As NFL franchises begin narrowing their target lists ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, renowned analyst Charles Davis projected the Los Angeles Rams to make a selection that would immediately reshape one of the league’s most dangerous receiving rooms.
The Rams are coming off a 2025 season in which Puka Nacua cemented himself as arguably the NFL’s premier chain-mover, hauling in 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns to finish among the league leaders.
Meanwhile, 13-year veteran Davante Adams remained one of football’s most lethal red-zone threats, recording 60 catches for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns, all in just 14 games.
Together, they formed a two-headed perimeter attack that forced opposing defenses into impossible coverage decisions on nearly every snap.
And yet, according to Davis, the Rams may not be done adding firepower. In his latest mock draft, he projected Los Angeles to use the No. 13 overall pick on Arizona State star Jordyn Tyson.

Tyson’s rise at Arizona State is the reason analysts like Davis are penciling him into the first round. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound receiver posted 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, despite appearing in just nine games.
That production followed a true breakout in 2024, when Tyson hauled in 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning All-Big 12 honors while helping lead the Sun Devils to an 11–3 record and the program’s first College Football Playoff appearance.
With the Rams firmly in a win-now window around reigning MVP Matthew Stafford and a receiving corps that already features two proven gamebreakers, adding Tyson would fundamentally alter how defenses approach Los Angeles.
It would hand Sean McVay a true three-level attack: a volume-driven chain-mover in Nacua, a polished veteran in Adams who thrives in contested situations, and a rookie capable of stretching the intermediate areas and attacking seams off play-action.
That kind of layered depth can be the difference in January, especially for a team coming off a narrow NFC Championship loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks just one month ago.
