The 2023 NFL Draft holds a wealth of talent, particularly in the running back, defensive line, and tight end positions. This offers the Los Angeles Rams a prime opportunity to secure a long-term replacement for Tyler Higbee at tight end as his tenure winds down. With Cooper Kupp likely departing, the Rams, under head coach Sean McVay, need to bolster their receiving corps.

A standout in the tight end class is Gunnar Helm from Texas, who showcased his skills at the NFL Scouting Combine. While he may not have elite speed, his solid technique and versatility make him an appealing option for the Rams to consider on Day 2 of the draft. Helm emphasized the importance of being a balanced tight end, underscoring his commitment to improving his game and technique for success at the next level.
