LA has been tied to a potential move into the top 10 for Jordyn Tyson, but the Giants’ involvement and the trade dynamics muddy the path for the Rams to land the Arizona State receiver.
One scenario discussed by analysts envisions NYG using its 5th pick on an offensive lineman (Mauigoa or Fano) and taking Caleb Downs at 10, which could leave Tyson on the board just as the Rams try to move up to the 6th or 7th spot.
Tyson’s stock has recovered after durability questions, and his production stands out—2,282 yards and 22 touchdowns on 158 receptions over the past four seasons—keeping him in the crosshairs for teams targeting a top WR prospect.
If Tyson lands outside the top five, the Rams could still be in a position to strike, potentially moving up to the 6–7 range or settling for the best available option. Tyson’s workout visit kept LA in the mix, and the Giants’ dinner meeting with him added to the intrigue about his destination.
LA’s receiving corps already features Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, and Konata Mumpfield, with Nacua set for an extension and Adams approaching age 34 amid injury questions. If Tyson isn’t available, Makai Lemon is among the top alternatives the Rams could pursue, alongside continued emphasis on offensive line and linebacker options.
Bottom line: the Rams still have a viable path to adding a premier playmaker in the 2026 draft, but the Lawrence trade has reshaped the top of the board and introduced new risk-reward considerations for McVay and his front office.
