Nice pick, fits a need.

So can we expect more 12 personnel sets this season?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The second McVay said he wanted to make the offense more dynamic, and the rumors of how badly he wanted Bowers last year, I knew we were going TE with the #1. It was just a matter of who.

Ferguson was such a popular match with the Rams (including as a top choice on some scouts’ and coaches’ “Make Him a Ram” survey) that they even discussed whether they should take him at No. 26, though overall the preference of the group was to trade back into the second round.

We’ve had journeyman production at the TE position for more years than I can count.

We’re clearly overdue for quality production.

Actually, I can’t remember us ever having a pro bowl TE.

Draft Profile: Bio
Terrance Ferguson, a 6'5", 243-pound tight end from Oregon, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a highly accomplished collegiate player. A former four-star recruit from Colorado, Ferguson quickly became an integral part of the Ducks' offense, earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors in his senior season.

Ferguson's production steadily increased throughout his college career. As a freshman in 2021, he caught 17 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. His sophomore year saw a significant jump to 32 receptions for 391 yards and five scores. In 2023, Ferguson had his best season yet, recording 42 catches for 416 yards and six touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the top tight ends in the country.

Ferguson's impact at Oregon goes beyond mere statistics. He finishes his college career tied for fourth all-time in receptions by an Oregon tight end with 91, just 33 shy of the program record. His 13 career touchdown catches are tied for third-most by a Ducks tight end, only two behind the all-time mark.
