Mike Wright highlighted Terrance Ferguson as a rookie tight end to chase after the Rams spent their very first pick—a second-rounder—on him despite limited college production. Wright stressed that, unlike wide receivers, the tight-end position correlates far more with athletic testing, and Ferguson’s combine scores sit near the top of the class. On film, Wright saw a player who breaks tackles, shows real burst once the ball is in his hands, and can run away from linebackers—traits Sean McVay schemes into space better than almost anyone. While acknowledging the Gerald Everett miss a few years back, Wright is willing to "chase the dragon" again given the draft capital, Ferguson’s explosive profile, and a shallow depth chart that currently lists only 30-year-old Tyler Higbee coming off ACL surgery. He recommends spending a final-round pick in redraft or best-ball leagues, pairing Ferguson with an established floor play to capture his potential late-season breakout.

Beimfohr was surprised but encouraged when the Rams spent pick 2.14 on Oregon tight end Terrence Ferguson—easily the highest capital the franchise has invested at the position since Tyler Higbee in 2016. Sean McVay has chased a complete tight end for years, rotating specialists like Colby Parkinson (blocker only) and aging Higbee (recovering from ACL). Ferguson brings dual-threat ability: an 80-plus PFF run-blocking grade and a 22% college target share. In McVay’s offense, a TE who can stay on the field for every formation is gold; the Rams targeted tight ends on 19% of routes last season despite lacking talent. If Ferguson claims the full-time role, Beimfohr sees an immediate TE1 ceiling at a double-digit Best Ball ADP and is grabbing shares before camp hype pushes him into the single-digit rounds.

Evan Silva highlighted Terrence Ferguson as the Rams’ most intriguing skill-position addition and a name to remember in tight-end-premium formats. A 94th-percentile athlete who set all major receiving records for Oregon tight ends, Ferguson was the consensus TE3 in the class and gives Matthew Stafford a seam-stretching option the franchise has lacked since the Gerald Everett experiment. The Rams invested real capital—dropping 20 spots in Round 2 after trading with Atlanta to land him—signaling a desire to add a new dimension to their passing attack. Silva thinks Ferguson could leapfrog second-year project Blake Corum for red-zone targets as early as mid-season and recommended stashing him in the last round of best-ball drafts and on deep dynasty rosters where tight-end scarcity amplifies upside.

Chris Raybon called the Rams’ decision to make Oregon tight end Terrence Ferguson their first selection (mid-Round 2) a questionable luxury move for a roster still chasing the NFC’s elite. With no first-round pick, Los Angeles opened its draft by spending on a tight end and later a running back, a sequence Raybon said puts massive pressure on their Day-3 defensive swings to pan out. He argued Ferguson profiles as a complementary piece rather than the difference-maker the Rams need now, shrinking both Ferguson’s target projection and the offense’s overall upside. Raybon advised fantasy drafters to steer clear of Ferguson in redraft leagues and treat him as a late best-ball dart until the Rams demonstrate a plan to feature him.

Mike Renner admitted he was higher on Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson than "pretty much anyone," but said the Rams snagging him at pick 46 gives dynasty managers a chance to get in on a potential top-eight fantasy tight end at a steep discount. Renner noted Ferguson’s 26 percent target-per-route rate, 2.18 yards per route, and 12-of-13 contested-catch conversion rate last season—numbers that would have slotted among the NFL’s top tight ends. He praised Sean McVay’s history of featuring versatile move TEs (think early-career Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett) and pointed out that Los Angeles ranked sixth in play-action rate and fifth in tight-end red-zone targets in 2024. With only a fading Higbee ahead of him and Matthew Stafford still accurate over the middle, Renner forecasted a path to 55-60 rookie targets and labeled Ferguson a priority late-second-round pick in tight-end-premium dynasty rookie drafts and a sneaky best-ball dart for 2025 spike games.
