The Los Angeles Rams could ultimately be debating whether or not they want to select a quarterback to succeed Matthew Stafford in the NFL Draft.

Loveland is 6-foot-5 and is a terrific athlete, making him a legitimate receiving threat at the tight end spot. The Rams lacked playmakers around Puka Nacua last season and Loveland would give them a player who can catch passes down the seam and stretch field against linebackers and safeties.

Mel Kiper, draft expert for ESPN, has the Cleveland Browns passing on a quarterback for arguably the best player in the draft.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had the Browns taking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. But in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock of the year for ESPN, he had Sanders’ teammate Travis Hunter going to Cleveland and Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

The Houston Texans bulk up their offensive line with the selection of a former Buckeye in Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest mock draft.
