Overview

  • The Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State tight end Max Klare with the 61st pick Friday in the second round after opening with quarterback Ty Simpson in Round 1.
  • He joins a crowded room with Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen as Sean McVay leans into three‑tight‑end sets called 13 personnel.
  • Early snaps may be limited in 2026 as tight ends often need time to adjust and evaluators say he needs development as a blocker.
  • Klare posted 43 catches for 448 yards at Ohio State in 2025 after a 51‑catch, 685‑yard year at Purdue in 2024, and ESPN ranked him the No. 3 tight end in this class.
  • The move prepares for possible turnover, with Parkinson and Allen in contract years and Higbee nearing the end of his deal, keeping the Rams stocked for future seasons.
