Rams named 'worst fit' for 2025 WR draft prospect

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams could be in the market for a young receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft. Several prospects could fall to the Rams with the No. 26 overall pick and there are more options littered throughout the draft whom L.A. could select if the team wants to add to its receiver room.

One prospect the Rams should avoid, though, is Tre Harris of Ole Miss — but not because he's a bad prospect. Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski writes that the Rams would be the worst landing spot for Harris because his skillset doesn't mesh well with Sean McVay's offense.

"Harris has the natural tools to succeed at the next level," Sobleski writes. "He's a 6'2", 205-pound target who plays a physical brand of football in beating the jam, through his routes and after the catch.

"... Harris is not the caliber of route-runner to thrive in Sean McVay's scheme with the Los Angeles Rams, where they may have moved on from Cooper Kupp but can still rely on Puka Nacua and the newly-signed Davante Adams."

Harris was highly productive in five collegiate seasons — three for Louisiana Tech and two for Ole Miss. He finished his collegiate career with 220 receptions for 3,532 yards and 29 touchdowns in 51 games. While Harris could be a star elsewhere, the Rams need more than just a field-stretcher. He's Pro Football Focus' 13th-ranked receiver who the site compares most closely to Alec Pierce of the Indianapolis Colts because Harris' " route tree and separation rates leave something to be desired, but he can keep a defense honest with his field-stretching ability."

So while Harris could thrive on another team — Sobleski believes the Kansas City Chiefs are his best fit — Harris shouldn't be on the Rams' radar in April's draft.
