Another night, another fairly puzzling pick by the Los Angeles Rams. After taking Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in Round 1, the Rams took a player at another position of strength in the second round on Friday.
At No. 61 overall, the Rams drafted Ohio State tight end Max Klare. He's a good player, but he's not viewed as special and Los Angeles already has four starting-caliber tight ends. Hence, the puzzled and confused reactions from both fans and analysts after the pick was made.
Here are some of the best reactions on X/Twitter following the Rams' second pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Rams draft strategy:"What do we already have?""Let's draft another one."(and I like Max Klare)
Max Klare is a great route runner but he cant block as a tight end. I'm beyond confused.
Things continue to get VERY strange with the Los Angeles Rams... didn't they just take Ferguson last year?? https://t.co/7H6WYFiUn1

There's a lot of overlap with Klare and Ferguson's game. Not sure who is going to block but a good athlete who catches everything his way. Ferguson more dynamic of an athlete but Klare better hands.

Rams now 2 for 2 in picking players everyone is calling a “reach.” Karma for laughing at the Patriots and Cole Strange four years ago
Rams clearly aren’t abandoning their 13 personnel packages
