The Rams had three 6th round selections and, like both of their 4th round picks, went on weapons for Goff — this time it was for a tight end Temarrick Hemingway.

Hemingway coming from South Carolina State, has the size at 6’4, and can be a perfect red zone threat. He has impressive quickness for a man his size but he does need to add more bulk if he wants to play tight end in the NFL.

At 244 pounds, he may be best used as a hybrid tight end rather than a traditional tight end. He does need to also improve his route running.

He may be best sitting a year while he develops his game and gain some bulk before becoming more than a role player.

Draft Grade: D
