49ers
- According to SI.com’s Albert Breer, the 49ers had a strong interest in Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen before he was selected by the Cardinals.
Rams
- Breer reports that the Rams attempted to trade up to No. 8 for WR Tetairoa McMillan but ended up out of the first round after the Falcons moved up for DE James Pearce Jr..
- Breer expresses uncertainty about the Rams’ valuation of WRs Jayden Higgins, Luther Burden, RBs TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, or TE Mason Taylor over TE Terrance Ferguson, who they selected at 46.
- Ferguson aligns with the Rams’ search for an athletic tight end after missing out on Dalton Kincaid and Brock Bowers.
- Michael Silver from The Athletic noted the Rams were interested in trading a 2026 second-round pick to re-enter the draft at No. 70 for DE Ashton Gillotte, but he was picked earlier by the Chiefs.
Seahawks
In the selection of Alabama QB Jalen Milroe at pick No. 92, Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald emphasized focusing on his development, clarifying that Milroe will play strictly as a quarterback and not in a hybrid role like the Saints’ Taysom Hill.
