The Las Vegas Raiders find themselves at the center of trade speculation as the NFL Draft approaches, particularly concerning their No. 6 overall pick. With the Los Angeles Rams potentially eyeing Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, the Raiders could be in a position to orchestrate a significant trade.
The Rams, seeking to bolster their offensive arsenal for Matthew Stafford, are reportedly considering a move for Warren, who is drawing comparisons to, and even surpassing, Brock Bowers in some evaluations.

Bret Stuter of Ramblin’ Fan has proposed a trade scenario that would see the Raiders send their coveted No. 6 pick, along with a fifth-round selection, to the Rams. In exchange, the Raiders would receive the Rams’ 26th overall pick, two third-round selections, and a 2026 first-round pick. This proposal hinges on the Rams’ desire to secure Warren, a highly touted tight end prospect.
Warren’s impressive collegiate career at Penn State, culminating in 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns in his final season, has made him a sought-after talent. His 6-foot-6 frame and athletic prowess have drawn comparisons to last year’s standout tight end, Brock Bowers, with some analysts projecting Warren to have an even greater impact.
The Raiders, holding the No. 6 pick, possess a valuable asset in this draft. While the Rams are reportedly keen on acquiring Warren to address their tight end needs, particularly with Tyler Higbee’s decline, the Raiders’ willingness to trade down remains a crucial factor.
The potential return from such a trade, however, could provide the Raiders with substantial draft capital to address their own roster needs. The decision for the Raiders will be weighing the immediate value of the 6th pick, versus a long term gain in multiple picks.
