49ers

49ers’ fifth-round S Marques Sigle was drafted out of Kansas State after transferring from North Dakota State, where he was a reserve cornerback. Sigle reflected on his collegiate journey to the NFL.

“Now they know my name,” Sigle said, via Vic Tafur of The Athletic. “I just kept working, and people still didn’t know my name before the scouting combine. People thought I was going to run a 4.5 or a 4.6 … And some people still didn’t know my name before the draft, but now they do.”

49ers GM John Lynch said Sigle can play the nickel role and has “a lot of versatility to his game.”

“He’s awesome,” Lynch said. “He’s played nickel. He’s a guy who can really run. I never knew watching him on the field (but) that is a blazing time, and he’s got a lot of versatility to his game. He’s a good tackler. He takes the fight to the ball carrier to the receiver. I think he’s going to be a really good fit for us.”

Kansas State DC Joe Klanderman reiterated how Sigle can line up in multiple defensive positions.

“Marques is tremendous,” Klanderman said. “I think he is going to play for a lot of years. He is versatile and can play a lot of different positions and is a hard worker, and I think he is going to be a good leader. I think the world of him.”

Rams

  • According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Rams traded out of the first round with Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson and LSU TE Mason Taylor in mind. They wound up taking Ferguson at No. 46 overall.
  • Although Taylor went four picks earlier to the Jets, one team source told Fowler that they had Ferguson higher on the draft board and they would’ve taken him even if Taylor was available.
  • As for the 2026 NFL Draft, some around the league believe HC Sean McVay could use one of his first-round picks on a quarterback, which would be the first time for McVay to take a QB in the opening round.
  • Fowler also reports that Los Angeles is still involved in a potential trade to acquire Jalen Ramsey from the Dolphins, but his $24 million in guarantees could be prohibitive.
  • SI.com’s Albert Breer notes that the money is the biggest holdup with a trade for Ramsey, as he is due $25.1 million with almost all of it guaranteed.
  • Breer thinks the Rams would require Miami to eat significant money for a better draft pick to get the deal done.
  • Jeremy Fowler reports that Former Titans assistant GM Anthony Robinson is joining the Rams organization.

Seahawks

Seahawks GM John Schneider is glad third-round QB Jalen Milroe will not have pressure on him to come in and immediately perform for the franchise, as they have already signed free agent QB Sam Darnold to be the starter.
