Naw don’t think so Whittington and puka can handle it they need a x reciver and TE
McVay is very unlikely to leave the slot production, which is key to his offense, in the hands of a midround WR who got hurt and was not available last year when Kupp went out. Won't say no chance of that happening. But it's damn near that.
And nothing against Whittington. I like how he looked later in the season. But he's a darkhorse right now for that role.
Rams will probably add a TE for Kupp's "role" which will add some size which Stafford seems to prefer. That way you can call Whittington the slot, but Rams will be in a lot of 12 sets on key downs and/or will have that pass catching TE running Kupp's routes.
If they don't get the TE early or immediately after a trade down then they are going to look at guys like Bech or Restrepo. Both of whom will likely compete with Whittington in camp for that role if they are the pick. And to be quite honest either will likely beat him out for it as well.
