LA Rams: Three draft-day trades the Rams could pull off
By Jason Reed
The LA Rams have done just about everything they could this NFL offseason. Next on the horizon is the 2018 NFL Draft.
The LA Rams are setting up to be the next NFL powerhouse. After a great 11-5 turnaround season the LA Rams have capitalized on the momentum in the NFL offseason. Los Angeles has not been shy in bringing in star after star and getting rid of players and contracts that did not the system that the team was initiating.
Among the new faces in Los Angeles are Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Brandin Cooks. The losses aren’t nearly as significant in the likes of Sammy Watkins, Alec Ogletree and Robert Quinn.
All in all, the LA Rams are capitalizing on their youth to bring in established stars to polish of an already great group of guys. The team already had the Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley and the Coach of the Year Sean McVay. Anything they added was just going to be gravy.
The LA Rams have been utilizing the 2018 NFL Draft to make these moves. After seeing just one of their draft pick’s have an impact last season, the Rams have not been hesitant in trading away picks. Los Angeles does not have a pick until the third-round of the draft and owns five sixth-round picks.
Knowing the Rams, they are not done yet. With a significant hole at middle linebacker, the team may be looking to make a draft-day trade. Here are three draft-day trades that the LA Rams could pull the trigger on.
