LA Rams: Three draft-day trades the Rams could pull off
By Jason Reed
LA Rams draft-day trade #1:
The Cleveland Browns have been stacking up on talent this offseason. With the additions of Tyrod Taylor and Jarvis Landry, the Browns are looking respectable for the first time in years heading into the season. While they still have a long ways to go, the team finally seems to at least be on the right track.
With five picks currently in the first two rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns can afford to trade away some for established talent. On the LA Rams, no talent has been rumored to be traded more than former first-round pick Tavon Austin. Although, that speculation has slowed down recently.
Austin can still bring the Browns an interesting dynamic on the offensive side of the ball if he is used in the right packages. In the slot with Josh Gordon and Landry at wideout Austin should be able to thrive. He can also be a menace in the return game as well as a hybrid halfback similar to Ty Montgomery in Green Bay.
Cleveland would be sending away the 64th pick, assuming that the Rams would use it on a starting caliber middle linebacker. To butter the Browns up even more the Rams could throw two of their fix sixth-round picks in as well.
