In Sean McVay’s first year as an NFL head coach, he and the Los Angeles Rams came away with quite the haul in free agency. Despite not having a first-round pick due to the Jared Goff trade-up a year prior, the Rams still wound up with five players who would become starters in the next four seasons.
