Rams may play it safer in draft
As of now, the Rams only have three picks in the first five rounds, being without selections in the first and fifth. They could get a compensatory pick in the third or fourth round, which would help their draft capital.
But even still, Snead acknowledged the fact that the Rams may have to play it safer with fewer picks to work with. He’s always tempted to take boom-or-bust prospects, but with a limited pool of picks, he may steer toward the “solid, sound” player.
“When you have less draft picks, you have to run that equation,” Snead said. “Do you just get a solid, sound pick because you have less picks in the mutual fund? So it’s probably better to just go solid, sound. But you could always be tempted if someone fell that is more boom or bust because you’re saying he’s got some element of better skills than where you would be picking them but something causes them to fall. But that becomes a volatile investment that you’ve got to weigh.”
