Rams not pushing to trade up (or down)
The Rams have the ammo to trade up into the first round thanks to the 52nd and 57th picks, but it’s highly unlikely to happen. Snead called it “a little unrealistic” to move up that far, saying it’s “less rational unless you’re just wanting to come away with one player.”
He didn’t completely rule out moving up and said it would take a player they covet in order to move into the first round, but he also wants to let the draft come to him.
“We’ve proven that we’ll go get a player and we’ll also move back to acquire more picks in the draft, which ultimately means more players,” he said. “So that’s the benefit, you either give up a player on the back end to go get one, or maybe you gain one or two more that you weren’t expecting if you trade back. We’ll try to navigate that as the draft comes to us, because when you’re picking 52 (overall), 57 (overall), there is an element that you have to allow the draft to come to you a little bit.”
