The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to trade down from the 26th overall pick in this year’s draft and gained two first-round picks in next year’s draft, including one from the Atlanta Falcons. According to head coach Sean McVay, the deal was “too good to pass up” considering their team’s current situation.
McVay expressed confidence that the move would bring in some top football players for the Rams. The general manager, Les Snead, acknowledged that they were not expecting a first-round pick to come out of their draft slot but found teams willing to give it up. However, Snead also noted that the value of moving up was too high.
With two first-round picks in 2026, the Rams are now well-positioned to grab a quarterback prospect for the future, especially given their current quarterback’s year-to-year situation. This move is seen as a strategic decision by the team, considering their draft history under McVay and Snead.
