By the time the draft rolls around, the Rams will have a pretty good idea of what comp picks they could be getting in the 2019 draft.....that could allow Snead to make trades knowing those picks are coming.....that's exactly what happened with the Goff trade......they knew they were getting high picks for Jenkins/McLeod so they were able to put together a trade deal that didn't wipe out two drafts. Even with the trade they had 6 picks in 2016 and 8 picks in 2017.
