Sweet!
BTW...just curious...what players on our team are comp picks?
The 3rd round comp pick from 2016 was part of the Goff trade. That allowed them to use their own original 3rd rounder on Kupp.
It is true that for the most part in their history the Rams have not gotten high comp picks because they tended to sign, and not let go, high contract free agents.
But if they get 2 3rd round picks in 2019 that gives them the flexibility to trade up and replace the 2nd rounder they gave to KC for Peters.
In terms of hitting on players in round 3 with Snead on board, since 2012 the Rams have had 8 3rd rounders. They hit on 5 of them. A hit rate of 62.6% is way above the norm for 3rd round picks league wide--which, according to my source, is 35%. That includes Tru, McDonald, Brown, Kupp, and Johnson. All starters. Johnson and Kupp are stand-out starters not just starters. Brown was part of an OL that was universally ranked highly in 2017. The 6th is Mannion and it's not clear to me yet if he;s a hit, but his poor play behind a back-up OL in game 16 last year notwithstanding, at least he represents an affordable #2 qb who is probably as decent as any other #2 qb they could buy on the FA market.The 2 "misses" are gone for non-football reasons--Bailey (shot) and Mason (mental health).
