My current thoughts...
This is a deep draft through at least round 4 at positions of interest to Rams. This is obviously a very good thing for a team lacking a 1st.
Therefore, I see Snead trying his best to do at least 2 modest trade downs, say around 5 or so picks, when he sees multiple players below that match his draft board.
If I’m right then Snead will wind up with 8 or more picks and at least 5 in the top 4 rounds which is the sweet spot in this particular draft.
I do NOT see an early Snead trade up no matter how tempting it might be. The value is in trade downs for this particular team for this particular draft. Sorry.
I doubt that Rams get a single immediate starter from this draft because of the talent already on board. If they get REAL lucky a starter might be at either WOLB or nickel CB. But that would only happen because a lot of teams made mistakes ahead of Ram picks OR because the Rams got Kupp, JJ, or Fuller lucky.
Picking the position of Rams 1st pick is a fool’s errand. Too many good players at too many desired Ram positions. I intend to try to relax and enjoy watching this draft unfold.
I think that the Rams are positioned nicely to have another good draft.
