As we headed toward the 2019 NFL Draft, I pointed out the significant deficit the Rams had incurred in the last four offseasons between the numbers of players and draft picks the Los Angeles Rams had sent away and those they had brought in. With a deficit of about 13 players and/or picks, the Rams had a major hole in the middle of their offense (not at the top) that they needed to begin to address substantively. I thought the easiest and best way to do that was to trade down in the draft which is precisely what the Rams did under General Manager Les Snead’s supervision.
