The LA Rams Made The Trade Because The Previous Plan Wasn't Working
Billy Hurst-USA TODAY SportsFor four years, Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher and General Manager Les Snead followed a plan. It wasn't working. So they gave it up.
In 2012, the St. Louis Rams shipped the #2 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft to Washington for their next three first-round picks and their 2012 NFL Draft second-round pick. They then promptly sent their new first-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys for an extra second-rounder....which they again shipped off, this time to the Chicago Bears. A year later, they pushed their first-round pick off to the Atlanta Falcons for an extra third-rounder and a late pick they ultimately included in a trade package.
