The last time the Rams drafted a quarterback, they traded up for Jared Goff in 2016. The team then, of course, used two firsts and one third round pick to acquire Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions in 2021, so it is not as though no capital has been used on the position.
And that trade doesn’t mean that the Rams have to stop trying to get better and more stable at quarterback through the draft. The 2023 class could be a perfect opportunity for Les Snead to draft his first quarterback since 2016, and for Sean McVay to be a part of developing a prospect that the team has invested capital on with the intention of making him a future starter.
