Trading Van Jefferson only reiterates a bad 2020 draft class for Rams

The Los Angeles Rams traded away wide receiver Van Jefferson to the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday for sixth and seventh-round pick swaps in 2025. That’s a long way of saying, they traded away Jefferson for next to nothing.

This comes less than three weeks after the Rams traded away Cam Akers for late-round pick swaps in 2026. Again, that’s a long way of saying that the Rams traded away Akers for next to nothing.

Trading Akers made some sense as he was a player that didn’t fit on the locker room or what the Rams were looking for moving forward.
