PITTSBURGH -- Boarding a Super Bowl parade float in Los Angeles earlier this year, Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead wore a T-shirt displaying an image of his face with his organization's unofficial motto of the 2022 season superimposed over it.
“F--- them picks.”
It’s the same phrase former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill invoked during his first availability in Miami after the Dolphins gave up five draft picks -- including a 2022 first-rounder -- to secure the speedster’s services.
Since the start of 2018, there have been 17 trades that have included at least one first-round pick to acquire a veteran.
