The Rams don’t build their roster the way most other teams do. They don’t grip their first-round picks with a vice, holding onto them like family heirlooms. Instead, they trade any and all valuable draft picks for proven players who can help them win more immediately than a rookie would.
They don’t ignore the draft, though, because much of their roster is rounded out by picks in the later rounds. They just prefer to exchange early picks for stars like Jalen Ramsey and Matthew Stafford.
It’s understandably difficult to keep doing this year in and year out, especially considering they have a limited allotment of top-100 picks each season. And COO Kevin Demoff knows it might not be sustainable.
