Had the Los Angeles Rams not traded their first-round pick to the Detroit Lions in the Matthew Stafford deal, they’d be picking in the top 10 this year. Granted, they also (probably) wouldn’t have won the Super Bowl, but it hurts to see the Rams without a first-round pick after such a frustrating season.
Los Angeles finished with a 5-12 record this season, which was the sixth-worst in the NFL. As a result, the Lions hold the No. 6 overall pick in the draft thanks to their trade with the Rams. Detroit will also have its own pick at No. 18, too.
