The Los Angeles Rams hired 30-year-old Sean McVay as their head coach way back in 2017. McVay is now 37 and he still hasn’t made a first-round pick. With all the trades the Rams have made during his tenure, they’ve used their top picks to acquire veterans, a strategy that worked and resulted in a Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
They sent their 2023 first-rounders to the Lions as part of the Matthew Stafford deal in 2021, which left them without a pick in Round 1 for the seventh consecutive year. They chose not to trade up on Thursday night, standing pat at No. 36 in the second round.
