The biggest move the Rams made during the 2022 NFL draft wasn’t the selection of Logan Bruss in the third round or their trade up to draft Kyren Williams. It was the deal they made with the Browns to bring Troy Hill back to Los Angeles.
It was a trade that almost no one saw coming, and it happened right after the Rams selected Decobie Durant in the fourth round. Bringing Hill back solidified the secondary after losing Darious Williams in free agency, and it only cost them a fifth-round pick in 2023.
Knowing the Browns had great depth at cornerback, and then seeing them draft another corner (Martin Emerson) 68th overall, the Rams kept a close eye on Hill’s availability. They’re thrilled to have him in the secondary again, and his versatility is a big reason for that.
