I’m without a doubt in the trade down camp. I think it gives the Rams the best option to add depth and talent at the same time.
The trade down scenario I would like to see most is the Rams trading their 1st round pick (31st overall) to the Raiders for their 2nd round pick (35th overall) and 4th round (106th overall). I still don’t think this trade down achieves the balance of talent and depth. To strike that balance, I would then want the Rams to trade their first 3rd round pick (94th overall), and newly acquired 4th rounder (106th overall) with a 2020 3rd rounder to the Texans for their 2nd rounder (55th overall).
The Rams would now have the 35th overall, 55th overall, 99th overall picks. There are so many ways the Rams can go from there it’s incredible. The Rams could do something like Dalton Risner at 35, Rock Ya-Sin at 55, and Khalen Saunders at 99. That’s not necessarily my preference for players selected, but it seems like that’s where we could expect those guys to be chosen.
The other trade scenarios that make sense are The Rams trading their 1st to the Browns for their 2nd rounder (49th) and 3rd rounder (80th). I still prefer my first scenario to this one, but it would give the Rams 4 picks in the Top 100.
The final scenario I could see is pretty similar to the one with the Browns. Rams trade their 1st to the Dolphins for their 2nd rounder (48th) and 3rd rounder (78th). I see this scenario being the least likely due to the talent on the Dolphins roster.
I think Cleveland would be a willing trade partner because the Browns roster is really coming together. While the Browns would be giving up quantity, they would be getting a higher quality player. The Browns are probably only a few players away from having a really good roster. This trade allows them to grab one of those players.
I think the Raiders would be more than willing to make a deal with the Rams as well. Having 4 1st round selections would go a long way in helping overhaul their roster, but I’m not sure how willing the Texans would be to agree to the second part of this trade scenario though.
Which scenario do you guys like best if given the choice? Is there another scenario that you guys have thought about? Or do you just prefer the Rams keep their 1st round pick?
