Since the Sean McVay era started in 2017, the Los Angeles Rams have turned the NFL landscape upside down by trading first round picks for proven superstars and even late round picks for additional depth pieces.
Les Snead, McVay, & COO Kevin Demoff identified and exploited a way to build a competitive roster on a yearly basis with this tactic. Demoff recently spoke about this to the L.A. Times, admitting that the Rams can’t predict the future but they will continue to move in this direction.
“I don’t know that this model in particular is sustainable forever, but management will remain aggressive to continue to put a championship-caliber team on the field”
I agree that eventually, the model of their roster build will no longer be conducive to the format of building a championship team.
