The St. Louis Rams picked in the top-15 of the draft in every year from 2006 to 2016. In that time, they picked in the top-10 seven times and in the top-two five times, acquiring Chris Long, Jason Smith, Sam Bradford, Greg Robinson, and Jared Goff. The Rams’ power in draft capital during that decade was only outmatched by their inability to climb out of the top-15. Then the trade for Goff happened and less than a year later, Sean McVay became the head coach.
Those two moves have shifted LA’s draft strategy immensely, probably more than any other franchise in the last three years.
