The Los Angeles Rams reportedly offered four draft picks—two in 2023 and two in 2024—plus Cam Akers in exchange for Christian McCaffrey. Even losing out on one running back, it may not stop Les Snead from shipping out picks for somebody prior to the November 1 trade deadline.
How many picks do the Rams actually have to work with over the next two years? Los Angeles is able to trade picks as far out as 2025, but teams value picks more based on how soon those picks are useable, so a second round pick in 2024 would be more like a third round pick, and a fifth round pick in 2025 might be more like a sixth round pick in 2024 or a seventh round pick in 2023.
