After trading their 2018 first-round pick for wide receiver earlier this month, there was little chance the Rams would do much during the first night of this year’s NFL Draft on Thursday.
That’s especially because the club had already traded its second-round selection for wide receiver Sammy Watkins back in August of 2017.
According to general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay, Thursday night was a different sensation. That’s even in comparison to last year when the club also did not have a first-round pick since L.A. doesn’t pick until midway through the third round.
