As you know, the LA Rams added pick 57 with the trade of Brandin Cooks to the Houston Texans last week. The move saved them no money in the short term but did give them important draft power that they were lacking before the trade. Les Snead and Sean McVay can choose to simply draft two players at the end of the second round, but what kind of options do they have if they instead opted to slide up for a prospect, offensive line or otherwise?
Because trading a player for a pick is an easy way to trade and that’s why it’s maybe the most common transaction of that ilk.
