On the basis of the history of the Rams project in the era The SNEAD / Sean Mcvay, it was not really a shock to see the club trade of its first round choice at N ° 26 in total.
It is however a slight surprise that the club was able to make a first round choice in next year’s draft as part of the agreement to return with the Falcons.
Los Angeles received the number 46 in total in the second round Friday, the choice of Atlanta in the first round in 2026, and a choice of seventh round in exchange for n ° 26 in total and a choice of third round this year.
“To be able to obtain a future” one “is a big problem to simply back up 20 places,” said head coach Sean Mcvay at a press conference on Thursday evening. “Obviously, the next few days will be exciting, but we feel really well in the way this evening went for us
“I think we are considering where our team is global and the value we were able to get in order to go back 20 places seemed too good to be able to pass,” added Mcvay later. “We are going to resume with certainty with good football players.”
The Director General Les SNEAD noted that the RAMs probably did not expect a first round choice to leave his draft niche. But without a second round choice after having used it to exchange last year, the club sought to collect an active.
“You must have someone who really wants to come to abandon this type of choice,” said Snead. “There were several teams who wanted to have come later behind us in the first round and even in the second round. It’s just that the Falcons wanted Mr. (James) Pierce piercing a little more than (the other teams) wanted to whom they came.”
Snead noted that the Rams had tried to go up in the first round, but said that it was not for any particular player.
“We just wanted to get up and see how it would go,” said Snead. “We tried to move, but the value that went there that the teams asked was too much or more than what we would give.”
So now, the Rams have two first -round choices for the 2026 draft. And with their current quarter which goes from year to year, and the next generation of quarters which was to be better than in 2025, Los Angeles is in a favorable position to potentially take a QB of the future.
