Rams' Draft Strategy: Smart, Low-Risk Play

0:00On March 31st, the Los Angeles Rams hold the 13th overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, their highest spot since grabbing Jared Goff at number 1 back in 2016. General manager Les Sneed usually likes trading back to stack more picks, but he's pulled off big moves of the board when he really wants a guy. Sneed just wrapped up chats with reporters at the league meetings on Monday, and he's playing it cool on jumping higher. Moving into the top 10 would burn their second rounder at minimum, and probably more the further they climb. So that's a tough sell right now. Fans and analysts are buzzing because the Rams rarely draft this high, and it could shake up their roster big time. Sneed's history shows he's patient, building through volume picks rather than splashy trades. He's also shot down swapping that 13th for a vet like they did earlier this offseason. Instead, expect them to either stand pat or slide back to grab extra ammo for the future. With the draft clock ticking, the Rams look locked into a smart, low-risk play
