Rams' NFL Draft: Trade Up for WR or Offensive Tackle?

0:00It's April 22nd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Corey with the story. The NFL draft kicks off tomorrow, and the Los Angeles Rams sitting at the 13th overall pick are buzzing as a potential trade hub in Round 1. Fans hit up the latest mailbag with questions on moves, and the big theme is whether the Rams trade up for a wide receiver upgrade. Teams like the Washington commanders could deal down to 13, letting the Rams snackfits like Jordan Tyson or Carnell Tate while Washington grabs extra picks for slot guys such as Mackay Lemon or Omar Cooper. Both squads need receiver help, but their current draft spots do not line up perfectly with top talents. Rams brass has shopped trades up before, like last year for Tate McMillan and Ameca Egbuca or the year prior for Brock Bowers. Sports Illustrated reports confirm they are added again, eyeing Tyson, Tate or even Jeremiah Love if he slips past the top five.

1:01One shocker would be the Rams grabbing an offensive tackle at 13, given they extended Alleric Jackson and Warren McClendon balled out on the right side last season. That pick might signal doubts on health or future contracts, but it feels off script. General manager Les Sneed praised Lemon recently, so they could take him straight up or trade back for more picks and still circle around. With so many paths, expect the Rams to shake things up when the board opens.
