2 FIRST ROUNDERS in next year's draft!!!

[Ants]

We got a 2nd this year and a 1st next year from Atlanta.
Next year should be a better year to perhaps draft Stafford's replacement. Wow, I'm liking this!

[EastBayRamsFan]

I smell a QB in 2026 in exchange for both of these.

[brasilrams]

I hate this . Chances of drafting an impact player are now , greatly reduced.

2nd this year is because we gave up our first. Big gain is 1st next year. This draft is going to be thin. Not alot of picks.

[SoCalRam78]

Not bad. Raheem morris and penix I assume will result in a solid first round pick.

Who was the impact player we missed at 26?

[Jacksnow]

So we get their 2nd round 46th pick?

[Claremontram]

When do we pick in the second round?

[Ants]

Yes, we get their 2nd round pick this year (gave up our 1st rounder this year).
Still, lots of good players out there.

There seems to be a line of thought this year in that picks from about 10 to 50 are a bunch of guys with similar ratings.
So there won't be (in theory) much of a drop off when the Rams pick in the 2nd round.

[Truth]

I like this deal too. Feels like making up for the Fiske trade but getting a better pick.

I also think good chance Falcons suck next year.

[49RH8R]

When do we pick in the second round?

46

[49RH8R]

We gave up a 3rd too

[NorCal RF]

JMO it is exactly what we needed to do to go after that next top rated college QB after Stafford. I said so a few months ago the value of getting a second 1st round pick in this draft for next year. It is a projected really good QB draft next year.

There will be solid players to take moving forward in this draft. And now we don’t have to worry about them taking a QB the next 2 days.

Big fan of this trade.

It played out just as I thought. Pick 26 was a black hole of huge question marks. They either took OL depth, or took a chance with the Mich DB, or LB Campbell, who both had injury questions.

I would have liked a little bit more in return, because the 2nd rounder is a mid round pick, and we also gave up a 3rd. Next year will be great, but they gotta hit these few picks out of the park.

And our own 2nd and 3rd so 4 picks in the first 2 rounds.

I doubt that holds but the Rams definitely scouted the 2026 draft already.

[Truth]

Is there another QB next year better than Shedeur tho? Seems fortunate to get a guy slide that long

We didn't have a 2nd this year, and we also gave up the compensatory 3rd round pick (#101) this year.
So, we end up with no first rounder, but got a 2nd and still have a 3rd (#90).

[Claremontram]

Need to nail these 2nd and 3rd round picks. Would Snead trade down from 46? I hope not.

will be a huge fan if ATL shits the bed next yr. I don't like trading away our 3rd rounder though

[StlRams99]

So, if we know it’s a QB next year, do we put beaf on the line this year? Tackle? Center?

[Commish]

By all 'knowledgable' accounts, definitely! 8-)

RAM SEASON!!

It is a smart move but ATL is too far down

I don’t either in regards to 101 but JMO well worth it to now have their first next year.

Niners n Seahawks forums are like what the hell ATL. Yes most feel Pearce will be a good player but they are not happy we possibly set ourselves up for possibly the top QB next year. A few have said in those forums that Sneed is just damn smart.

[Commish]

So, if we know it’s a QB next year, do we put beaf on the line this year? Tackle? Center?

The Rams do need a swing-style backup OT, one who can develop into a starter next season, yet even more so they'll need to acquire a #1 CB and a starting ILB... :? ;) :idea:

RAM SEASON!!

I look at it two ways. Besides Campbell, I wasn't thinking oh we need to draft player X. We're still in great position with our second round pick...

That trade IMO was all about 2026. Instead of having to make a crazy trade to move up we can now package the 2 first round picks next year and perhaps our 2027 1st or 2nd round pick to move up and get a QB...

Bottom line IMO. It doesn't hurt us this year but gives us a ton of capitol for next year. I grade the trade a solid A+...

[SheepNoMore]

QBs next year --

I like the move because I didn't see a path for a quality QB this year or next w/o a much higher pick in 1st round, which they now have (and we will root against ATL every game next year).

How about this. Atlanta sucks next year, finish with a top 5 pick, and they don't have to package both 1s for a QB?

Here we go again. I couldn't wait for this draft to come, and now I'm already counting the days for the 26 draft. I guess I need to get a few hobbies or something!!

I like how you think...

Obviously I want Atlanta to suck next year. Would be freaking awesome. If by chance they\we had the 5th pick and we won the SB we could package those picks with a 4th round pick and move up to get the #1 pick. I'm hoping for the best but even if we have their 15th pick and we package our 32nd pick plus a pick later (3rd or 4th round) or even our #1 in 2026 I'd make the move in a heartbeat to get the best QB on the board...

Again - I rate the trade A+...
