Rams Trade Away First-Round Picks

The Rams just pulled off a blockbuster trade, acquiring superstar Myles Garrett by sending their 2027 first-round pick to Cleveland — and now they’re down to just one first-round draft pick on the roster: Ty Simpson. Simpson, selected in 2026, is the lone Rams player drafted by them since Jared Goff in 2016 — who ironically was traded away for Matthew Stafford back in 2009. The Rams’ pattern? Trading away first-rounders for proven talent — like sending picks to Jacksonville for Jalen Ramsey or to Detroit for Stafford. Jared Verse, their 2024 19th-round pick, was shipped off in the Garrett deal, and they’ve flipped other picks recently, including sending their 2025 26th pick to Atlanta for Simpson, and their 2026 29th pick to Kansas City for Trent McDuffie. They won’t have a first-round pick again until 2028 — unless they trade back into the first round next year, which isn’t really their style. For now, Simpson stands alone as the Rams’ only homegrown first-round talent. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
