Sean McVay has been the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams for five full seasons. He’s never made a first-round pick, and he won’t until 2024 – and only if Les Snead doesn’t trade their first-rounder two years from now for another star.
This isn’t to say the Rams’ strategy is bad. Quite the opposite. They turned their aggressive approach into a Super Bowl ring in February, thanks to the help of players acquired in blockbuster trades: Matthew Stafford, Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller.
This year will be the 13th draft in which the Rams don’t have a first-round pick. However, as Andrew Siciliano notes, in the year following a draft without a first-rounder, the Rams won at least 10 games eight of the 12 times.
