The Los Angeles Rams had opted to sit out Day 1 of previous NFL drafts, only choosing once since hiring head coach Sean McVay in 2017. Of course, that one selection resulted in adding outside linebacker Jared Verse. And many fans can legitimately argue that he was well worth the wait.
But the days of sitting out on Round 1 of the draft appear to be over. Los Angeles enters the fray armed with two first-round picks this year. And with a roster that advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game, the team may package several picks of its existing 10 selections to ensure it lands plug-and-play-ready rookies.
