Rams trade No. 31 pick to Falcons, move back to No. 45

To the surprise of very few, the Los Angeles Rams have struck a deal to trade back in the draft. They sent the No. 31 overall pick to the Atlanta Falcons.

The Rams get the 45th overall pick, as well as the 79th, while also sending the Falcons the 203rd selection. The Falcons spent the 31st pick on offensive tackle Kaleb McGary.

The depth and overall talent of this draft class made trading down an enticing move for the Rams, especially considering they didn’t have a second-round pick due to the Marcus Peters trade. By moving down, they acquire additional picks to bolster the roster.

This is the third straight year the Rams have not made a first-round pick with the last one coming in 2016 when they took Jared Goff first overall.
