Rams trade No. 45 pick to Patriots for No. 56 overall

The Los Angeles Rams are delaying their first pick of the 2019 NFL draft again. They’ve traded the 45th overall selection to the New England Patriots for Nos. 56 and 101.

This is the second time the Rams have traded down in the draft, sending the 31st overall pick to the Falcons for No. 45 overall. Los Angeles now has five picks on Friday night.

  • Round 2, No. 56
  • Round 3, No. 79
  • Round 3, No. 94
  • Round 3, No. 99
  • Round 3, No. 101

With the 45th pick, the Patriots picked cornerback Joejuan Williams out of Vanderbilt.

The Rams could’ve stayed put and selected Williams themselves, or perhaps Greedy Williams out of LSU. Erik McCoy, Nasir Adderley, Taylor Rapp and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson were also available when the Rams were up.
