The Rams offered blockbuster trade capital to the New York Jets in the 2024 draft

The Los Angeles Rams have been well linked to several draft day rumors that they would like to move up in the 2024 NFL Draft. Many expected the team to make a move and select an offensive player, but the team stayed put at 19 and selected Florida State passer Jared Verse.

However, they certainly did their best to move up in the draft, giving the New York Jets a blockbuster deal to move up from 19th to 10th overall, according to a new video released by the NFL.

The Rams offered both their first AND second round selections to move up nine spots in the draft. It’s likely the Rams wanted to get tight end Brock Bowers to add to their offense.

Los Angeles still ended up getting the 52nd overall pick the next day when they traded for Florida State DT Braden Fiske, a move that was often mocked and even called the worst draft overpay in years. years.

Both trades speak to how well the Rams’ overall approach has been to acquiring talent this offseason. They aggressively pursued talent in free agency and the draft in moves reminiscent of the 2018 Los Angeles Rams. It will be interesting to see how this continues as the season approaches and even throughout the season.
