Snead explained that because the Rams traded away two 2025 picks to Falcons and only got one back (although the other was a 2026 first-rounder), and because they already didn't have their own own second-round pick after the Braden Fiske trade in 2024, that they weren't positioned as well to wait for their players to fall to them in 2025.

The Los Angeles Rams won't be spending a lot of salary cap on their 2025 NFL Draft class. L.A. has the smallest draft pool set aside for rookie deals this year at $6.734 million, according to Over the Cap. The New England Patriots have the largest at $18.887 million.
