The LA Rams 2019 draft was high on drama. After no less than six trades, the Rams finished the event with eight new players.
Granted, the haul wasn’t quite as impressive as it could have been. The main reason is simple enough: they traded out of the first round again. This was the third consecutive year that the Rams didn’t have a first-round pick.
The crisp, autumn breeze. The scent of chicken wings in the air. The resounding chants of the home crowd echoing into the night.
Yes, folks, that’s football season!
Before you know it, summer days will dwindle. You’ll hang up your swimsuit in exchange for a hoodie with your favorite NFL team’s logo emblazoned on the front.
