The Los Angeles Rams are without a first-round pick at the moment, but they could look to trade-up in the 2020 NFL Draft. Here are some potential targets.

The Los Angeles Rams are one of just six teams around the league without a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, as they traded away the 20th overall pick (and 2021 first-rounder) to the Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey last season. As things stand right now, they won’t be on the clock until the 52nd overall selection and have just six total picks to work with.

While they are certainly in a tough spot in terms of what they have to offer other teams looking to trade back, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Los Angeles Rams use what little draft capital they do have to move up and snag somebody high on their board.

Fortunately for the Rams, they have a mid-second and two third-round picks to bait potential buyers, and history tells us that could be plenty to move up 10 or 15 spots. In fact, the Rams proved this just last season after they traded their 31st overall pick (and a sixth) to the Falcons for a second and a third (45th and 79th overall).

With that in mind, there are plenty of trade scenarios available for them, but the question is who they will target if they do go that route. I’ve highlighted a few key trade-up targets for the Los Angeles Rams if they do decide to make an aggressive move towards the top of the first or bottom of the second.
