5 trades the Rams could make to move down in Round 1

Trading back is in Les Snead's DNA. The Los Angeles Rams general manager loves moving down the board to recoup picks, which help round out the roster each season.

Don't get it twisted: He often moves up for players, too. But as we've seen throughout his tenure, his preference is to stockpile picks.

Holding the 13th overall pick, the Rams are in position to either draft a top prospect or move down and add more capital – while still securing a first-rounder. Those options put them in a great spot, especially if a prospect that other teams covet falls to No. 13.

Using the Rich Hill trade value chart, here are five potential trade-down scenarios for the Rams in the first round.

Trade with Lions for No. 17

• Rams trade: No. 13 (336 points)
• Lions trade: Nos. 17 + 118 + 157 (331 points)

This would be a modest trade back but even in doing so, the Rams would add two crucial picks: one in the fourth and one in the fifth. Fittingly, those are the only two rounds the Rams don't have any picks in.

This deal would bridge the gap between No. 93 and 207 nicely, giving the Rams some ammo for the middle rounds if there are prospects they like outside the top 100.

Trade with Vikings for No. 18

• Rams trade: No. 13 (336 points)
• Vikings trade: Nos. 18 + 82 (341 points)

For trading back just five spots, the Rams could recoup a third-round pick from the Vikings. Minnesota has nine total picks in the draft, which is plenty, allowing interim GM Rob Brzezinski to move around the board in his first draft at the helm. Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman has been linked to the Vikings often so maybe they'll want to ensure they get him by trading up.

Trade with Steelers for No. 21

• Rams trade: No. 13 (336 points)
