Rams got exactly who they wanted on Day 2 with Max Klare and Keagen Trost

Teams always go into the draft hoping to come away with specific players, ideally without having to trade up. The Los Angeles Rams entered Friday night with the goal of adding a tight end and bolstering the offensive line.

Lo and behold, that’s exactly what they did.

Les Snead said in his press conference after the third round that the Rams went into the day having written down two names: Max Klare at No. 61 and Keagen Trost at No. 93. They nailed both picks, coming away with each player at those exact spots.

Here’s what Snead said when asked whether the Rams anticipated them both being available.

“The board fell our way for us to pick them, but where they were on the board, there was an intentionality there based on talking about the 13-personnel and the versatility that he has and then that the third offensive tackle,” Snead said. “To be honest with you, that was scenario number one that we wrote down tonight is Klare with pick 61 and Trost at 93. We talked about trading back, but we didn't do that. That was scenario one and it worked out for us.”

Klare and Trost may not have been the preferred targets among fans, but the Rams got who they wanted. Klare gives them another receiving threat at tight end, while Trost has the ability to play all across the offensive line.

The fact that the Rams haven’t traded down yet shows they came away with players they were targeting, including Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall.
