The key with trading future first round picks is whether the team trading the picks win as expected.
The Rams traded a total of four #1s to acquire Ramsey and Stafford. The first three of those picks have been 20th overall in 2020, 25th overall in 2021 and 32nd overall in 2022. If the Rams have another good season, their 2023 #1 (held by the Lions) will also be in the bottom-third of the first round.
When Seattle traded two future #1s to the Jets for Jamal Adams, its brain-trust probably did not expect those picks to be high first rounders. In 2021, it was the 23rd overall. However, this year it was the 10th overall.
The round is important but WHERE in the round is also important. I wish the Rams could have re-signed Miller but they ultimately gave-up two very-late-round draft choices in Rounds Two and Three ... the 64th and 96th overall picks ... for a player that I believe was critical in them winning a Lombardi.
I will gladly take that cost every-time!
