If the Rams trade next year's first in some package deal to trade up for Love (which I highly doubt but hey), then it would possibly point to the team leaning towards some potential FA signing at QB when Stafford retires, instead of drafting one.

I agree we may pick Multible OL in this draft. Rounds 6 and 7 are full of possibities.
Cause we have proven we can Coach em up!! i.e.
( Warren McClendon Jr. - Alaric Jackson)
They have four gree agents next year. They may not have time for multi-year 'coach em up' projects.
Don't be surprised to see one early.
Or Stafford told them he wants to play multiple years, maybe until he is 40 or more. So that pushes them to look for a QB2, afterall Stafford is 38. However, the QB2 can still be a guy who they feel can be a QB1 in a few yrs from now. That then still leaves open the possibility for a future FA or high draft pick on search of a QB1 if the development fails if QB2.
So maybe Nussmeier as a more plug & play QB2, or a Taylen Green as a project with great tools.
It said 4 trades and I mention pick 6 or 7. I guess I should have explained what to look for.
Hopefully high picks, most important unit on a football team.

Well we have issues after this next season with 3 starting O linemen set for big contracts in McClendon, Avila, and Dotson. Fano can Play either Guard or Tackle. Mauigoa can also play Guard or Tackle. Ioane also makes sense since both Avila and Dotson will be due big contracts after this season and it's unlikely we keep both.
Having mused on the issue though I can't see Snead going O Line with the 13th pick. Even if we don't sign both Dotson and Avila or either of them for that matter we've historically found our O line talent later in the draft. With development and good coaching we've put together a very strong starting five. Highest pick we've used was a 2nd rounder for Avila. Both Dotson and McClendon were 5th round picks pretty much, (Dotson trade had us sending a 4th and 5th for a 5th and 6th). Shelton free agent and Jackson rookie free agent.
Still I have no idea What Snead is thinking but O Line that high seems dubious at this point.

Just take the Quarterback at 13. And solve the most important position on the field for the next 10 years.
