Half of the Players on the Rams' Roster Are "F Them Picks" Era Selections

[AvengerRam]

The Rams have not had a first round pick since 2016, and they've traded several Day 2 picks as well in the last 6 drafts.

Nonetheless, 26 of the Rams' 53 players currently on the roster are selections from this "F Them Picks" Era. Here's the breakdown:

2022: 4 players (plus 3 on reserve status)
2021: 5 players (plus 1 on reserve status)
2020: 7 players
2019: 7 players
2018: 2 players (plus 1 on reserve status)
2017: 1 player

Among these draftees are 14 starters/primary rotation players: Cooper Kupp, Joseph Noteboom, Brian Allen, Taylor Rapp, Darryl Henderson, David Long, Greg Gaines, David Edwards, Nick Scott, Cam Akers, Van Jefferson, Terrell Lewis, Jordan Fuller and Ernest Jones.

Pretty impressive.

That's the secret sauce

A good dish has many important ingredients, but to stand out from the competition, you need that secret recipe that no one else can reproduce.
For the Rams, Aaron Donald and Sean McVay are main ingredients... but our secret sauce is in our ability to identify and develop quality NFL starters without needing high picks to do it.

You know guys - it was widely known that Kroenke wanted to build a franchise in the (hated) patriot mold.

Say (think) what you want, Pats always had depth, and obviously good coaching.

We did (are doing) it.

And it’s fucking awesome, because even if (when) McVay leaves, the organization was built correctly, and will
abide.

That is all.
