Round 3: Traded to the Broncos own a compensatory pick via Brad Holmes hire The Rams 2022 draft outlook currently looks like this: Adding Miller saps the team of long-term flexibility, too. But rather than jump back into the muddy waters of the draft, they moved Goff and a pair of draft picks to Detroit for Stafford, a known commodity who would help elevate the team’s ceiling. The team knew Jared Goff, their young quarterback, wasn’t good enough. Now the Rams are pushing that logic to its extreme. Such is the way with a hard cap sport: once winning time arrives, you have to cash in. Once the Rams had committed two first-round picks, a fourth-rounder and a mega-money extension to a corner in his prime years, they shifted from a franchise with a medium-term vision into one that had a championship-or-bust mindset. Veterans who have already proven themselves in the league such as Jalen Ramsey, Brandin Cooks, Matthew Stafford, and now Miller have all been acquired for future considerations. Better to burn valuable picks on established players in their prime than take a swing on a couple of college kids who could turn out to be busts, the theory goes.
