Rams have a first

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The most recent time the Los Angeles Rams made a first-round pick in the NFL draft, Sean McVay was Washington’s offensive coordinator and Puka Nacua was a high school freshman.
That was way back in 2016, just after the Rams moved back home to Los Angeles from St. Louis. General manager Les Snead’s team was nothing special at that time following 12 consecutive non-winning seasons, and the Rams decided they needed to make a big splash in Hollywood by trading up for Jared Goff.
Boldly adding a solid quarterback — and eventually trading that quarterback for Matthew Stafford — put McVay in position to lead the Rams back from irrelevance and into near-annual playoff contention. They’ve racked up six winning seasons, five playoff berths, three NFC West titles, two Super Bowl appearances and one championship since the most recent time they picked in the first round.
