The Los Angeles Rams have traded early-round picks in exchange for proven, star players in recent years. Even with the team’s aggressive approach to acquiring elite talent, Les Snead revealed that the Rams expect to have 10 total selections in the 2023 NFL draft.

Since the end of the regular season, we’ve known that the Rams will make their first pick in the 2023 NFL draft at pick No. 37. Snead understands that most of the picks will come on Day 3 of the draft, though, Los Angeles has had success adding depth in the later rounds.
“A lot of those picks are going to come on Day 3,” Snead said. “And what we’ve been able to do, if our starting lineups were very competent as a collective, we’ve been able to use those Day 3 picks as relatively competent depth players that come in to partner with those starters when necessary.”
According to Tankathon, the compensatory picks are listed as pick No. 168, 172, 211, and 252. Those four compensatory picks stem from the Rams losing Von Miller, Darious Williams, Austin Corbett, and Sebastian Joseph-Day in free agency last offseason.
With the Rams needing to address a handful of positions this offseason, they’ll have plenty of draft capital to use in this year’s draft.
