The big trades and backroom deals are part of what makes the NFL draft so much fun. The St. Louis Rams are one team that will almost certainly be exploring trade possibilities.
For one, general manager Les Snead is a natural dealer. He was the Atlanta Falcons' director of player personnel when Atlanta made the big trade to acquire Julio Jones. He also masterminded the RGIII trade—a deal that sent St. Louis' No. 2 overall pick in 2012 to Washington in exchange for three first-round selections and one second-round pick.
Snead has also been behind a number of smaller deals during his time in St. Louis. Trading up from No. 16 to No. 8 overall to grab receiver Tavon Austin is one example.
He can't help himself. Sometimes that's a good thing, other times not so much. Either way, you better surrender to the fact that the Rams will be making deals on draft day.
This article will highlight several potential trades that could gain momentum when the draft kicks off.
