Teams go back to the playoffs year after year. That means they are drafting low but are still winning.

The Rams lost their Super-bowl against New England in 2019. In the very next draft just a few months later they were picking at the end of every round. They took the following players who started against us in the Super-bowl they won this year:

2nd Rd Taylor Rapp FS (admittedly this pick came from a trade, not their normal spot selecting)

3rd Rd (comp) Bobby Evans RT

4th Rd Greg Gaines DT

5th Rd David Edwards LG

They also got depth. Here are three players  who were on the roster but not starters:

2nd Rd Darrell Henderson RB

3rd Rd David Long CB

7th Rd Nick Scott S

So yeah, they drafted a lot of pieces while picking low. 7 players who were on their roster against us were drafted after rd 1 in the draft immediately following their SB loss.
