Alot of Posters want Byron Murphy II but the Rams may want him more.
They could Trade Up in front of the Bengals for him to replace Aaron Donald.
The Rams have the 19th overall pick, one 2nd round pick, two 3rd round picks, two 5th round picks, 4 six round picks & a 7th round pick.
They could easily Jump in front of the Bengals who have pick #18 to take DT Byron Murphy II.
The Bengals 4th round pick may be enough to use in a Trade to get up 3 spots & make sure they get a Targeted Player.
In 2023 the Steelers & Patriots made this Trade. The Steelers went up for Broderick Jones OT.
New England traded a first-round selection (14th) to Pittsburgh in exchange for first- and fourth-round selections (17th and 120th overall)
Compare to Bengals give #18 & #115 to go up to #15.
Players like JC Latham, Fuaga, Byron Murphy II, Bowers, Arnold, Mitchell etc may still be there at pick #15 but may not be at pick #18.
Options may thin out by pick #18 and the Bengals may want to make sure they get a certain player versus just sitting at pick #18.
Something to consider... Leap forward a few picks or maybe get Leap Frogged.
I am big in the Murphy camp, but certain someone coveted will fall to the Bengals at 18.
Someone unexpected that can help the team will be there.
Maybe the Rams do not prize Murphy as much as the Bengals do and would be happy with Newton and therefore can sit pat or even trade back?
It will definitely be a fun draft night!
