Analyst urges Rams to trade 3rd-rounder (2027) and 5th-rounder (2028) for Thomas Jr.'s vertical routes.

Ted Nguyen of The Athletic suggests the Rams should trade for Brian Thomas Jr. to help swing Super Bowl odds in their favor. Nguyen proposes sending the Jacksonville Jaguars a third-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round pick in 2028 in exchange for the one-time Pro Bowler. Nguyen argues Thomas Jr.'s vertical route tree would complement Puka Nacua, and criticizes the Rams for taking QB Ty Simpson at 13th overall when a receiver would have been the better option given Davante Adams' age (33) and injury history and Nacua's injury and off-field issues.
