You’ve seen the data.

Trade down and hopefully get a 2nd out of it, unless Dart or Shough are still there then I gotta give it some thought

Grab best CB available with first pick... if there's someone they truly believe in and they drop within 10 picks I'm ok with trading up for him. If there's no one there that they are enamored with then trade down and start drafting BPA.

Honestly, I don't really care. We're in a really good spot roster wise and just need to shore up depth and maybe a starter or two if possible. They've nailed the last several drafts so as long as they keep doing what they've been doing I'm fine with how they do it.
 
Voted STAY because I believe it's the most realistic.
Think more teams will want to trade-down than up; and that will make it more difficult to trade-down.

Have about eighteen prospects that I believe will be selected before #26, so I took them off-the-list.

That left me with six player-targets that may (or should) be available at #26.

Jahdae Barron ... would love him for the Defensive Backfield ... don't think he will be available
Carson Schwesinger ... think he would be a terrific up-grade but don't see the Rams drafting an ILB high
Josh Simmons ... if the medicals check-out ... not a 2025 starter but fills a gapping hole as a 3rd-OT

WR ... last year I pushed for the Rams to sign a veteran free agent WR (like a Hunter Renfrow) for one reason.
I posted that there was no way Kupp and Nacua would each play 17 games; and the absence of either would greatly hurt the Offense. By the second game, BOTH were injured.

For the exact same reason (without either Adams or Nacua for any length of time, the Offense would suffer), my final three prospects at #26 are Wide Receivers ...
Matthew Golden, Emeka Egbuka and Luther Burden

CB and ILBer seems like the rooms that need the most immediate attention with the draft coming up.

I’ll get roasted if I vote trade up for Jeanty so…

Trade down, get a 2nd and 4th.
Draft best offensive players available. We’re still weak at TE, thin at WR and average at RB.

Third option is stay put and draft BPA. Probably OT or CB at #26. It’s solid strategy but isn’t going to move the needle offensively this year.

Trade down. But only if it results in an extra day 2 pick. We're set with a roster built to contend as is. Extra day 2 picks can help keep the roster competitive over the next few years.

I voted trade down, unless Loveland or Barron happens to fall to us. I'm also warming up to the idea of Mykel Williams falling to us. He is already a high end run stopper, which would be a good upgrade for us, but also has a very high ceiling.

In the trade down, take one of the remaining: Revel, Hairston, J.Campbell (injury likely drops him), Burden, Arroyo, Pearce Jr, M.Taylor. There are just so many good options in the top half of the 2nd round.

Trade #26 overall and #101 overall to the Chicago Bears for #39 overall and #41 overall. Take Quinshon Judkins and Luther Burden III with those picks.

Profit.

That would be a solid move and start to the draft.

I think you get more value in trading down for a mid to high 2nd rd and a forth rd.
From what I have read not a lot of difference in player value from 26th to 40ish pick.

Been watching video on Mason Taylor TE lSU after hearing Daniel Jeremiah talk about him.
I would be very happy to get him in second. This is the year to get that difference making TE.
