One team is reportedly trying to make a big move to get into the top ten of the NFL Draft on Thursday.
The Los Angeles Rams are making calls to try to move into the top ten, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. It is unclear who they may be trying to target with such a move.
The Rams, who haven't picked in the first round since 2016, are calling to get into the top 10, per sources.

The Rams have not had a first-round pick since 2016 due to their numerous trades, and it stands to reason they would be giving up more future picks if they were able to pull off a move like this. They would be moving up from No. 19 if they did manage to pull off a deal.
Who the Rams might be moving up for is another question entirely. They are a team that is never shy about adding offensive weapons, but with Aaron Donald’s retirement, they could also seek some help in the trenches. They would have to move up in order to have a chance at landing one of the best options, though.
