The Super Bowl champs have pulled off a trade with the team they defeated. ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry tweets that the Rams have acquired No. 134 and No. 243 from the Patriots. New England will receive No. 162 and No. 167.
The Rams used the pick to select Washington defensive tackle Greg Gaines. The 2018 Morris Trophy winner finished last season with career-highs in tackles (55) and sacks (3.5). The six-foot-two, 316-pound lineman should provide the Rams with a player who they can immediately insert in their defensive-line rotation.
