Trotter, only a redshirt sophomore, is set to turn 21 in April and was a First-Team All-SEC selection in 2025. Trotter is the son of former NFL linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and is the brother of current Philadelphia Eagles linebacker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nfl\/players\/jeremiah_trotter_jr\/722696\" class=\"yard_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jeremiah Trotter Jr.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Trotter was also named Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year at West Virginia in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>With two first-round picks in hand for the first time in over a decade, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/onsi\/los-angeles-cerebral-assassin-could-take-jared-verse-game-next-level\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rams<\/a> and general manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/onsi\/los-angeles-three-low-risk-quarterbacks-who-could-succeed-matthew-stafford\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Les Snead<\/a> have a lot of prospects to evaluate.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how he\u2019ll prioritize the first-round picks this year without sacrificing preparation for the later round picks in the draft, Snead has his answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don&#8217;t want to do anything so different that now having success in the day three, some of those later picks somehow that process suffers,&#8221; stated Snead. &#8220;What we did change a little bit is once we knew right about where we were going to be picking, there was a group of us that really got in the lab and said let&#8217;s focus on the players that we subjectively think would be in play at what ended up being pick 13.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772166643_920_01kjdv6wm4gmmrqnwkkb.jpg\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Long story short, you can definitely go, \u2018We need 13 players that we would pick at 13.\u2019 Again, that&#8217;s subjective. It&#8217;s not going to be right. It&#8217;s not going to be league wide. Each team&#8217;s different. Once we did know right about where we were going to be picking, a group of us went in the lab and said, \u2018Let&#8217;s make sure we get 13 solved to the 90, to the 95% place in terms of prep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That way we can spend these next few months really doing what we normally do. Now we just have to get Sean and his coaches up to speed. What we&#8217;ll be able to do is let&#8217;s tackle this, let&#8217;s call it threefold. Let&#8217;s tackle 13 first because that&#8217;s a little bit more strategic. Then let&#8217;s go the second pick in the first round, that&#8217;s a little bit harder because you can&#8217;t just go, \u2018Oh, let&#8217;s have 30 or so players.\u2019 Then we&#8217;ll focus on that on those day two and day three picks like we normally do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Never again miss one major story related to your Rams when you sign up for our newsletter that comes straight to your email with the latest news and analysis.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/newsletter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SIGN UP HERE NOW.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WOODLAND HILLS, Ca.
