If you watch the NFL Draft on Thursday, you'll likely be witnessing history and that's because, for the first time ever, we could see eight teams go through the first round without making a pick.
As things currently stand, there are eight teams that currently do not have a first-round pick this year and if that holds, it would break the record of seven, which has only happened four times ever (1973, 2000, 2019, 2020).
Assuming they don't trade into the first-round, the eight teams sitting out the opening round on Thursday night will be: The Bears, Browns, Broncos, Colts, Dolphins, Raiders, Rams, and 49ers.
The most notable team on this list is the Rams and that's because they've made a habit of sitting out the first round. As a matter of fact, since Sean McVay was hired in 2017, the Rams haven't made a SINGLE first-round pick under his watch. The big reason for that is because Rams general manager Les Snead has been embracing the "F them picks" strategy of trading away first-round picks for proven players who can help the team win now like Jalen Ramsey and Matthew Stafford.
