Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

The Rams moved down two spots in the 1997 second round, sending No. 38 to Chicago for No. 40 and a sixth-round pick. St. Louis selected cornerback Dexter McCleon at No. 40, and he became a long-term starter who played 148 NFL games and won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Chicago selected John Allred, whose career was far more limited.
