Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Detroit Lions acquired Greg Robinson from Los Angeles Rams for 2018 6th round pick (194th overall subsequently traded, Russell Gage). The overall result favors Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams over Detroit Lions.
Trade 2 of 2
Atlanta sent the Rams picks No. 244 and No. 256 to move up to No. 194 and select wide receiver Russell Gage. Atlanta moved up for Russell Gage, who developed from a sixth-round special-teams prospect into a productive receiver and eventually posted consecutive 700-yard seasons. The Rams selected Justin Lawler at No. 244 and moved No. 256 in another trade. Lawler provided depth, but Gage generated far more offensive production and became a meaningful part of Atlanta's passing game.
