Los Angeles Rams projected to make trade with Eagles for former FSU star in 2025 NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is roughly three weeks away as hundreds of stars from the college levels prepare to make their professional football dreams a reality.

After producing ten draft picks last season, Florida State has a chance to see a former Seminole be selected in the first round for the third time in the last four years. Cornerback Azareye'h Thomas has earned plenty of buzz after his showing at the Reese's Senior Bowl, NFL Combine, and FSU's Pro Day.

Thomas is one of the top prospects at his position and depending on how the board shakes out, he could very well hear his name called on the first night of the draft later this month.

Mock drafts and projections are only continuing to pick up as one of the most important weekends of the offseason draws closer and closer.

In a mock draft from USA Today's Nate Davis published on Tuesday, Thomas finds himself landing on the West Coast with a few former teammates from his time at Florida State.

Davis got a little bold, projecting the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles to swap first-round picks. In the trade, the Eagles move up to snag Georgia's Mykel Williams at No. 26 while the Rams grab Thomas at No. 32.

"The reigning NFC West champs have done a fabulous job turning over their roster in the three years since they won Super Bowl 56," Davis wrote." But they could still use some size, youth and reliability at corner, and Thomas (6-2, 197) checks those boxes."

If the move were to happen, Thomas would join Jared Verse and Braden Fiske on the Rams. The trio all played a big part in Florida State winning its first ACC Championship in nine years back in 2023. Former Seminole Keir Thomas also played in garnet and gold.

Thomas chose to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft following his third season at Florida State. In his lone year as a full-time starter, he finished second on the team in tackles while playing nearly 200 more snaps than the next closest defender on the roster. Thomas totaled 52 tackles, two tackles for loss, four pass deflections, and one interception in 12 games.
