As Sean McVay prepares to make a first-round pick in the NFL draft for the first time as a head coach, the Los Angeles Rams are setting up shop in a luxurious draft house for this weekend's event.

The Rams unveiled the lavish mansion where they will run their draft with features that include a game room, lounge, pool and covered bar.

Front Office Sports noted the Rams converted a $16.5 million, 9,150-square foot mansion into their war room for the three-day draft.

The Rams have run their draft out of a draft house since 2021, though they referred to last year's location in the San Fernando Valley as a "draft lab."

In addition to McVay and general manager Les Snead, the draft house will typically have celebrity guests. Eric Dickerson, Rebel Wilson, Erin Andrews and Brody Jenner were photographed at the venue in 2021.

Given how guarded teams usually are about the draft, it's refreshing to see a franchise open its doors to turn it into a party.

Of course, that was in past years when the Rams really didn't have to pay attention to what was happening until Day 2.

Assuming the Rams don't trade out of the first round, they will be picking on the first day of the draft for the first time since 2016 when Jared Goff was the No. 1 overall pick.

The Rams' first pick is at No. 19 overall. The highest drafted player by the organization during the McVay era, which began in January 2017, was center Steve Avila with the 36th pick last year.
