I like Marcus Peters quite a bit, but this means the Rams are almost guaranteed not to resign Trumaine Johnson and they're going to have to give up multiple draft picks, so the overall impact isn't as great as just saying they now have Peters on the team.
I think Peters is a tad overrated due to his high INT totals, but isn't anywhere as overrated as is Trumaine Johnson. They just got a lot better at CB by having Peters instead of Johnson, and this is before even considering they couldn't afford to still keep Johnson.
As for the draft capital, right now the Rams don't really need draft picks, they need a way to keep their team in order while their talent gets paid. They now have a superior player (Marcus Peters) for less money over the next two years than they paid an inferior player (Trumaine Johnson) in one year last year.
Any way you slice it I think the Rams got better today.
