A late first rounder and a bunch of change. Hate the Rams, but that's a fine trade.

They still have another first too. Stupid Falcons.

Was it their first or Atlanta's they gave up?

If they can draft like John, which they have shown they're capable of doing at times, that isn't chump "change."

1st, a 3rd and 2 more picks? Meh. Massive overpay. F the Rams. F giving them credit for anything. Ever.

I don't know what McDuffie is worth or how much they'll have to pay him but the #29 pick + 'bits' equates in value to the #22 pick. I'm guessing that if the Rams had originally had the #22 pick and they traded that pick alone the reaction here would be slightly different.

The Rams have been doing this exact thing for a decade now, and have been the second-best team in the NFC over that time (Eagles). I'm done questioning them, I just hope their luck finally runs out.

lol Rams got fleeced. McDuffie was good 2 years ago but had a noticeable drop off last year. Crazy amount of draft capital for a dude that is about as good as Nehemiah Pritchett200

The more I look at this trade, the more I think that the Chiefs won that trade. McDuffie's a good player, but he's on the last year of his rookie contract, and now that the Rams have given up a lot to acquire him, they're going to have to give him something like $120 million over 4 years for him. And as good as he is, he's just not going to transform their defense.

Here we go, the beginning of the Rams/Seahawks trade wars, both teams jockeying to win the NFC West and get the #1 seed in the 2027 playoffs. I have the feeling Seahawks will have an announcement to make tomorrow or Friday.

I like McDuffie but that's way too much. I never put any stock into what fans are saying. Most fans are either dumb or batshit crazy. Look no further than .Net :ROFLMAO: Those picks would be much better spent retooling for the next couple years after Stafford so they don't have to "rebuild" as long. I think the Chiefs fleeced them significantly.
