Rams acquiring Trent McDuffie

[SoulfishHawk]

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.

They were HANDED their last SB. F them.
Can't wait to see this trade fail. They got fleeced. Rams watched us on TV. We didn't need the refs to hand us a SB birth. We kicked the Rams in the teeth.

Is McDuffie... McVay's answer to stopping JSN??

Let them make those trades, we just need to sign our guys and draft a few. The window is closing in LA again and desperate measures like rule changes, trades that could be looked at as reaches or over paying to counter us. Good thing Mac is already playing his game before McVag has seen the chess board.

Hawks are the champs.
Hawks are the better team.


Meh

On the other hand, I suppose this takes them out of the Woolen market. Overpaying for Woolen would have been the ideal scenario,

I doubt they wanted him

 

[Natethegreat]

That’s an awful move by Les Snead. That’s too much draft capital and now you got to pay him he’s not on a rookie deal.

I don't think they care about having to pay a really good player. It obviously makes their defense better.

I like the trade for the Rams. They keep that roster talented via coaching and developing fringe players into good role starters. It makes sense to trade for premium talents at spots of need when you can keep the roster at playoff contention caliber with cheap, renewable talent.

That's what great development from the coaching staff does for a team. Frees them up to take shots.

And make no mistake, they've GOT to take shots if they wanna dethrone a team that now has the same advantage in terms of league-leading coaching and front office staff, who just happens to be their division rival who spanked them twice on the way to the Super Bowl.

If the Rams dont want the Santa Clara treatment of seeing Seattle take over their home locker room and hoist a Lombardi on their home turf, they need some more talent and they need it pronto.

Really do love this move for them. It aint gonna be enough, but I think it's smart. Especially when they're still holding Atlanta's much-better top pick.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh, overpay.

 

[CouchLogic]

Hilarious, this team is a wreck since that OT loss.

 

[AROS]

This trade is definitely a reaction to the year JSN had. What's their next move, signing Shaheed?

You shut your whore mouth.

Sure, but Darnold toyed with that defense. Twice!!! I just can’t roll the dice with that much draft capital tbh that’s bad business. McDuffie isn’t a generational talent. He’s good but so is Josh Jobe. KC fans are ecstatic

 

[Cyrus12]

Big overpay. This more about rebuilding the Chiefs legacy.

 

[Seahawker]

Yes!! This is their desperate attempt to neutralize JSN. That's a steep price
They must have seen #29 as a 2nd, a 3rd and two day 3 picks, but the cost against the cap.
Loading up for one last shot with Stafford and the SB being played in their house.

This trade brings back memories of when the seahawks traded for jamal adams. gave up way too much and it was flashy for a season but then didn't end up paying the dividends in the end.

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

Tyreek Hill went for only a little more.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

You shut your whore mouth.

I thought we need to keep politics out of it

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

Scariest thing a team can do with their picks is keep them and nail their selections.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

F the Rams. F giving them credit for anything.

They got fleeced, and it's hilarious.

 

[hawks85]

4 drafts picks for Mcduffie? WTF are they thinking.

 

[FrodosFinger]

4 drafts picks for Mcduffie? WTF are they thinking.

Right? Brings back memories of the Wilson and Herschel Walker trade. Rams got embarrassingly fleeced
