I'm disappointed. We overpaid. #29 for McDuffie straight up felt iffy but fair enough to me. Throwing in all the additional picks does not sit well with me. But I guess the good news is we addressed a major need.
"overpaid"? not so sure, jrry -- he not only fits a "position of need" at CB, but he's the exact type of CB the Rams need to help take the D to the next level. Because our rush is so good, QBs take lots of shorter throws to WRs, TEs & RBs -- and it killed us last year. Enter McDuffie, an All-Pro CB / Star who excels in the slot role. I've been table pounding for a speedy "coverage" ILB in the draft, but McDuffie helps solve that problem. (still think we need one tho lol)
and as other posters already pointed out, the point value we've given up equates to #20 / #21 overall, so not much loss here -- heck, one of last year's 5th rounders was cut & our 4th rounder (J.Hunter) literally didn't play one snap last year.
I think the biggest "overpay" will be the contract renegotiation... gotta make some tough decisions now that this kid is on the team.
 
Rams and Seahawks were tied at the top with Superbowl 61 odds. That was before the trade. Now the Rams stand alone as favorites to win the next Superbowl.

 
I would LOVE to have one of those running backs...

See someone gets what I was saying about Snead and his trading. Not that I don't like the player, the trade, just not a fan of how he offers too much. Chiefs were smart to extract that 3rd from us. That's the only part I'm not a fan of. However with all that said, it doesn't matter lol..... Welcome to the Rams McDuffie! You better ball out for us!
I love the move. But Snead always overpays for acquisitions and gets too little in return for his own players. The day he fleeces a team in a trade I'll be shocked and overjoyed.

Luckily for you the Rams can't help themselves and draft one every year. ;)
Sometimes it actually works pretty good.
Williams and Corum.
I'm still waiting to see Jarquez Hunter get a start or at least a few carries a game.
I've almost forgotten what breakaway speed looks like in our backs.
You might find me fainted in my living room if we broke one for 25 yards. :)

His trade with the Falcons last year got their entire coaching staff fired…


Lions still haven’t won a Super Bowl…


I guess it depends on your definition of fleeced
 
Does this mean Delane is likely gone at 9 to the Chiefs?
This is an interesting conversation post trade, since the Rams are still sitting at #13 only four picks behind them.

Chiefs needs and strategy pivoting? Many mocks had them taking Love the RB.

Staying on track for Love makes the most sense IMO. Can still get a CB at 29 and can even trade up from there if they want or trade up from either spot I guess.
 
Giants were in on him apparently
Yeah a couple tweets have been posted since I said that. Sounds like the Giants didn't want to give a 1st round equivalent. They obviously weren't going to trade #5 but a 2nd plus must have been to much for Harbaugh.
