People who complain that the Rams should’ve sent the Chiefs their 2nd round pick, please do remember that their 2nd rd pick was a late second round pick, so the Chiefs in no way would’ve chosen to do that. Plus their 29th pick was only 4 picks away from being in the 2nd rd.

Lol....Damn bro, just respond to my post. I'm the only one saying anything about the 2nd (unless I missed it which is always possible). I also said or don't include the 3rd. I get why we made the trade, love the player, love the aggressive move to improve, just think its an overpay that didn't need to happen to acquire the player.

I don't agree with that my friend.

The Rams' 2nd is the 61st overall pick.
I believe the 5th is in the late-160s and the 6th is in the low-200s.
The 2027 third round pock will probably be in the upper-80s or 90s.

I think Kansas City could have done a lot better than that with a number of other trade partners.

For example, the dopey Jets have four picks in the top-45, and need a CB ... and have a ton of cap space.
The Jets could have offered the 44th overall pick for McDuffie, and that would have probably exceeded the above suggestion of the Rams' Second Round pick, plus the other (lesser) compensation being enough.

Just don't see how the Rams very-late 2nd Round pick would have gotten a deal done.

100%

If you do the math from a trade/point persepctive all of the picks equate to around the 25th pick (minus the 3rd rounder next year)
If you take the 29th and move it to the 2nd round, it's not anywhere near the same.

Now what I'm curious about now is how this shapes the rest of the FA period and what we do with the 13th pick.
This trade gives us so many options now.
However, if he does sign a long term deal at a projected 30M a year, that does change things for free agency/CAP depending on the type of deal signed.

I just have to laugh at the overpay comments. This guy was a 1st team All Pro. He was one of the 2 best CB in the NFL. And we got him for less than we gave up for Ramsey. Absolutely comical.

Let's look at it this way. Last years 1st and the 4 picks for this got us Ferguson, McDuffie and pick 13. Unless I'm missing something this is a huge win.

Yeah FA gonna be interesting as hell. Are the Rams going to go get another CB to lock down that room? I think its definitely a possibility as Snead was talking about going into the draft with pretty much no glaring weaknesses. We are in for a treat
