Rams Trade for McDuffie, Escalating NFC West Race

0:00On March 4, the Los Angeles Rams just made a massive move in the NFC West Arms race by trading for cornerback Trent McDuffy from the Kansas City. Chiefs, this comes as the Seattle Seahawks shift from Hunters to the Hunted after their Super Bowl 60 victory last season. The deal ramps up competition in the division heading into the New League year. The Rams sent their 29th overall first round pick this year, plus 5th and 6th round selections in this draft and a 2027. The third rounder to land McDuffy is the second time in his career a team has given up a first rounder for him, first when the Chiefs took him 21st overall in the 20, 22 draft. McDuffy has been a standout since day one, starting all 56 games he's played, earning all pro honors and winning two Super Bowls with Kansas City. Fans and analysts see this as a smart pick up for the Rams. Last season exposed the Rams secondary as a weak spot and McDuffy steps in as an instant boost. He's especially key for slowing down Seattle's star wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba
