The Los Angeles Rams need a top cornerback this offseason, and according to reports on Wednesday, they've made such a move in a blockbuster trade.
Trent McDuffie, the All-Pro, 25-year-old cornerback from the Kansas City Chiefs, is coming to join the Rams' defense. But what did the Rams give up to get such a good player?
The Rams are moving a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft for McDuffie, but with two first-rounders, knowing which is headed to the Chiefs is important. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the latter of the two first-rounders is going to KC.
What 1st round pick did Rams give up for Trent McDuffie?
"Full trade, per source: Rams receiver: Trent McDuffie, Chiefs receive: 1st-round pick, No. 29, 5th, 6th, 2027 3rd," Schefter reports.
In this blockbuster trade between the Chiefs and the Rams, Les Snead and Sean McVay are sending the second first-rounder at pick No. 29 to acquire McDuffie.
So, not only do the Rams now have McDuffie on the roster, but they're keeping pick No. 13 to land a premier prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft.

While the price tag is still expensive for McDuffie, in a first-round pick, two Day-3 picks in 2026, and a 2027 third-rounder, it's a much-needed move for the Rams.
McDuffie is an All-Pro cornerback who's helped the Chiefs win two Super Bowls, and has three interceptions, 34 passes defended, 5.5 sacks, 246 tackles, and a passer rating against of just 89.4 in his four-year NFL career.
This is a great addition for the Rams' defense after a rough season from the secondary in 2025. And to make things even better, the Rams still have the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to take a top talent to go all-in for the 2026 season.
