The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jaguars will receive first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 and a 2021 fourth-rounder. The move comes on the same day the Rams traded Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Rams capitalized on the situation to make a significant upgrade to their secondary. Ramsey finished with 65 combined tackles, 13 passes defended and three interceptions in 2018. Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 15th-best player in the NFL entering 2019. Through six weeks this year, he has 17 combined tackles and one pass defended. Ramsey is likely to face an adjustment period as he learns Los Angeles' defense on the fly and builds a rapport with his new teammates. Within a few games, he should be comfortable enough to perform like one of the league's top cornerbacks. Looking further forward, Ramsey's contract situation will now be the Rams' concern. Clearly the front office wants him to make an immediate impact, but one would expect general manager Les Snead to view him as a contributor beyond 2020 as well. The idea of the Rams making a play for Ramsey gained steam when dealt Peters. Los Angeles had just placed Aqib Talib on injured reserve, so the team had a clear need for a proven cornerback. In general, the 2019 season hasn't gone according to plan for the reigning NFC champions. They're 3-3 and third in the NFC West. The offense has arguably been a bigger reason for the team's on-field struggles, with Jared Goff's four-year, $134 million extension looking regrettable before it even goes into effect. Snead had few realistic options to address the offense's biggest problems, though, so it makes sense to load up on defense to compensate.

Great trade for the Jags. Just wondering how Ramsey is going to help Goff play better??

Yeah Ramsey is a good player but the Rams need O-Line help, bad. I wonder how high the asking price was on Trent Williams that made them decide to go this route? We'll find out soon once he gets dealt.
Ramsey is a great player for sure, but that's a pretty penny they spent.

Yeah unless they find two or three more Ramsey quality players, the Lambs are going to struggle.  But the Jags made out like a bandit.

This has to be the biggest WTF of the year and that says a lot in a league with Danny snyder and the browns organization.

I think the Steelers trading their 1st to Miami for a CB after they lost Big Ben for the year still ranks as biggest WTF.   They like Mason Rudolph that much?

Big ben is at the end of his wind up,  if they dont have his replacement in house already they are ignoring the obvious as bad as spielman has ignored shit here in minny.  They may be wrong on their guy,  but if they thought they had their replacement in house the move isnt that outrageous.  IMO this still trumps that move. 

( can I use trump in this context without sparking a political shit mess? )  :p

The Rams are really robbing themselves of acquiring cheap young talent by trading all there early draft picks.

It'll be interesting to see if they can stay relevant after this season...  at some point their core is going to get old and they won't have any young guys on the rise to replace them.

so they gave up a 2019 2nd and 4th for Peters.  They got a reserve LB for Peters. 

They gave up a 2021 5th for the center from the Browns.
Now a 1st in 2020 and 2021 and a 4th in 2021. 

This is reaching Herchel Walker type stuff.

Rams are screwed, super dumb trade giving up first round picks 2 years in a row.

Their biggest issue is O-line:

They lost Roger Saffold.  LT Whitworth is at end of his career at 37.

It looks like the moves of a team that thinks they are definitely superbowl bound.

The problem here is their o-line isn't the same.  Have they just gone full Thelma & Louise with this Ramsey trade?

I'm thinking if this gambit doesn't pay off, they could be stewing in mediocrity for the next... 3 years? while they are forced to drop premium players and scour waivers for o-line talent like the vikes did for the last 5-10 years.

What if they go a cowboy-esque 8-8?  Ramsey will hate it and want out so he can 'win' somewhere else.  I'm wary of elite players who demand trades, in general.
