  • Chiefs get Rams’ 2nd first, 5th and 6th-round picks (this draft).
  • Rams acquire All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie in multi-pick trade.
  • Teams intensify trade talks pre-draft as NFL draft nears April 23-25.

Rams general manager Les Snead met with reporters on Tuesday and mentioned how teams are frequently engaged in trade talks at this time of year.

“This is usually the most intense time, and probably even more intense than right there at the trade deadline during the season,” Snead said in a Zoom call.

Snead also spoke about moves to help the Rams’ secondary, and well, he did that Wednesday. The Chiefs are sending All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Rams for four draft picks.

The Chiefs are receiving the second of the Rams’ two first-round picks in this year’s draft, along with fifth- and sixth-round picks. L.A. is also sending a third-round pick in next year’s draft to the Chiefs.
