Episode Details

The Los Angeles Rams consider trading down with the Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 NFL draft, potentially acquiring quarterback J.J. McCarthy and a third-round pick. This move would allow the Rams to secure a young backup for Matthew Stafford without sacrificing too much in terms of draft position. McCarthy, who struggled in his previous season with the Vikings, could benefit from sitting behind Stafford and learning under Sean McVay. The Rams history of turning backup busts into starters makes this a promising opportunity. Additionally, the Rams could target a wide receiver in the second round to bolster their passing game. This trade strategy aligns with the Rams approach of balancing immediate success with long-term planning.
