Back to EpisodesRams Trade for McCarthy: Draft Savvy, QB Hunger
Description
The Los Angeles Rams are considering a strategic trade to acquire Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy during the 2026 NFL Draft. In a mock scenario, the Rams would trade their thirteenth overall pick to the Vikings for the eighteenth pick, the ninety-seventh pick, and McCarthy himself. This move would allow the Rams to stockpile draft picks and test a young quarterback with NFL experience, while their current backup options dwindle. The trade is seen as low-risk and genius, given head coach Sean McVays track record of reviving quarterbacks. It also aligns with the Rams all-in push for the current season without sacrificing future assets.
