Best and worst trade of 2021-22 season

[El Guapo]

I haven't watched a Denver game in a while, but did hear some talking heads discussing the trade. The consensus is that most of us remember the Von Miller of several years ago. According to them, that man is gone. He's still good but not a difference maker. He should still help out the Rams.

The thing they also discussed about the Ram's 2022 draft, is that while they lost all of their top picks they will gain 3-4 compensatory picks which should end up alright in the end (not ideal, but alright).

Per: https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-draft-compensatory-pick-projections-for-every-team
"Projected compensatory picks: One apiece in Rounds 3 and 4; three in Round 6.
Key free-agent losses: John Johnson (Browns), Samson Ebukam (49ers), Gerald Everett (Seahawks), Troy Hill (Browns), Morgan Fox (Panthers).
Key free-agent additions: None.

Comp-pick analysis: Much to get through here. The Rams lost five qualifying players and signed none, so they would be in line for five picks. However, teams are awarded a maximum of four compensatory picks per year, so they receive picks for Johnson, Ebukam, Everett and Hill. But the rule for third-round compensatory picks for minority head-coaching or general manager hiring is independent from standard comp pick rules. This means the Rams will receive the maximum picks (four) plus an additional special compensatory pick (Brad Holmes hired as Lions GM) for a grand total of five."
