ESPN NFL on L'Jarius Sneed
From the article
The Rams gave up first-, third-, fifth- and sixth-round picks to acquire McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs, then signed him to a four-year, $124 million contract, fortifying the secondary for years to come.
STACKED’s take
Ranked 5th; Rams traded four picks and $124M; 6.2 yards per target (10th-best).
Sneed ranks fifth in the 2026 cornerback rankings at age 25, holding a top-five spot for the second consecutive year. Despite his 5-foot-11 size, some evaluators view him as more than a slot corner; he was an outside corner for 500 snaps last season. An NFC scout called him 'One of the top coverage corners in the league' who 'can cover in the perimeter or the slot, can play man or zone, can pressure the quarterback, can play Cover 2 well and can jam and re-route. [He] has plus zone vision.' The Rams gave up first-, third-, fifth- and sixth-round picks to acquire Sneed from Kansas City, then signed him to a four-year, $124 million contract. Over the past four years, his 6.2 yards per target ranks 10th-fewest among corners, and an NFL coordinator noted he's an 'Outstanding open-field tackler' who 'You're going to have to beat him because he won't beat himself.'
