I feel like people are trying to math a way to the Rams losing this trade. They won a Super Bowl, they won the trade. The Lions also won the trade.

It's literally this easy, the rams did not make that move with long term in mind, they wanted to win that year and they did. It worked. Lions wanted to rebuild and it set the rebuild up perfectly. I don't think either side is disappointed with how it's turned out. Rams knew very well this would happen a couple of years after.

This is how trades are literally supposed to work. If you aren't contending for championships right now, trade your aging high-value assets in exchange for pieces to rebuild. If you ARE contending for championships, sell out your future for pieces to win immediately. Worked out perfectly for both sides.
