Grading the reported Rams and Lions Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff blockbuster trade

The 2021 NFL offseason got off to QUITE a start on Saturday.

Per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams acquired quarterback Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions, shoring up a position that has given them some trouble even while L.A. made a run to the Super Bowl just three seasons ago.

The big surprise? The Lions are getting back Jared Goff, just five years removed from being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, who broke out under Sean McVay in 2018 but who also took big steps back in the past couple of years. Plus, they’re getting some picks!

Who won and lost here? Let’s hand out some grades.
