Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers
Los Angeles Rams received Joe Krupa in the exchange with Pittsburgh Steelers. Joe Krupa had been a regular Pittsburgh starter before the move, but his Rams tenure did not produce a durable return. Los Angeles added an experienced defensive tackle, yet the acquisition did not develop into a meaningful long-term win. In hindsight, that direct outcome supports a C grade for Los Angeles Rams. The judgment focuses on what this transaction itself produced rather than unrelated later moves.
