Green Bay acquired punter Corey Bojorquez and a 2023 seventh-round pick from the Rams for a 2023 sixth-round pick. The later selections became No. 235 and No. 191 before additional movement; Green Bay eventually used 235 on running back Lew Nichols. The recorded outcome favors the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams side only to the degree reflected by the grades, with the long-term result driven by what the acquired players and picks actually produced.

Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
Green Bay acquired punter Corey Bojorquez and a 2023 seventh-round pick from the Rams for a 2023 sixth-round pick. The later selections became No. 235 and No. 191 before additional movement; Green Bay eventually used 235 on running back Lew Nichols. The package matters as recorded at the moment of the transaction, while later pick movement is treated as downstream value rather than a different original return. That distinction keeps the historical accounting tied to what each club actually agreed to exchange.
Why the Value Separated
The Packers received a starting punter for the 2021 season and paid by moving down roughly one round two drafts later. Los Angeles, already settled at punter, converted roster surplus into a better future pick. Both sides accomplished a sensible roster-management objective. The verdict therefore weighs realized NFL contribution, the quality of the draft capital, and the opportunity cost of giving up the outgoing asset. It does not assume that a higher draft slot automatically wins if the selected player failed to create comparable value.
How the Deal Aged
Bojorquez was useful for Green Bay but stayed only one season. The Rams' sixth-rounder retained more trade value than the seventh they sent away and was later moved again. That modest draft-capital upgrade gives Los Angeles a small long-term edge without making Green Bay's decision poor. Looking at the complete arc also prevents a short-term reaction from becoming the final judgment. Subsequent roster moves matter when they directly trace to an acquired pick, but they are not credited as though the original club selected every downstream player itself.
Final Verdict
Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win remains a slight verdict. The Rams improved future draft position for a player they did not need, while Green Bay received legitimate short-term punting value at an affordable cost. The grades remain B for Green Bay Packers and B+ for Los Angeles Rams, matching the balance of immediate return, downstream value, and sustained contribution.
