The Los Angeles Rams just got a major upgrade at quarterback.

The Rams traded for Matthew Stafford on Saturday. They are paying a price, however. In return for Stafford, the Rams are sending the Detroit Lions Jared Goff, two first-round picks and a third-round pick.

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero shared details on what years the picks will be:

The real big haul for the Lions are the two first-round picks, which they need to turn into something good. Goff had his moments under Sean McVay but has proven to be mediocre and probably will see a big drop in play without the support of the offensive-minded coach. However, the Lions’ front office is now headed by former Rams members who believe in Goff, which helps explain the trade.
