The Los Angeles Rams made a trade today! They traded their 2024 fourth-round pick and their 2025 fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for guard Kevin Dotson and their 2024 fifth-round and 2025 sixth-round picks. So who is Kevin Dotson and why did the Rams trade for him?
Dotson, a 25-year-old from Glenville, West Virginia, was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has started 30 games in his career on the O-Line, including 17 games last season. Dotson played for the Steelers O-Line from 2020 to 2022. He is considered to be a solid run blocker and has the potential to be a starter for the Rams.
Why did the Rams trade for Dotson? The Rams are looking to improve their offensive line after losing left tackle Andrew Whitworth to retirement. Dotson is expected to compete for a starting job at guard.
Overall, this could be a good trade for the Rams. He is a good run blocker. The Rams are a run-first team, and Dotson's ability to block in the run game would be valuable. He is young and has room to grow. Dotson is only 25 years old. He has the potential to be a very good guard in the NFL. He is affordable. Dotson is under contract for one more season, and he is due to make $2.5 million in 2023. This is a good value for a starting-caliber guard. Trade grade: A for now.
