Despite trading for Trent McDuffie, the Rams still have a need at cornerback, especially on the boundary.
Watson is coming off a career year in 2025 with two interceptions and allowed just a 69 passer rating when targeted. He is still an ascending player who has been a key piece to two Super Bowl teams for the Chiefs.
Now in Los Angeles, Watson will step in as a starter on the Rams' defense and provide solid play as their potential No. 1 corner. The team's secondary was a weakness in 2025, but it should be a strength in 2026.
