Rams receive: this years number 1 pick from Titans

Titans receive: 2016 1st round pick, two 2016 second round picks, 2017 first round pick

Had no idea there was a talent on this draft worth all that

Wow... I really can't decide whether it is Wentz or Goff. Has to be to get Wentz away from Cleveland. I think SD or Dallas would have took a deal in a second and Goff would have likely still been there. Maybe the Titans can send out all those picks as captains in a couple of years against the Rams. Haha.

There isnt. But they way HC and GM's are fired so quickly this is an all or nothing move.

If the Rams land their franchise quarterback and he becomes an elite option that helps them become a legitimate Super Bowl contender, and perhaps leads them to a Super Bowl victory, then the price they paid will have been worth it. However, they have paid a steep price and if it goes wrong this will hurt them. But I guess they believe that Goff or Wentz is a special talent to take them to that next level, and with Fisher on a hot seat (let's face it, he should be after four seasons under .500) and their GM on a heat seat, maybe they needed this deal to give them a chance of keeping their jobs long term if the QB they select pans out.

I love it because it pushes Ramsey and Jack probably out of the top 3 and into trade up territory.

We're all here because we're all not there.

Rams kind of had to really. Cannot go into LA with Case Keenum the appointed starter. Won't really change us though. If we really wanted Ramsey or jack we would still be at 8. Wentz going first won't ripple much of the top imo.

St. Louis got 3 first round picks, a second round pick, and one of those 1st round picks turned out to be the 2nd overall selection.
