Rams Trade For #1 Pick

[Chin Diesel]

Tennessee gets a boat load of picks. Tennessee's path has generally been more successful than the Rams. Load up with picks and hope most of them are good.

Rams are going with the Hail Mary.

Los Angeles Rams get top pick in NFL draft after blockbuster trade with Tennessee Titans

In exchange for the top pick, the Titans receive the Rams’ original first-round pick at 15th overall, two second-rounders (43rd and 45th overall) and a third-round selection (76th). The Titans will also get the Rams’ first- and third-round selections in next year’s draft

This makes no sense. There is no gotta gave player in this draft. Certainly not a QB. At least the Hershel Walker trade netted the Vikings Herchel Walker.

It makes a ton of sense for Tennessee. Being able to acquire that many picks in a draft when there isn't any consensus game changing prospect? Do that 10 out of 10 times.

 

[SubbaBub]

I thought that part was obvious.

The Titans now H ave the following picks in the 2016 draft:
15, 33, 43, 45, 64, 76, 140, 193, 222

The 2017 #1 they got from the Rams could be a Top 10...possibly Top 5 pick next year.

As long as they make good picks they can literally set this team up for a long time.

 

[noeynox]

Wow. Who is the projected top pick in the draft?

Sounds like they are going after a QB with either Goff or Wentz being the pick

 

[HuskyHawk]

Wow. Pretty stupid by the Rams. Who do they want? Hopefully not a QB, as neither is close to being the first pick.

As a Rams fan #1 pick is excellent, in this draft however I'm not sure it matters.

I think the Rams, now that they will be in the L.A. market, are banking on spending some serious coin while making serious coin with fans filling up the seats... Only problem is if you don't win, the fan's won't come... Could very well be a down year for them next year with a new QB in place....

Spaghetti on the wall strategy. Only have about a 50% chance of a 1st rounder having an impact. More picks means more chances for success. The rest can be released or used for future trades.

It has to be one of the QBs. They must see franchise in one of them...and I am guessing Wentz. I can't imagine giving up that many picks to get an OL.

I'm curious to see what the Titans do. I can easily see them trading back into the top ten for one of the top two tackles with a team like 49ers, who now seem to be SOL because they won't be getting Wentz or Goff, who they really seemed to have their heart set on. That team should be working the phones like crazy to trade down after the TEN-LA trade.

Stuck the only thing about spending serious coin..is every team in the league gets the same amount to spend. To me it seems guys choose teams that have stable ownership/coaching situations. Fisher seems to be a good guy...Kroenke not so much.

If they call Jerry Reese and offer 15,33 for the Giants pick at 10...you take that in a minute.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

This has the stinch of Jeff Fisher...or Fish Stank..all over it.

Can't recall a coach who gets so much love for doing so little.

Monumentally stupid, no matter who it is.

They thought that about Sam Bradford too...that team is a disaster!

Unless they actually get a franchise QB out of it. But with the information and risk right now, I agree with you.

 

[Adios]

This move actually probably prevents the 49ers from grabbing a QB in the first round.

Maybe they will luck out and get Paxton Lynch in the 2nd. I think that kid will turn into a pretty decent pro QB

Our beloved AAC would certainly benefit if he does do well.

In the 2nd? I thought Lynch was pretty certainly going to be a 1st rounder

 

[primus74]

Maybe they won't like the QB's and just draft Vontae Mack.

San Fran picks 7th...if they need a QB and both Went and Goff are off the board they could take Lynch there. Or they can roll the dice and hope he lasts till the 2nd. The latest mock drafts I have seen have Lynch going to the Broncos at pick 32
