I would not trade 5 draft picks, period. But the Rams have loaded up on draft picks over the years and are actually a very good and young team in search of a QB. At some point, the rookie contracts expire and you need to manage the cap to keep the core intact. They may be approaching that period.

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

Then it saves them from a stupid move. The guy at Michigan State is as good or better than the other two.

Making a move up in the 1st round is never worth it, in my opinion, unless you can get an Andrew Luck caliber player. This year's draft class does not have an Andrew Luck caliber player. Ironically enough, next year's draft class will.

If the Rams waited at 15, they might have been able to get Lynch. Instead, they blew their future load to move up to get a QB that maybe be marginally better than Lynch to begin with. I wouldn't have traded the 2016 picks to move up...but throw in the 2017 picks (the 1st rounder will probably be Top 10) and you have a landslide deal for the Titans. The Titans will now be able to beef up their OL and defense. Terrific steal by Tennessee, who might very well have 2 selections in the Top 15 and could, if they wanted to, trade out of one of those spots and add even more quality depth.
