[Night Train]

So Titans get Rams 1st 3 picks this year and a 1st and 3rd next year. Wow.

Correction - These terms were announced incorrectly by ESPN. Update coming.

Well, the titans are going to have a couple of pretty amazing drafts assuming they don't completely ef it up.

Thanks man.

That's just nuts. Desperate to draw fans to their new home.

[Skooby]

Wow, attention needed ? Who do the Rams take ?

[sukie]

Who is that overwhelmingly good to draw fans? Not one of the QBs is worth that. To spend that kinda draft cash... it better be a homerun impact jersey selling player.

This is my question - this is a move you'd make to get a Peyton, Luck type player, perhaps even a Cam (thought I had my doubts about him coming out of college) - are they really gonna move this many picks to take Wentz or Goff?

If I were the Titans I'd be poppin' bottles bc they just fleeced these guys.

[sukie]

it was an anal rape.

[MillsapsBillsFan]

Funny thing is the Rams were beneficiaries of this exact type of trade not too long ago (the RG3 trade up). This move really doesn't make sense, theres no QB worth making this kind of move this year. The titans probably couldn't accept this one fast enough

[Yasgur's Farm]

Oh oh Skooby... Paxton Lynch will almost certainly go to Bills.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Oh well, #23 please so I can crack open the back of my closet.

[stuckincincy]

I think they did this to gin up the gate for their move to LA. May as well...they aren't one of the "darling" franchises that gets maneuvered into the play offs year after year.

Thie Griffin trade was FAR FAR more compensation then this.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

That said, if I was the Bills right now I'd consider throwing a late pick at the Rams for Foles as Taylor's competition.

[trapezeus]

is this a teaser for a draft day 2? it is LA afterall.

[MillsapsBillsFan]

In terms of first rounders yes. Still mortgaging their future for what? First 4 picks this year and 2 of first three this year for QB's most don't consider franchise guys.

Edit: Not that you were defending one trade or the other, I was just mentioning It was the same style of trade

In terms of any kind of compensation. The Rams moved from #15 to #1 this year and the Redskins moved from #6 to #2. If the Rams have even a 7-9 season next year then they will acquire the #1 overall without even giving up a Top 10 pick, which is crazy good. The key part for me is that the Rams are getting back three picks this year, all of which are at the top of their rounds.

All the talk on Sirius this morning from is the thinking around the league is they traded up to take Wentz.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Rams Get

2016 1st Overall Pick
2016 4th Round Pick
2016 6th Round Pick

Titans Get


2016 15th Overall
2016 2nd Round Pick
2016 2nd Round Pick
2016 3rd Round Pick
2017 1st Round Pick
2017 3rd Round Pick
This makes Ditka's trade of his entire draft for Ricky Williams look reasonable.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Obviously.

Cleveland got screwed again. With Wentz surely off the board, they just lost all leverage to trade away their pick at #2.

[Scumbag College]

Tunsil just lost a bunch of money.

[Ed]

So the Titans now have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. That's awesome for them. I'm jealous.

[stuckincincy]

Tunsil just lost a bunch of money.

Isn't the $ for picks governed by the rookie caps...draft spot and position (QB, DT, CB and so on)?

[ghz in pittsburgh]

Hope Mularkey last long enough to make the playoff at Titans. maybe beofre the Bills?

[MillsapsBillsFan]

Isn't the $ for picks governed by the rookie caps...draft spot and position (QB, DT, CB and so on)?

Just draft spot, but yes the money is all slotted now. But now Tunsil wont go 1 or 2 probably

Thanks - makes sense.

Which means they'll stay pat and take Jalen Ramsey to replace Donte Whitner. lol

Myles Jack?

[swiper]

LOL. Had to read all the way to post #8 before I heard the name mentioned, then post #19 for the report.

The trade was made to get Wentz.

Goodell asking them not to telegraph the pick to keep our interest up? LOL.

Goff is the better QB. And that's who Cleveland has been rumored to want anyway.

I heard his brother Jack is a total slob though.

Nah not really, Philly has been linked to reports on trading for that pick, and they like Ezekiel Elliot.

[Mace]

Kind of tragic the Rams gave up that much in a deep draft, neither Wentz nor Goff are an Andrew Luck or a year one Griffin.

Kind of tragic the Titans chose Mike Mularkey to drive the Porsche they can build from this trade.

Kind of awesome it wasn't us.

[YardRat]

"I want my first round picks back you pancake-eating mother****er."

Payback's a *****, after the Ram's raped the Redskins over RGIII.

Thing is though, had Shanahan not dorked Griffin up, they might have been pleased as punch with that trade.

Per this report the Rams are leaning towards Goff not Wentz with the #1 pick;

Sure hope they enjoy whichever. Rams fans seem pretty upset about it.

Oh, btw, I can see why they'd lean toward Goff, he's a California guy for a team returning to California and seems smart marketing wise. I was reading Shefter said it though, and remember Shefter being determined for years to link the Bills with going after Michael Vick, like clockwork, every time Vick was even remotely appearing to be available. Either way though, ouch for the Rams.

[Skooby]

More pressure for Goff in front of his family / friends, huge mistake.

[Mr. Cynical]

Goff has a noodle arm. Enjoy it LA.

Dumbest. Trade. Ever.

[YardRat]

http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-rams-trade-farmer-20160415-story.html

Draft analysts favor Carson Wentz as Los Angeles Rams' pick at top of draft

[Saratoga Slim]

This is essentially the Sammy Watkins trade on steroids. Jeff Fischer and Les Snead are in the last year of their contracts and know that with all the $$ Kroenke's putting into this LA move, they need to win now or he'll be looking for some new faces to go with his 'new' franchise.

Not even close to the Dallas / Minn trade for H Walker.

Yep. He's one former NFLer that has taken care of himself for sure. He's a year older than I. I could do those push-ups at one point, but not now! LOL.

Thanks man.

That's just nuts. Desperate to draw fans to their new home.I hope the Titans tossed in a few jugs of Astrolube as well.
