Holy crap.

I don't love giving up that haul, especially when the Rams get Goff and make the playoffs in what might the most brutal division in football now, but that is the type of trade down that can rebuild a franchise.

Of course, they tried something like this (strategy wise) in 2005 trading down for a load of picks and they whiffed horrifically (the ben troupe/antwan odom draft).

We'll see if this GM can execute.

At this point trading 15 for Wilkerson would be a bold move. But defensible.

Wow...TN dropped down lower than anticipated (15), which takes them out of Tunsil territory but they got both Ram 2nds 43, 45, 3rd 76, 1st and 3rd in '17.

Rams also got a 4th 113, and 6th 177.

a 1st and 3rd in 2017 too... the rams got "colorado kobe'd"


if they find a true franchise QB, no price is too high

With that said, I dont think any of these guys are, but Wentz is the one im taking a chance on

The fact that the Titans already have their QB in place makes this a fantastic trade IMO.

Well...we knew that you don't move into a new market with the QBs they had in tow....paid dearly...FO will have to work OT to make sure the picks they do have stick.

The Rams better hope they don't get RGIII'd on this deal...you screw this up and it will leave a mark and get people fired...

Okay conspiracy theorists. Is this an NFL deal to help LA out?

Totally agree. Amazing deal for Tennesee IMO

It is a bit ironic that that the Rams are the next team to do an RG3 type trade.

I honestly thought this type of trade was impossible. But I guess when you drop all the way to 15 it is.

maybe Tenn goes Conklin at 15 now?

Yep...Rams were fleeced badly here imo, no 2nd rd or 3rd this yr...no 1st or 3rd next yr....they do have two 4th.

TN at 15 seems like no mans land unless they go after Billings...I'm curious if they don't try to trade back into the top 10.

I'm liking the idea of a division rival giving up a lot to draft a player of a position that busts a high percentage of the time. It'll set them back for 3+ years if it doesn't work.
