NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two weeks before the NFL Draft, the Titans have pulled off a historic trade aimed to “bolster the roster” and better the team for years to come.
The Titans have agreed to trade the No.1 pick of the draft to the Los Angeles Rams for the 15th overall pick in this year’s draft, two second-round picks (43 and 45), and a third-rounder (76) in 2016. The Titans will also receive the Rams’ first-round pick in 2017, along with their third-round pick in next year’s draft.
In addition to Tennessee’s No.1 pick this year, the Rams will also receive a fourth-round pick (113) and sixth-round pick (177) in 2016.
As a result of the trade, the Titans now have six picks in the top 76 in this year’s draft – 15, 33, 43, 45, 64 and 76. The Titans already held picks 33 and 64.
“Being able to acquire six players in the top 76 this year, along with next year when you factor that into it — I am assuming five in the top three rounds — that is 11 players that we can add to this football team that should not only increase our depth, but give us good quality players at all those positions,’’ Titans general manager Jon Robinson said.
“In the end we thought it was a decision that was best for this football team. It made sense for us to do it, and that’s why we moved on it. We talked to several teams about the pick. There was interest in the pick, and in the end we thought this was the option that made the most sense for us...We think we can really bolster this roster with the picks that we now have.”
Robinson said the two teams made the trade now for planning purposes for both teams leading up to the April 28-30 draft in Chicago. The two teams had been in discussions for several weeks before “things fell into place” on Thursday morning. Robinson said he “talked to a couple of teams” over the last few weeks about the pick.
“There wasn’t any framework in place (from a previous deal) that we were working off of,’’ Robinson said. “With the No.1 overall pick, there were a lot of factors that were talked about in making that move and in the end we weighed all of those factors and what it would take for a team to come to the No.1 overall pick.
“In the end this was a deal we agreed on.”
Robinson took over as general manager of the Titans earlier this offseason after working previously in front offices with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Today’s trade is yet another bold move for Robinson, who traded for former Eagles and Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray earlier this offseason. The Titans have added 10 new players this offseason.
“It is a big decision for this football team,’’ Robinson said of the trade. “It is not often that you have the number one pick and we hope to not be in this position again. But we tried to use that pick as currency to work the draft and maximize our player acquisition.”
In recent days, the Titans have entertained Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey and Oregon defensive lineman DeForest Buckner on pre-draft visits. The team is also scheduled host Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil and Ohio State defensive lineman Joey Bosa.
Robinson said the trade only rules one thing out for the Titans. With plenty of ammunition, he acknowledged the team has plenty of options leading up to the draft.
“This move does not knock us out of any player, except one,’’ Robinson said. “We now have the ammunition to work the draft and acquire players that are going to be good for this football team.”

Wentz or Goff better be franchise level QBs, because the Rams paid a ton to find out.

That's a lot to give up to take a dude I never even heard of 3 months ago.
Captain Cranks

Yeah...seems like a massive overpay if they're targeting one of these guys. It's like the guy at the draft who takes his 'sleeper pick' in the second round.

They better hope Although, the Gurley owner inside me wants to believe they just paid a butt load for Tunsil.

The QB the Rams draft will feel like it is when he get to camp and see all the "pass catchers" he has to toss the rock to

I would not be surprised if TEN moves back up in the 1st to grab someone they like.
Hey, it's a big deal for the Rams, they gave up a lot, but if you don't have a QB, you are just an also-ran. They were already losing young players to second deals, and they need to put a QB on this team.
Worth it if Wentz, or Goff is a Pro Bowler.

Really looking forward to Mularkey sending out all these picks as captains next year while Goff sits on the bench.

Still have to get players. They don't now. Incredibly boring roster, a young QB they like, and not much else. DGB might be good at WR, might not. Still have to go and get players.

To be honest, I think the Rams receivers are a little better than people think - their QBs have just been awful. If Brian Quick is recovered, it's not a bad unit at all.

Welcome to LA Mr. Goff. No pressure, but we gave up the franchise for you.

Not sure. Just adding the pieces together is all. Make a splash. Local kid. Brain for the position. That's all.
(Not saying I think he's worth that. Just saying I think that "could be" their thoughts)

the circumstances were ideal for both teams to make this trade.
yep.
Kenny britt is awesome! Do they even have a TE?
Murray should be solid, MM a franchise QB, Wright/DGB/Walker should be good enough, their D has a couple good players. But they better hit on a few of these guys.

Listen, no one aside from Mike Mayock (Carthon Wenth juth had the beth Pro Day I have ever theen!!!) thinks any QB is worth this trade.

IF Brian Quick is recovered they might not be that bad....but, in my opinion, this is not a receiving corps that scares defensive coordinators. On the other hand, Gurley is precisely the kind of safety cushion a rookie QB could benefit from.
The big thing about this trade, for me, is that I don't see Goff/Wentz or Keenum leading the Rams to a large number of victories this year so not only did the Titans make off with a haul in this year's draft, the 1st they got off the Rams next year will likely be in the top half of the round
Bigboy10182000

This all day. The general consensus all stated these 2 QB's need a year and that wont happen now. A ton of pressure, in a tough division, with almost 0 targets just isn't a good start IMHO

Defense and running game got Houston into playoffs last year.
Wentz doesn't need to be a Pro Bowler next year, just needs to manage the game, and play better than Foles (seems do-able).

The Rams have finished around .500 the last few seasons with (likely) far worse QBs. I love this trade for the Titans either way, but it's not a given they get an early first next year.

This is the seventh trade involving the number one overall pick since 1990 and the first since 2004.

And that folks, is how a loser NFL team stays a loser. The Rams apparently haven't learned their lesson from the Redskins even though Jeff Fisher made a point of rubbing the 'Skins nose in the Griffin deal during the coin toss last season.

Chip Kelly trade may keep Chip Kelly from getting a QB in SF.
Circle of life.

Nice move by the Titans. I guess the Rams have fallen in love with a QB.

SD will have a tough choice if it goes qb, qb. Staring at Ramsey, Jack, Bosa, Buckner, Tunsil. They need help everywhere.

I hope they do. Pass on Jack, Ramsey, and Buckner. Especially Buckner. Slap a nice double to left, instead of hitting a home run.

So you're saying that Nick Foles isn't the answer for the Rams...
Is Ramsey as the new Weddle still a big thought for SD. I think they can't go wrong with either.
I like talking Ramsey still as might get pick out of Dallas as he tops their board

As a fan of team that's never anywhere near the #1 overall pick, I am so jealous!
Two 1sts, Three 2nds, and Two 3rds this year and Two 1sts, a 2nd, and Two 3rds next year. I've only ever dreamed about those possibilities!
The Titans have a ton of holes, but they can still grab a quality LT at 15 even if they don't trade back down. And I think that if they offered 15 and 45 they could move back up at least 5 spots if not a little more to grab someone they love. If they don't become contenders in the next 3-4 years, they seriously F***ed up.
