DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2016 NFL Season 2016 NFL Draft Titans Trade No. 1 Pick to LA Rams

in that scenario I would keep Tunsil and Thomas and anchor both ends of the line...yea I could dig that

I could see it, but my best rated player is Ramsey.

me too, would love to get Ramsey at 2...WR hopefully at 32...yup my dream scenario

I don't see how Thomas gets us two No. 1 picks. And if we draft Tunsil and trade Thomas for a late No. 1, then we have just gotten younger at LT and acquired a late 1. I don't think it helps that much.

I also don't like endlessly building the OL with No. 1 picks. I like have some solidguys, but we need impact skill guys, too.

Insider Buzz: Multiple Sources Believe Rams Will Draft Jared Goff with Top Pick


http://bleacherreport.com/articles/26328...f-with-top-pick

kinda what I thought too...I don't see how this would be a negative for us...just a bonus if they trade back...but hope we don't

2 things:

It makes no sense for the Rams to leak details about who they are interested in taking as a smokescreen ....... because no one can jump them. It has been reported numerous times that Wentz is the guy they really like, and now reports are that's who they will take, so why would they need to lie. They aren't going to somehow get even more out of us in order to trade down. lol

The only reason they would wait is so that if something bad happens to him between now and the draft, they are not locked in.

Also, as noted, reports are that we like Goff more than anyone else in the draft, so our plans will likely be unchanged.

There really isn't. I think the Rams blew it doing this.

You'd think they'd know about mega trades. They were on the good side of one in 2012 when they received a boat load of picks for the 2nd pick. Worked out great for the team that traded the pick, not so good for the team that traded away the future.

Thanks, but man, I think the titans pilfered a lot from the Rams.

None of the top QB's in this draft compare to Luck or RGIII (or at least what RGIII was supposed to be in 2012 and hopefully will be again )

The titans gm alluded to exactly that just a little while ago. Saying something of the sort that this only locks them out of one player and have plenty of ammo to make any move they want

And if our sights are set on someone that can be gotten later, we'd be fools not to listen.

Preceded by:




You guys are confusing me.

J/C

Last night on my way home from work I was listening to the NFL Network on my Sirius Radio and they had Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on and Kirwan was saying that the Browns' scouting department liked Wentz but that the coaching staff preferred Goff so if we stay at #2 we may get our guy anyway.

I think the media is confusing everyone.

This is either the worst thing or the best thing.

Question, and no, I haven't scoured this thread to see if it's been brought up: Can the Rams announce who they're taking prior to the draft and start talking contract & what-not early?

I want to say that's what Cinci did back when they took Carson Palmer #1.

Yes, they can. I believe the NFL frowns upon it because it takes the excitement out of the first pick.

I think most link us to Goff. and if that is the case the Rams would not have leaped frogged to get Wentz...my money is they get Goff at 1. leaving Wentz, Ramsey, Tunsil etc. for us.

Welcome to the club.... Club Confusion!

People have linked us to both Goff and Wentz. Also, trading up to #2 means that other teams can't trade up to #1.

Wow. This was written months ago.

the only reason to leap frog us is to get the guy they think we are after...In my mind it's Goff...can't swear to it or prove it...just the way it sits with me is all.

lol good call on the trading up part

That is not the only reason. They could be worried about another team getting the #1 pick and then they don't have their choice.

Snap!

Exactly, if you're going to go all in, go all in, don't half-ass a trade up and still leave doubt.

hmm yea I can see that ...If we don't get Ramsey...I'm thinking I could dig Thomas at LT and Tunsil at RT. anchor both sides of the O-line with Bit at LG and Greco at RG...and if Erving steps up at C...then we might just have a line to run behind...hmm...yup I could dig that scenario

I mocked the Titans/Rams trade back on Feb. 12 on WalterFootball.com's Mock Draft site. Had it all right except for the Rams throwing in the second 2nd rnd pick this year and Tenn. throwing in their 4th and 6th rnd picks.

Great job!

That's what I'm thinking. Thomas, Bitonio, Erving, Greco, and Tunsil would be just fine. And we would have our LT of the future solidified.

This with the assumption that whoever the QB who falls to us isn't viewed by us as Franchise QB worthy.

We are sitting pretty. . . unless they take the QB we wanted all along.

They have needs at almost every key position, however, with RG3 now on the roster, they know they can at least get through one season before drafting a franchise QB, because a healthy RG3 will be more than suitable.

Sometimes things do happen for a reason, even in sports. At this point, maybe it is fate that earlier this very week Josh Gordon had his application for re-instatement denied to re-enter the NFL. Leaving the Browns even less talented at WR.
This should open the door for LaQuan Treadwell, the best wide receiver coming out of the draft from The University of Mississippi. He is the physical and big receiver that the Browns sorely lacked last season.

Treadwell is and All American and the 2013 SEC Freshman of the year. He has power, speed and great hands, all talents the Browns receivers lacked last year.

At 6”2 and 210 pounds, he has the size that will allow him to get off the jam at the line, and also the speed to go deep. His size also makes him a key threat for post routes in the end zone. Something the Browns were awful at last year.

The other key ingredient is that most mock drafts don’t have Treadwell getting picked until the teens, the Browns can make a trade, stock up on some picks and still get him mid first round. Perhaps the Rams just did the Browns the biggest favor since coming back in 1999?

Time will tell……………………..

hmm interesting take on it...I have been thinking Defense and BPA at 2..but this is something to ponder for at least a second.

For the people who want non-QBs this is a dream. We get to pick whatever player we want or trade down. Pretty cool.

or maybe a QB is not what we wanted all along...even better for us then.

I completely agree

HA! We have different guys almost very year. I hope this group get's that we'll end up with lessor talent again if we trade down out of the first round. We need to start getting the top talent the draft has to offer and not reach for quantity. We gotta start getting the top notch quality guys that you can only get in the top 10 picks
