Rams get No. 1 pick, their 4th and 6th. Titans get Rams’ 1, two 2s (43 + 45), 3 and then Rams 1 and 3 next year.

All indications are that the Rams will select a quarterback now that the Rams have moved into the top pick. That quarterback by all indications appears to be Carson Wentz from North Dakota State. The Rams have kept their quarterback visits awfully quiet so it remains to be seen whether it is Wentz or Cal’s Jared Goff.
The more interesting part of the trade is for the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have hinted that they prefer Jared Goff with both head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton getting an up and personal look at the west coast gunsligner. If St. Louis takes Goff we may see another blockbuster trade with the 2nd overall pick.
For Tennessee the move is obvious, collect more assets. The Titans will now hold 10 of the first 76 picks. For a team that has just 4 wins the past two seasons it is clear Tennessee needs to improve everywhere.
