Tunsil no longer top draft pick

[Predestined]

Rams just traded a ton of picks to Titans for No. 1. Hard to pass on Tunsil, but when you get this year's 1, next year's one, two twos and two threes, it makes it more palatable.

Browns will take a QB. Wonder if San Diego realizes the gift they just got? They were going defense.

Details: The Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms on a trade that would see Tennessee trade the number one overall pick, along with their fourth round (113 overall) and sixth round (177 overall) picks this year to the Rams, in exchange for the Rams first round pick (15), two second round (43 and 45) selections and third round (76) pick in 2016; along with the Rams first round pick and third round picks in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Titans now own nine selections in the 2016 Draft, including six of the top 76 picks in the draft.

Herschel Walker approves this deal.

As a Titans fan I like it.

Good for them, but it's kind of a sucky draft to have a **** load of picks.

Herschel Walker approves this deal.

Yep. I don't care how good Tunsil is, there's always risk in drafting any one player. Trading 1 top 100 pick for 6 top 50 picks plus another top 100 pick is a no brainer. This trade will haunt the Rams for years.

 

[ronpolk]

Damn... Who the hell do the Rams think is that valuable?

Twitterverse satys Wentz is their guy

[Predestined]

Yes, they gave up quite a "ramsom" for that pick.

I feel like I've seen something similar to this before. Ah yes, Ricky Williams. Thanks, Ditka.

Not if you are looking for Defense. ....Wins Championships...

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

You win 5 total games in two years...

you need to flush and start over.

Hey man Ricky was great for my Dolphins. Still one of my favorite players of all time.

 

[patdog]

There's never a bad draft to have a lot of picks. Titans should get at least 3-4 good players by giving up 1. That's a good trade any day.

 

[fishwater99]

This is a good thing....*

LOL.

Tunsil may fall to 6..

Just realized this ROYALLY screws my Niners. Wentz and Goff will now be off the board. 17.

 

[msudawg12]

best move the Titans have made in the draft in the last decade. I'm impressed that front office was this smart

 

[MarkDallas]

Herschel Walker approves this deal.

I still say Walker should get a Cowboys Superbowl ring. He built that team.

 

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

The twitters say only twice has a team had this many draft picks so early, and both made the SuperBowl within 5 years of said draft.

 

[57stratdawg]

I know that sounds really good, but there is nothing guaranteed. Especially when you consider a franchise stuck in limbo like the Titans' ownership right now. Here's a list of the Titans 1st through 3rd rounds over the last couple years:

2015 - Mariotta, Dorial Green-Beckham, Jeremiah Poutasi
2014 - Thomas Lewan, Bishop Sankey
2013 - Chance Womack, Justin Hunter, Wren-Wilson, Zaviar Gooden
2012 - Kendall Wright, Zach Brown, Mike Martin

Are there 3 or 4 good players in that list?

Tunsil's payday just shrunk (NM)

Good for them, but it's kind of a sucky draft to have a **** load of picks.

Most draft experts say it's one of the deepest drafts in awhile.

 

[patdog]

I know that sounds really good, but there is nothing guaranteed.

That's exactly why having 7 top 100 draft picks is better than having 1. Nothing is guaranteed. The #1 pick could be a flop. But with 7 top-100 picks, you'd have to have a tremendous run of bad luck and poor choices not to wind up with at least 3 good players.

Trade raped? **

Inclined to agree

Awesome problem to have. Wish the Cowboys had that problem. Better make your hay in the 5 years cause when those rookie contracts are up...if they are all performing then you can't afford to pay them all. good problem to have tho.

So the Titans have marriotta, and just signed some good rb...forgot who that was. They handle this right they are going to kill it in the afc south.

 

[Xenomorph]

maybe

+1

 

[Tomas Smid]

Living in San Diego will bring a smile to Tunsil's face.

As well as to that of Phillip Rivers while Marcus Marriota is crying the blues.
