Titans Trade # 1

The Tennessee Titans have traded the #1 pick overall to the Los Angeles Rams. A move that shows that New GM Jon Robinson is not just going to sit back and see what happens. Robinson has been very active this off season with the trade to get DeMarco Murray from the Philadelphia Eagles, and a very active Free Agent Signing period. Details of the trade of the # 1 overall pick are below in a release the Titans sent out less than 45 minutes ago.

Titans Agree to Terms on Trading Number One Pick to L.A. Rams for Multiple Picks

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.

“It is not often that you have the number one overall 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 player acquisition,” said Titans General Manager Jon Robinson. “Being able to acquire six picks in the top 76 this year and additional picks next year, not only helps our depth but gives us ammunition to move in this year’s draft and next. I know we now have the number 15 pick, but I would say it doesn’t knock us out of any player except one. We now have the ammunition to work the draft and  acquire players that are good for this football team. In terms of timing, it made sense for us to do this now as it gives us time to adjust and make sure we target more players.”

This marks the seventh trade involving the number one overall pick since 1990 and the first since 2004, when San Diego selected Eli Manning and traded his rights to the New York Giants.
