2016 NFL Draft News
 

With the draft just around the corner, I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread about draft related news, trades, etc. Starting with a big one:

Rams move up to get the #1 overall pick from Titans, here are the details:

[url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15201946/tennessee-titans-trade-no-1-pick-los-angeles-rams]Tennessee Titans trade No. 1 pick to Los Angeles Rams[/url]

Terms of the deal: Titans gets LA’s 1st, 2nd, 2nd, & 3rd in 2016, 1st & 3rd in 2017. LA gets Titans’ 1st, 4th & 6th in 2016.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Big gamble for the Rams. Looks like they want Goff or Wentz

Is Vinny running the Rams front office? Sheesh.

Its gotta be for Wentz or Goff

Irony that the Rams are pulling off this trade...giving up the house for a QB after watching us fail doing it with them as our partner.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

The Rams trying to bring in the local guy Goff with the Cali-brand or they taking Wentz? Im thinking Wentz

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Yeah no way they give up that much and don't take a qb. I'll put my money on Goff. He's already got the experience of playing at a big time program in Cali, and I wouldn't be surprised if some scouts don't like Wentz because he's a late bloomer.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

RGIII trade 2.0

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Holy crap, after seeing how bad we failed at this type of thing I expected a repeat of this kind of trade to become rare.
Slick move by the Titans, they can still get pretty much what they needed in the first round with the 15th pick.
They also now have [B][COLOR="Red"]6[/COLOR][/B] picks in the first three rounds.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

John Keim pretty much killing Jeff Fisher on twitter. Says this is more of Fisher buying another 4 years as a HC and wonder how Fisher keeps his job. Says overrated. Gotta agree.

Since the Rams ownership doesn't seem to care much about football and more about selling their brand, I'm thinking Goff.

Only reason I see Fisher continually sticking around is ownership being content with his mediocre results. I'm betting this buys him a couple more years max before ownership realizes they need to do more to get fans in the seats.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

But I thought Goff wasn't big enough, blah, blah, blah. If he's not the #1 pick, he will still be one of the top 10 picks. Been saying Fisher sucks for years, screw that jerk.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Amazing to me this is the year and these are the QBs that someone makes a major play for....Winston/Marriota were superior QB prospects compared to Wentz/Goff.

I think this move makes zero sense for the Rams. Zero fuckin sense for either of these QB.

This move is much more about brand/and selling shit versus football. Rams got hard knocks too. Sell sell sell

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

This shakes things up quite a bit. It now virtually ensures a QB will go #1, meaning the second QB just benefitted as well.

Cleveland at 2 might opt to take the 2nd best QB, and you have to figure there's no way the 2nd QB would get past San Fran at 7.

I just love it because I think this locked the Eagles out of being able to get one of them at 8. I love seeing that team mired in QB purgatory.

What a bunch of idiots. How Jeff Fisher still has a job is amazing. I guess this is more about them selling tickets with a brand new shiny QB to sell their fanbase on.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

The best part for us Redskins fans is now they will stop talking about the RGIII trade. This is the new trade to follow.

I feel like Wentz/Goff are no Luck/Griffen; at least the hype.

Hmmm...Tunsil could slide to Dallas now.

Dallas is going defense.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Redskins have been redeemed on that bad trade of 2012! Holy cow! Get the popcorn ready!

Maybe when the Rams meet the Titans, the Titans will walk all of their draft picks out to the center of the field for the coin toss!

Not sure why the Chargers would pass him up at #3, do they have a stud LT?

this this this.

Not only the Eagles but Dallas too. Both these teams were considering QBs in the first. QBs will go 1 and 2 in the draft. Still an outside chance one of those teams could trade up to 2.

Also, Chip Kelly was trying to move up to get a QB too. I love watching Chip Kelly getting repeatedly bitch slapped. The guy's ego is amazing and he think everyone is way beneath him.

I think the Chargers would scoop him up. Ranked worst in pass blocking last year if I'm correct. Also, the Cowboys have Smith, Free, and they picked up
La'el Collins (1st round talent) as a UDFA. I don't see them picking up a OT this high. Most likely Ramsey, Jack or Bosa, but definitely a defensive pick.

Think snowball in hell when you think of the chances that San Diego will not take him or trade the pick.

I really hope they take Bosa, he is the most overated player in this draft in my opinion. Trent or Morgan will handle him with ease. All of his highlights are when he pushes inside and I would love to see Scherff blast him.

I base that on the fact that (currently/it will update soon) all the talking heads mock boys on NFL.com have Chargers all picking defense with their first pick.

Most of those guys probably had Tunsil going to Titans with the #1 though, which pretty much pushes Chargers to pick up defense at that point. Now that Tunsil is back on the board, he'll most likely be there for the Chargers, and they desperately need blocking.

Why are you basing opinions on mocks created with Tennessee picking #1??

Am I taking crazy pills??

I was listening to NFLN on the radio on the way to work this morning and the this very same topic was brought up. Almost everyone agreed to what you said. But one very astute guy corrected everyone and said, 'the Redskins (RGIII) trade with the rams was a failure for the Redskins and a win for Rams? No.'
Since that trade Redskins made it to the playoffs twice. Rams have not gone to the playoffs. ZERO! So who failed and who won?
The Rams have not been to the playoffs since 2004-2005 season.
Since "the Trade" in 2012 the Rams season record has been:
2012: 7-9
2013: 7-9
2014: 6-10
2015: 7-9
So where did we fail and they won? In what world? Winning the offseason?

It's categorically incorrect to say the TRADE failed for the Rams. It's completely correct to say the RAMS failed.

They picked some decent players with the picks we gave them. But they never solved the QB problem, which is the biggest failure of them all. No matter what your roster looks like, if you get dreck from QB like they got from Bradford, Nick Foles, and whoever else they suited up, no amount of depth is going to matter.

Likewise, we didn't succeed on the trade. Griffin gave us one good year, then squadoosh. Cousins was the reason we got to the playoffs in 2015. Cousins and Gruden and McCloughan and Reed and everyone else. But not Griffin.

Rams came out on the better end of the trade, but they failed to take advantage of it. Who would I rather be a fan of today? The Redskins. But that has everything to do with the core McCloughan has put into place, and the fact that we have serious hope at QB. It has nothing to do with the trade.

I'm not basing an opinion.
I said he [I]could[/I] slide.
Either way I'm still seeing a couple mocks with San Diego taking defense.
Even saw one with the Ravens getting him.
And no, it was not BillyBobsPodunkdraft.net

You're special.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

I'm still dumbfounded by the Ram's trade for the #1, but I have a big suspicion this is about selling tickets and seat licenses. What other big way to make a splash in the new LA market than get the top pick in the draft and use it on a local kid from Cal. While Kroenke is a douche bag, he's smart enough to know that none of their QBs were going to wow people into dropping insane amounts of money into seat licenses. Goff on the other hand will.

No!!! You mean it's about the money?! Who would have thought that an NFL owner would override his football people in order to sell tickets?

Per schefter:

After medical rechecks, Notre Dame's Jaylon Smith is not expected to play in 2016 and teams are unsure when he will play again, per sources.

well, drafting vick instantly sold 25,000 season tickets in atlanta, so... it's a valid theory.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft News
 

Wow, the fail train just keeps rolling along.
So the Iggles will get Wentz or Goff and have no first rounder next year.
Since the Browns have moved down I assume they have a bit of confidence in RG3.
