Rams Trade for No. 1 Draft Pick

LOS ANGELES, CA The Los Angeles Rams traded for the number 1 draft pick in a blockbuster deal aimed at acquiring a franchise quarterback.

The Rams traded with the Tennessee Titans for the No. 1 pick giving up their No. 15 pick, two second round picks, a third round pick and a first and third round pick in next year’s draft.

The move puts the team first in line to scoop up North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz. The Rams will also receive a fourth-round pick (113) and sixth-round pick (177) in 2016. The NFL draft is April 28-30 in Chicago.

"Our philosophy always has been to build through the draft," Rams General Manager Les Snead said. "This trade is a reflection of that goal."

"In order to make a move of this magnitude you have to have a good trade partner," said Rams coach Jeff Fisher, a former standout defensive back for the USC Trojans, and former head coach of the Titans. "We appreciate working with the Titans on an opportunity that can benefit both organizations."

Rams get from the Titans:

• 1st round pick (1 overall)

• 6th round pick (177)
