Don't know why the link I'm posting is messed up but here's what it says:
So you want to make a splash in Los Angeles — how about trading for the No. 1 overall pick?
That’s exactly what the Rams have done, making a blockbuster deal to usher in a new era of football in Southern California.
The Rams and Titans announced the historic trade on Thursday morning. Tennessee owned the No. 1 overall pick in the draft having finished the 2015 season 3-13.
Aside from the first selection, Los Angeles will receive the No. 113 pick in Round 4, and the No. 190 overall pick in Round 6. In exchange, Tennessee receives a number of picks from L.A.: No. 15, No. 43, No. 45, and No. 76 overall in 2016, and next year’s first- and third-round selections.
Los Angeles, presumably, executed the trade to target a quarterback at No. 1. But exactly the player — and the position — will be determined April 28.
The Rams have selected No. 1 overall five times in franchise history, most recently in 2010. The franchise last traded up to No. 1 in 1997 to select left tackle Orlando Pace, who was just elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
