Either they don't want a #1 receiver or they really believe in Quick and Brit and or Thomas and Duke

Who the Rams? What makes you say he was even offered to us? You're assuming they turned down a trade without knowing if one was offered.

DGB is the odd man out with the rise of Tajae Sharpe a 5th rounder and was behind Rishard Matthews, Tajae Sharp, Kendall Wright, Harry Douglas, Andre Johnson
Maybe he just isn't that good

Not sure DGB is a number 1 WR and you have to wonder why the Titans so quickly dumped a 2015 second round draft pick for a backup guard/tackle. You don't just send a 2nd rounder one year removed who had some production his rookie year unless there is a problem whether you have depth at that position or not.

Wow. DGB was available.... so much raw talent.
But he might be to the Titans what Brian Quick is to us: lots of raw talent, but needs time to develop. DGB played in high school in my area, and the competition was not all that good compared to other schools. He really didn't have enough time to develop in college due to his poor choices, despite the level of competition he faced. Quick is kind of the opposite: he had time but in a small school.
Point being, I don't think the rams need two BQ's on the roster.

Giving up on a second round pick after 1 year for a reserve lineman is a terrible sign.
They preferred Andre Johnson on his last legs, Rishard Matthews a UDFA who kinda broke through last year, Sharp a 5th round rookie, and Justin Hunter another high upside guy trending towards being a bust. Not a good look at all. Guy definitely has raw ability, but all those things combined with the amount they got in return for him has to give you serious concerns.

During a Week 13 win against the Jaguars last season, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota dropped back near midfield and floated a pass over the middle to wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who hauled it in as several Jacksonville defenders converged on him.
Using his 6-foot-5 frame, Green-Beckham shouldered Jaguars safety Sergio Brown aside, out muscling the rest on his way to the end zone. The 47-yard touchdown was Green-Beckham's longest reception of the season and an example of what the second-year pro can do.
Possessing enviable size and natural talent, Green-Beckham is capable of being a quarterback's dream target. But before that can happen, he must shed his inconsistency.
That is still very much a work in progress. On the Titans' first unofficial depth chart released Monday, Green-Beckham was listed near the bottom of the wide receiver group, running with the second- and third-team offenses during Monday's scrimmage at Nissan Stadium.
"Well, really just to keep grinding," Green-Beckham said of his mindset through the first week-plus of training camp. "Keep moving forward every day at practice, try to compete and try to do the right things. Take those little steps that they tell you to do on the field, take those to heart and try to get better."
When the Titans opened training camp last week, Green-Beckham received praise from coach Mike Mularkey for successfully slimming down during the off season and showing improvement in his route awareness. The next day, he noticeably struggled to catch the ball during practice.
On Monday, Green-Beckham made several catches, but then had a completion torn out of his hands by cornerback Jason McCourty, leading to an interception and epitomizing the up-and-down nature that the Titans are trying to correct.
"It's bad day, good day," Mularkey said when asked to assess Green-Beckham's progress. "Same thing it's been since the very first day."
Green-Beckham is gifted, but unteachable ability can only propel a player so far. Being a successful NFL player requires a certain amount of preparation, which he isn't doing enough of.
"That's spending extra time," Mularkey said when asked how to erase inconsistency. "That's doing things when nobody's watching. That's in the classroom. I think it's just putting the work in without being directed by anybody, doing it yourself. ... He does do it. I'd do it more."
The Titans' receiving corps last season was arguably the worst in football, compiling the fewest receptions (130) and second-fewest yards (1,665). There are signs that "DGB" can be part of the solution to that problem; his average of 17.2 yards per reception last season was eighth-most in the NFL last season and 30 of his 32 catches led to first downs, a rate that led the league.
Green-Beckham's potential is there in pieces. It's about putting those pieces together and molding himself into a player that can positively affect the Titans' future.
"Nobody wants to please and do good for this team more than he does," Mularkey said. "And I know that. He's just got to find a way to come out every day and make the plays that are called his way. That's got to be every day. It's just not been that way."

Sounds like Quick without the work ethic. DGB may put it together some day. Has the athletic ability and size.

What does that have to do with whether or not he was offered to the Rams or if they knew he was on the block. Reports coming from Titans fans are that DGB is lazy, doesn't know where to line up and can't learn the playbook. Throw that along with his off field past it makes one think he's not worth the roster spot.

They should have expected growing pains with him. He wasn't polished when Mizzou kicked him out and didn't play for a year despite being "picked up" by OU. That set him behind.
I have no idea if the lazy reports are true, but eh. I too would take him over Quick to be honest. And honestly, you don't need to pound his head with routes right off the bat. His sheer speed, size, and hands is enough where you give him 2-3 routes to learn and let him do what he did in college which is bully every DB he ever faced.
