According to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com, the Titans will receive the No. 15 (first round), No. 43 (second round), No. 45 (second round) and No. 76 (third round) picks in the 2016 draft, along with the Rams' first- and third-round selections in 2017.

The Titans also dealt the No. 113 (fourth round) and No. 177 (sixth round) picks in 2016 to the Rams to complete the trade.

This is absolutely bonkers. I would honestly trade ARod for this. Two first rounders, two second rounders, two third rounders, and a fourth rounder for the #1 pick and a fourth and six round pick?

giving up that next years 1st is what would scare me. One injury could make the need to have that first rounder next year pretty big..

As for the Rams, I think the team is setup pretty well for a rookie QB to come in and not have to be the franchise day 1. They can ride Gurley for a couple years, and now they have a face to sell to the new fanbase also.

Titan are going to be able to put a ton of young prospects around their franchise Qb.

Including the first pick, they still have 6 picks in this draft.

Titans have $28 million in salary cap space.

Rams have $12 million in salary cap space. Nick Foles at about $10 million this year and a few more next year. I'm thinking he gets cut/traded.

If the Rams get a QB who is not a turn over machine and make even just 80% of all the throws, that'll help their offense quite a bit going along with a pretty decent defense. Rams went 4 - 2 against their division sweeping the Seahawks.

If you make a move like this, you better be 100% sure the player is a generational type talent.

I would give up next year's first plus 2/3/4 picks in this year's draft (and then hope I can find a trade down partner at #27) for two, maybe two players in this draft: DeForest Buckner, Laremy Tunsil, and, if I were convinced there are no med issues, maybe Myles Jack.

I would trade a 2nd and next year's first to trade up for Andrew Billings or Jalen Ramsey.

There are no players in this year's draft I would give up two years of first rounders.

I *would* be willing to trade this and next year's firsts plus either Bahktiari or Bulaga for Cordy Glenn, if the Bills would throw in a fifth rounder or so (in either draft).

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Here's a tip! Draft picks do not win Super Bowls. Elite Quarterbacks do! Get that through your melon and appreciate what fortunes we have as Packers fans!

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (16h) : meh

Zero2Cool (20h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (20h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (20h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (23h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (23h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
