The Titans receive 1st Round pick (15th), 2nd Round Pick(43rd), 2nd Round Pick (45th), 3rd Round pick (76th), 1st Round pick in 2017 and a 3rd Round pick in 2017. The Rams receive 1st Round pick (1st), 4th Round pick (113th) and 6th Round pick (177th).Ironically, very similar to what the Washington Redskins pulled off for the 2nd overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft.
