"Trade No. 1: The blockbuster

Titans gave up: No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft (used on Rams QB Jared Goff), along with their fourth-round pick (No. 113, traded to Bears, who took LB Nick Kwiatkoski) and sixth-round pick (No. 177, used on TE Temarrick Hemingway)

Titans received: Los Angeles Rams' 2016 first-round pick (No. 15, used to trade up to No. 8 to take OT Jack Conklin), two 2016 second-round selections (Nos. 43 and 45, used on DT Austin Johnson and RB Derrick Henry), 2016 third-round pick (No. 76, used in Conklin trade), 2017 first- and third-round picks (Nos. 5 and 100, used on WR Corey Davis and TE Jonnu Smith)"


Thats 4 starters/difference makers that you picked up via this trade. A year ago, folks were saying that the Rams got the better end of this deal, because Goff was playing well. Looking back, you can see that the Tennessee Titans got the best of this deal.

"Trade No. 2: The steal

Titans gave up: 2019 seventh-round pick (No. 233, used on FB Chandler Cox) and a 2020 fourth-round pick

Titans received: Tannehill and Miami Dolphins' 2019 sixth-round pick (No. 188, used on LB David Long)"


The Titans gave up a 7th round pick to pick up the guy who made the difference in the team's fortunes , once inserted as the starting QB and a OLB who has made major contributions on special teams and as a valuable back up/starter.
