And the rumors just keep flying in…
According to Jim Wyatt, Titans beat reporter for the Tennessean, and St. Louis Rams writer Jim Thomas, the St. Louis Rams were in talks with the Tennessee Titans for the number two overall pick.
The Rams have been in the market for a quarterback, and while they have Foles, he is only under contract for one season. If the Rams had the chance to draft Marcus Mariota, there is no doubt they would have to seriously consider it.
According to Wyatt the calls amounted to nothing serious and most likely the Rams doing their due diligence, but the point is, the calls were made which means the Rams could have at one point actually had some interest and know what the price would be to move up to the second overall pick.
Most likely the price would be too high for the Rams. Just three years ago it was Les Snead who snubbed the Redskins out of three number one picks and a second round pick for Robert Griffin III. It is highly unlikely that Snead would fall for the trick himself.
In addition to Browns and Eagles, I've heard the #Jets (6th pick) and #Rams (10th) have also been in discussions with #Titans.

Rams have talked to Titans about the No. 2 overall pick, per @jwyattsports.

---> "@jthom1: But told those Rams talks with Titans amount to "nothing meaningful.""

The Rams could literally do anything in the draft tonight and seem to be one of the draft’s biggest wild card teams. What the Rams do could determine what happens the rest of the draft. Will they stay put, will they move up or down, what position will they draft? At this point nobody seems to know what anybody is doing. Let the NFL Draft Madness begin!
