Titans, Rams trade ranked as one of the most important of the decade
By Will Lomas
Tennessee Titans first draft with Jon Robinson yielded one of the trades of the decade.
How often does a GM take over a franchise and make one of the biggest trades of the decade? Well, Tennessee Titans Jon Robinson came on to the scene and made a splash in year one.
Bleacher Report agreed and ranked it 6th among the 9 biggest trades of the last decade in a recent article.
Like most massive trades, the move that got the Rams from the middle of the first round all the way up to the top pick was multi-layered and it took years to figure out who the true winners and losers were.
The trade is best summed up like this in the article:
"So for all intents and purposes, it was [Jared] Goff, [Pharoh] Cooper, [Mike] Thomas and [Temmarik] Hemingway for [Jack] Conklin, [Derrick] Henry, [Corey] Davis, [Jonnu] Smith, [Austin] Johnson, [Leshaun] Sims and [Kalan] Reed."
So who won? Well, Bleacher Report gave the Tennessee Titans a “B” and the Rams a “C”, but I am not sure I would grade it that way.
Here are my thoughts on why both teams ended up and which players are still making an impact for their team.
