The Los Angeles Rams have made a super trade with the Tennessee Titans that guarantees them the first-round NFL Draft pick in 2016. Alex Ferguson tries to work out why the deal was made…. The NFL Draft almost guarantees crazy deals as teams swap players and prospects in an attempt to reach the top of the food chain.The Rams have this years No 1 pick after being given it by Tennessee Titans in exchange for their 15th pick, two second-round picks, one third-round pick and their first and third-round picks in 2017. In other words, Rams owner Stan Kroenke has exchanged the house for what could be a franchise quarterback.If the next Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning or John Elway were in the offing, then you could understand the deal. Rams want a new quarterback to complement Todd Gurley The Rams arent too far away from being a good team. Theyve got a great, young running back in Todd Gurley, a freak-like defensive tackle in Aaron Donald and other good young players.But the cupboard for quarterbacks in 2016 certainly isnt as tempting as it was in 2015, when two Heisman Trophy winners went as the first two draft picks.This year, the cupboard is pretty bare. Many seem impressed by California quarterback Jared Goff, but in his final year in college football for the Bears, he didnt produce many excuse me while I stand up and applaud moments.Goff was susceptible to interceptions (he led the Pac-12 Conference with 13). Though he had more than 4,700 passing yards last season, he also had an offense that set him up to throw (a lot). Will he be good enough for the NFL?The scouts will point to his 6ft 4in frame and say yes, but was he worth the deal with the Titans?Alternatively, people love Carson Wentz, the quarterback who wasnt particularly talked about when he was being recruited for colleges. Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota isnt going anywhere He decided to play his football at FCS powerhouse North Dakota State (NDSU), the equivalent of playing in the Championship in English football compared to the Premier League. Wentzs hands were measured at ten inches in width - an inch bigger than Goffs. Even at FCS level, he was stunningly good.Hes 6ft 6in, a powerful runner (1,028 yards and 13 TDs) and threw the ball excellently (5,115 yards and 45 TDs) in only two years of starting. But will he be able to understand the complex NFL offensive schemes and play against NFL defences? I saw Wentz play several times last season for NDSU and didnt think he would be the first draft pick. Theres another reason why I dont like this monster deal with Tennessee: the Titans werent planning to get another quarterback.They already have a franchise quarterback in Marcus Mariota (although, frankly, they should do something about their offensive co-ordinator if they want to see the true greatness of Mariota), and they arent about to get rid of him.They could have made this trade with Cleveland or San Diego and still got a quarterback. It seems unlikely that Cleveland were going to draft a quarterback and San Diego had Philip Rivers and the no trade clause, which he had put in place after his contract extension in 2015.Unless the Rams are going to draft brilliant Ole Miss offensive linesman Laremy Tunsil because their offensive line isnt doing great (ranked 28th out of 32 in the Pro Football Focus rankings), this may be a truly terrible decision.

Nick Franklin hit his first career grand slam in Seattles big second inning to back up a scoreless start by Hernandez, and the Mariners rolled past the Houston Astros 12-5 on Sunday for their season-best sixth straight victory. Franklins slam, Seattles fifth this season, came off Jordan Lyles (4-4) in a seven-run second. Hernandez (11-4) scattered four hits with seven strikeouts over six innings to lower his AL-leading ERA to 2.43. He is 6-0 in his last 10 starts and hasnt lost since May 25. The Mariners were up 7-0 in the third inning against the Angels on June 20 before Hernandez was tagged for a season-high seven runs over the next three innings as Los Angeles rallied for a 10-9 win. "Im sure it was in the back of everyones mind, but he was a different animal today," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Hes one of those guys, it might happen once, but its not going to happen again. I thought he did a good job against them. They made him work. But he did a good job and made pitches." Hernandez said he didnt think about that game against the Angels, he simply appreciated getting so much run support early. "Oh yeah, man, its fun to pitch like that," he said. "The last few weeks weve been scoring a lot of runs. Weve just got to continue to do that and were going to win a lot of games." Brad Miller, Dustin Ackley and Michael Saunders drove in two runs each to help the Mariners wrap up a three-game sweep. Lyles yielded eight hits and 10 runs, with a career-high nine earned, in four-plus innings to lose his third consecutive decision "It snowballed," Lyles said. "From the get-go, I was missing around the zone. I wasnt quite hitting targets. I was just a little bit off. It really came down to fastball command." The Mariners piled up 13 hits, a day after managing just one in a 4-2 win. Wedge liked that his team continued to pad the lead after going up by seven early. "A lot of times youll see that: You get a big lead and you dont do anything the rest of the game," Wedge said. "I thought our guys did a good job of staying hungry." Hernandez didnt allow a runner past first base until the fifth when Justin Maxwell reached on an error by Miller at shortstop and went to second on a wild pitch.dddddddddddd Maxwell advanced to third on a one-out single by Jake Elmore, but Hernandez left Houston empty-handed when Jose Altuve grounded into a double play. Kendrys Morales singled to open the Seattle second and Kyle Seager reached on an error at shortstop by Elmore. Michael Saunders drew a one-out walk to load the bases before an infield single by Ackley made it 1-0. A second run came home when Lyles plunked Henry Blanco with a pitch. Millers RBI single pushed the lead to 3-0 before the grand slam by Franklin, off to an impressive start in his rookie season. "It was definitely a great bounce-back from yesterday and only having the one hit," Franklin said of jumping on Houston early. "But at the same time, weve been swinging it well and it was just one of those adjustment periods we had to go through and get back after it the next day." Lyles retired Raul Ibanez before finally escaping the inning when Morales came up again and grounded out. Lyles settled down after that and retired six of his next seven batters. Things started going awry again in the fifth when Ibanez led off with a double before an RBI single by Morales made it 8-0. Lyles hit Seager with a pitch and was chased by Justin Smoaks single. Saunders grounded into a force out to add another run and the Mariners went up 10-0 on a sacrifice fly by Ackley. Miller pushed the lead to 11-0 with an RBI single in the seventh, and Saunders extended his career-best hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI double in the eighth. The Astros got a run-scoring single from Altuve in the seventh and tacked on four runs in the ninth to make it 12-5.
