Rams pick Cal quarterback Jared Goff first overall

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams gave up six premium picks to move all the way from No. 15 to No. 1 to land what they hope is their present and future franchise quarterback. After taking their second quarterback with the first pick in the past seven years, they're betting big that Cal's Jared Goff will be that guy.

My take: When the Rams made the deal with the Tennessee Titans to move all the way up, I felt like it was a classic case of making a trade that I probably wouldn't have done for either Goff or North Dakota State's Carson Wentz but also one that I understood them making.
