Rams take Cal quarterback Jared Goff with first pick in the NFL draft

The Los Angeles Rams selected California quarterback Jared Goff with the first pick of the 2016 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Chicago.

The Rams had traded up with the Tennessee Titans for the right to get Goff with the first overall pick.

The 6-foot-4 Goff started every game during his three seasons at California and set school records with 977 completions, 12,220 yards passing and 96 touchdown passes. The son of former major league catcher Jerry Goff passed for 4,719 yards and 43 touchdowns during his final season with the Bears.

The trade cost the Rams six picks while returning three.
