Don't know the statistics but it seems every time a team trades up, it just does not work out. A lot of excitement at the time but the end result is usually less wins.
Browns trade up for Quinn: NO
RG3 trade: Big NO
Jets trade up for Sanchez: Big NO
Meanwhile Bellichick seems to always trade down because the 2nd round picks have real value. They are starters generally without starter money their first 4 years

Titans now have six of top 76 picks. Per ESPN Stats and info: We found 3 instances in the common draft era (1970) of teams having 7 picks in the top 76: 1991 Cowboys, 1982 Patriots, 1975 Rams. A few more instances of 6: 1989 Rams, 1986 Giants, 1985 Bills, 1982 Saints, 1976 Lions, 1974 Colts, 1970 Cowboys.
L.A.'s trade with Tennessee was the first time a team has moved to the top of the draft since the Falcons traded up for Michael Vick in 2001. The Rams also jumped to the top of the draft for Orlando Pace in '97.

If this #1 pick is a pro bowl QB(or similar stats) within 4-5 years, the rams can justify it. Anything else = titans owned this trade. Even if he is apro bowler, the titans could have 2-3 pro bowl type players out of this trade within 4-5 years and still win the trade.
Titans are freerollin here, while the rams needs 1 out on the river.
