So long quarterbacks? New draft order following Rams trade to No. 1

In a move that will certainly
throw everyone's mock drafts into chaos, the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams have
moved into the number one spot in this month's NFL Draft following a trade with the Tennessee Titans.
The Rams
give up their first-round pick (15th overall), two second round picks, a third round pick, and first and third round picks next year to the Titans, per the
Los Angeles Times. The Rams get the Titans' number one overall, a fourth round pick, and a sixth round pick this year.
The trade certainly changes the landscape of the draft. Likely gone will be the two top quarterback prospects in Jared Goff and Carson Wentz to the Rams and the Cleveland Browns – not necessarily in that order.
NFL Media's Albert Breer reports the Rams already have conducted on-campus workouts with both quarterbacks.
What this does mean is that a solid non-quarterback prospect may fall to the San Francisco 49ers' pick at seventh overall.
Here is the new updated draft order in the first round.
- Rams (From Titans)
- Browns
- Chargers
- Cowboys
- Jaguars
- Ravens
- 49ers
- Eagles (From Dolphins)
- Buccaneers
- Giants
- Bears
- Saints
- Dolphins (From Eagles)
- Raiders
- Titans (From Rams)
- Lions
- Falcons
- Colts
- Bills
- Jets
- Redskins
- Texans
- Vikings
- Bengals
- Steelers
- Seahawks
- Packers
- Chiefs
- Cardinals
- Panthers
- Broncos

Rumors surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson being "extremely unhappy" with the Houston Texans has sparked a flurry of trade speculation from fanbases across the league. And why wouldn't it?
