In four years, the Eagles will trade a second round pick for Carson Wentz.

The Tennessee Titans announced that they traded the No. 1 overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams for a hefty package of draft picks in return. This of course means that all speculation surrounding the Eagles trading up to the No. 1 spot can end.

The details of the trade:

Titans get Rams get 
 1st round pick (15th overall)1st round pick (1st overall) 
 2nd round pick (43rd overall)4th round pick (113th overall) 
 2nd round pick (45th overall) 6th round pick (177th overall)
 3rd round pick (76th overall) 
 2017 first round pick 
 2017 3rd round pick 


The Rams included the second round pick they acquired from the Eagles in the Sam Bradford trade a year ago. It is likely the Rams will use the No. 1 overall pick on one of the top two quarterbacks in this draft, North Dakota State' Carson Wentz or Cal's Jared Goff. Sam Farmer of the LA Times says that Wentz is the presumed target.
