The Los Angeles Rams made a huge splash when they traded up and took Jared Goff with the first overall pick.

The team needs more talent at wide receiver and tight end, and they spent four draft picks on those two positions late in the draft. It is important that they surround their young quarterback with enough weapons to be successful.

The Rams gave up a lot to get Goff, and now he must prove that he was worth the gamble. He has a lot of talent and can lean on a strong running game to start his career, but at some point they will need him to step up and make big plays.

This was a huge trade that gives the organization plenty of momentum as they head to Los Angeles. It could be seen as a great move down the line, or it could set the franchise back and leave them searching for answers.
