The Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Rams shocked the world today when they pulled off a blockbuster trade which impacts 2016 NFL Mock Drafts everywhere.

This 2016 NFL Mock Draft has a ton of changes thanks to this trade which could really shake up the face of both franchises.

1. Los Angeles Rams

1. player. 51. The Rams made an aggressive move to land their quarterback of the future. Wentz has tons of talent but will need time to develop. Expect to see Case Keenum open the season as the starter and Wentz taking over if things start to turn south.. QB. North Dakota State. Carson Wentz

2. Cleveland Browns

2. player. 53. Cleveland needs a quarterback, but Hue Jackson is on record saying that he believes in Robert Griffin III. This gives them the opportunity to be patient in the draft and target a quarterback in the later rounds. It also allows them to add a dynamic playmaker like Myles Jack who will immediately improve the defense.. OLB. UCLA. Myles Jack

3. San Diego Chargers

Ole Miss. Laremy Tunsil . 3. player. 13. San Diego might be the big winner from the Los Angeles and Tennessee trade because it likely means Laremy Tunsil will be available at pick No. 3. This is a dream scenario as the Chargers desperately need offensive line help and especially someone who can help keep pressure off of Philip Rivers.. OT

4. Dallas Cowboys

player. 123. There’s a lot of negativity surrounding Bosa’s draft stock, but that could all be a smoke screen. The truth is he is a highly talented defender capable of making an immediate impact. Dallas has a major need at defensive end and Bosa would give them a two-way player who makes those around him better. DE. Ohio State. Joey Bosa . 4

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

5. player. 52. Ramsey is a raw but highly talented defensive back prospect. He could play either cornerback or safety in the NFL. However, Ramsey must clean up his technique and develop a better feel for the position. It’s possible he begins his career working out of the slot– a position he played a lot while at Florida State.. FS. Florida State. Jalen Ramsey

6. Baltimore Ravens

Buckner is a perfect fit for the Baltimore Ravens defensive system. His ability to both play the run and generate some pressure is what Baltimore expects from his defensive ends.. DE. Oregon. Deforest Buckner . 6. player. 26

7. San Francisco 49ers

42. The 49ers need to find a long-term answer at the quarterback position. Goff is a strong fit for Chip Kelly’s system because he has experience running an up-tempo spread attack.. QB. California. Jared Goff . 7. player

8. Philadelphia Eagles

Ezekiel Elliott . 8. player. 54. Elliott is a special talent who will quickly develop into the focal point of the offense. He’s the type of runner capable of both moving the sticks and breaking off long runs.. RB. Ohio State

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Clemson. Shaq Lawson . 9. player. 48. The Buccaneers need someone who can generate pressure off the edge. Shaq Lawson is the top edge rusher and most consistent performer at the position. His wide-array of pass-rush moves is what makes him so dangerous and effective.. DE

10. New York Giants

31. Despite using a 1st round pick on Erik Flowers last year, the Giants still need help along the offensive line. Flowers is a right tackle and was exposed when force to play on the left side. Stanley is a better overall athlete and thus better suited to play left tackle. Adding Stanley would effectively improve several spots along the offensive line by allowing others to move to different positions.. OT. Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley . 10. player

11. Chicago Bears

Vernon Hargreaves III . 11. player. 57. The Bears did a good job during free agency adding pieces that gives them the ability to go best player available in the draft. However, the majority of their needs are on the defensive side of the ball so that’s where they should focus. Hargreaves is a true playmaker who features great ball skills.. CB. Florida

12. New Orleans Saints

DT. Alabama. A'Shawn Robinson . 12. player. 15. New Orleans needs to add some beef along the defensive line and A’Shawn Robinson fills that need. Robinson is a big-bodied defender who excels at stuffing the run. He’s capable of either occupying blockers or shedding to make plays away from his frame. Robinson is a better athlete than most realize and could develop into a solid interior pass rusher.

13. Miami Dolphins

Michigan State. Jack Conklin . 13. player. 59. Miami needs help at several spots along the offensive line. Jack Conklin spent most of his career playing left tackle, but he has the skills needed to play either guard or tackle. The Dolphins could start him out at guard and move him to tackle if/when Brandon Albert gets injured.. OT

14. Oakland Raiders

Houston. William Jackson III . 14. player. 28. Jackson is a long and athletic cornerback. He features good ball skills and the ability to match up with bigger targets. The combination of Jackson and Sean Smith would give the Raiders a strong cornerback duo.. CB

15. Tennessee Titans

Notre Dame. Will Fuller . 15. player. 35. Tennessee could look at someone like Taylor Decker here, but adding a speed threat like Will Fuller might be tough to pass up. Fuller is a home-run threat thanks to his ability to outpace defenders. The more weapons the Titans can give Marcus Mariota the better.. WR

16. Detroit Lions

50. Jarran Reed is a dominating player who is impossible to move off the line of scrimmage. He not only anchors after contact but also features the ability to shed and chase down the ball carrier.. DT. Alabama. Jarran Reed . 16. player

17. Atlanta Falcons

Leonard Floyd is just scratching the surface of his potential and should make a bigger impact in the NFL than he did in college. Georgia asked him to play a more traditional linebacker role rather than unleashing him to attack the quarterback.. OLB. Georgia. Leonard Floyd . 17. player. 44

18. Indianapolis Colts

46. The Colts need to spend most of their draft focusing on improving the offensive line. Taylor Decker is a steady performer who can play either left or right tackle. His addition would go a long way to keeping Andrew Luck healthy and upright.. OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker . 18. player

19. Buffalo Bills

16. Rex Ryan isn’t afraid to take a chance on an elite talent with some off-field concerns. Robert Nkemdiche is a disruptive force with the potential to develop into a double-digit sack guy.. DT. Ole Miss. Robert Nkemdiche . 19. player

20. New York Jets

While in Arizona, Todd Bowles proved that he knows how to make good use of talented defensive backs. Vonn Bell has the coverage ability and instincts to fill multiple roles in the secondary.. SS. Ohio State. Vonn Bell . 20. player. 30

21. Washington Redskins

22. Houston Texans

10. Houston spent a ton of money to bring Brock Osweiler into the mix and now need to surround him with more talent. Josh Doctson is natural playmaker who can attack all parts of the field. His ability to make the tough catches in traffic makes things easier for the quarterback.. WR. TCU. Josh Doctson . 22. player

23. Minnesota Vikings

60. The Vikings need to add some size and consistency at the wide receiver position. Laquon Treadwell would give Teddy Bridgewater a big target and someone to look for in the red zone. Treadwell is also a nice complement to the speedy Stefon Diggs.. WR. Ole Miss. Laquon Treadwell . 23. player

24. Cincinnati Bengals

56. Vontaze Burfict’s future can best be described as cloudy which could force the Bengals to make a change. Reggie Ragland is a tone setter who loves to come up and support the run. His addition would provide some insurance if Burfict doesn’t right the ship, but could also allow Burfict to bump outside thus improving two positions.. ILB. Alabama. Reggie Ragland . 24. player

25. Pittsburgh Steelers

CB. Virginia Tech. Kendall Fuller . 25. player. 55. Pittsburgh needs secondary help in the worst way and can’t go wrong by targeting the playmaking Kendall Fuller. This is a ball-hawking cornerback who is always in position to make a play. His toughness will be something the people in Pittsburgh quickly appreciate.

26. Seattle Seahawks

Hassan Ridgeway . 26. player. 36. Hassan Ridgeway is an underrated player and could quickly be come the most disruptive player from this draft class. He features a strong burst, excellent hand usage and raw power. Ridgeway also brings some versatility as he could play either the 3-technique or nose tackle position.. DT. Texas

27. Green Bay Packers

27. player. 49. The Packers need to add some depth and size along the defensive line. Andrew Billings will provide both as well as someone capable of stuffing the run. He has the ability to step in and contend for the starting nose tackle job.. DT. Baylor. Andrew Billings

28. Kansas City Chiefs

DT. Louisville. Sheldon Rankins . 28. player. 124. Sheldon Rankins has the potential to step in and immediately wreak havoc in the offensive backfield. He’d give Kansas City another defensive line man capable of making things difficult for the opponent by penetrating the pocket and playing the run.

29. Arizona Cardinals

Ryan Kelly . 29. player. 32. Arizona is in a win-now mode which means they really need to look at addressing needs with their picks. The trade to bring in Chandler Jones addresses one issue but weakened the depth along the offensive line. Ryan Kelly is a plug and play prospect who can step in and provide an immediate upgrade at the center position.. C. Alabama

30. Carolina Panthers

30. player. 87. Joseph is a big-hitting safety who has a knack for making impact plays. He features excellent quickness and burst to quickly close on the ball. His aggressive style will fit in nicely with the way Carolina goes about their business.. SS. West Virginia. Karl Joseph

31. Denver Broncos

Paxton Lynch . 31. player. 45. Even if the Broncos work a trade for someone like Colin Kaepernick they need to use an early draft pick on a quarterback. Paxton Lynch has all the physical tools needed to succeed but just needs some time to perfect his craft. Gary Kubiak is the perfect coach to take someone with Lynch’s athleticism and help him develop into a star.. QB. Memphis
