The Los Angeles Rams selected Jared Goff with the first pick of the NFL Draft as the franchise prepares for a new era. The Rams are relocating from St Louis ahead of the 2016 season and they made a big splash earlier this month when trading multiple picks to the Tennessee Titans for the first selection in the rookie draft. Goff v Wentz Profiling the first and second picks of the NFL Draft Most assumed the trade was made to add a quarterback - either Goff or Carson Wentz - and confirmation came on Thursday when commissioner Roger Goodell announced California product Goff as the opening pick of the first round in Chicago. Just truly a dream come true, Goff said. Im taking it as an honour and Im going to have to prove them right, that they made the right decision.If youre a first-round quarterback, theres going to be pressure regardless. Im very excited, very ready to go, ready for the challenge. Carson Wentz will kick off his professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles The Philadelphia Eagles also traded up to get hold of the second pick, knowing they would get whichever quarterback the Rams passed on - North Dakota States Wentz as it predictably turned out. Carson Wentz talks to Richard Graves about his selection by the Philadelphia Eagles Im happy to be an Eagle, said Wentz. Im bringing it. Theyre getting a passionate player. Im pumped to be an Eagle and ready to go to work.The rest of the draft was less predictable, starting with the San Diego Chargers passing on Laremy Tunsil and instead selecting defensive lineman Joey Bosa. Laremy Tunsil was finally able to celebrate being selected when Miami picked him 13th Tunsils drop would continue all the way to the 13th pick, where the Miami Dolphins selected him to bring an end to a night that had seen his stock affected by a social media post. Sky Sports presenter and Miami Dolphins fan Neil Reynolds reacts to the controversial pick of Laremy Tunsil The offensive tackle was shown in a video with a gas mask on, smoking through what appeared to be a bong, and it led to a number of teams removing him from their draft board completely. Laremy Tunsil drops to number 13 pick after a video is posted on twitter of him apparently smoking something through a gas mask After being picked by the Dolphins, he said: It was a mistake. It happened years ago, like I said before. Somebody hacked my Twitter account and thats how it got on there.Its a crazy world. Things happen for a reason. Im glad to be in Miami.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tamba Hali signed a three-year contract to remain with the Kansas City Chiefs this spring under the assumption that the aging linebacker would become a part-time pass-rush specialist.Hali had better be prepared for regular work.The Chiefs placed fellow linebackers Justin Houston on the physically unable to perform list and Josh Mauga on injured reserve Tuesday as they trimmed down to the NFLs 75-player roster limit. Houston is slowly recovering from knee surgery in February and Mauga will have surgery on his hip next week.Its all up to the coaches, said Hali, who turns 33 in November and is coming off his own knee surgery. If he wants me in there more, Im in there more.Hali was reduced to playing only in games last season, the pain and swelling in his balky left knee too much to deal with in practice. The offseason procedure was supposed to clean everything up, but Hali acknowledged Tuesday that he will probably play through pain the rest of his career.Not that its anything new. Hali remembered playing nose tackle at Penn State with two high ankle sprains. It was torture at the time, he said, but taught him to be mentally strong.Ive played through a lot of pain. Its just part of the game, he said. Brainwash sounds like a bad term, but its a good term in my eyes. The way I was bred, I learned how to work through it.Houston is not expected to return until late this season, if at all -- he is due to be examined again by Dr. James Andrews in early October. And that means Kansas City will be desperate for Hali to provide some kind of pass rush. He may not have 14 1/2 sacks like Hali had during his heyday, but replicating the six or so sacks hes had each of the past two seasons is reasonable.It would help if the pass rusher on the opposite side helped out.The Chiefs are hopeful that former first-round pick Dee Ford takes a big step forward. He has been a liability in pass coverage and against the run, but has flashed some ability to get to the quarterback.Hes a better player now than he was at the end of last year, Chiefs linebackers coach Gary Gibbs said. Hes more physical and has a better grasp of the defense.Maugas injury means that the sstarting spot alongside Derrick Johnson opens in the middle of the Kansas City defense.dddddddddddd. Justin March and Ramik Wilson have been battling for that spot.Mauga tore the labrum in his hip in early August. He will have surgery on Sept. 8.The Chiefs also waived wide receiver Mitch Matthews, getting them to 76 players by Tuesdays deadline. The limit is normally 75, but Kansas City got a roster exemption for All-Pro safety Eric Berry, their franchise player who reported to camp for the first time Sunday.The Chiefs play their preseason finale Thursday night against Green Bay, then have to trim to the 53-man roster limit Saturday. Their season opener is Sept. 11 against San Diego.In other news, Jamaal Charles said he will be ready for the opener, even though Reid admitted that Hali was a little ahead of the running back in his recovery. Charles had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee last season, and along with Hali skipped the first part of training camp.I am going full-go right now. Im out here. Im practicing, Charles said. I could be doing something else, sitting on a coach, watching TV, so Im happy to be out there with my teammates.It remains unclear exactly how much work Charles will get this season. The Chiefs got by so well with Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware when Charles got hurt last season that they signed both to long-term contracts, though each of them have slightly different skill sets.Charles remains the most polished, versatile of the running back trio.Im just happy Im out here, Charles said. Every day is different. I just have to trust when I step on the field, preseason or no preseason, I just got to trust the process.Game notes Few starters, if any, are expected to play against the Packers. Third-string QB Tyler Bray will start the game and Aaron Murray and Kevin Hogan will also play. ... The Chiefs waived-injured FB Trey Millard, who tore his ACL in a preseason game against the Rams. He had surgery Monday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
