In the explanations below, (PD) indicates trades completed prior to the start of the draft (i.e. Pre-Draft), while (D) denotes trades that took place during the 2017 draft.

If the Rams receives a compensatory selection in the third round of the 2017 draft, the third-round pick sent to Tennessee will be the compensatory selection, not the standard third-round pick assigned to the Rams; otherwise, Tennessee will receive the Rams' regular third-round pick, and Tennessee's seventh-round pick will go to the Rams.[source 1]
