Hypothetical trade scenario

2.  I would usually not be in favor of giving up a 4th round pick just to move up 2 spots.  I am guessing that there won't be much difference between a WR available at 22 and one available at 24.

1. Prior to the trade, a decent number of "experts" were projecting the Rams to actually draft a WR since they were sitting in an odd spot for taking a QB. And then they had Rams taking a QB in the second round.
But now, with jumping up to #1, it definitely means the Rams will take a QB (reportedly leaning Goff), which should (likely) reduce the number of WRs taken prior to #24.

2. I'm with you. No need to give up a 4th rounder to move up two spots, as the talent is near equal (just slightly different pros/cons). Instead, it would probably be better to trade back to 30-40 to get an extra mid-round pick and still get a receiver of comparable talent.
