2017 NFL Draft Titans reportedly have of

The day before the 2017 NFL Draft, in the first round Thursday night. Several of those deals featured teams trading up to grab the No. 5 overall pick, a highly coveted selection. More NFL Draft This appears to be fairly prescient (perhaps you prefer obvious?) because, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Chris Wideman Kids Jersey there have been multiple teams who have contacted the and made offers for No. 5. And, according to Schefter, a, Tenne see is contemplating another trade down in the draft. Sounds like Titans are at it again. Already have received offers for fifth overall pick and are contemplating trade, per league source. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) First, let's remember that Titans GM Jon Robinson comes from New England, where trading down isn't just an approach, it's a lifestyle. Second, let's consider that there isn't a more tradeable piece in this draft than the No. 5 pick. We all know is going No. 1 overall. The 49ers (2) and (3) want to trade out, but there might not be anyone willing to pay the price required to move up to either spot. In , I floated a trade for the to get to No. 2, but it is an expensive proposition for Cleveland. It would be much more palatable for the Browns to make a swap with the Titans. swap, actually, since the two teams Rickard Rakell Kids Jersey engaged in flipping picks during the first round of last year's draft; the Titans traded down to 15 with the Rams, while the Browns traded down to No. 8 with the . They then flipped those two picks in a deal that included many selections, including No. 52 in this year's draft. Whew. And Cleveland isn't the only team that might want to make a move up to No. 5. Let's examine a few of the prospects for trading up. Cleveland BrownsThe most obvious team, because they want to make a move up and get Mitchell Trubisky if he falls through the 49ers, Bears and . Cleveland wants a quarterback and coming away from the first half of the first round with Garrett and Trubisky would be considered a home run for the front office. If they can pull it off without giving up a future first-round pick or even without giving up No. 33 overall () it would be a grand slam. Both Sean McDermott and Terry Pegula were spotted hanging out in Chapel Hill for a workout involving Trubisky. They have a good situation for Josh Manson Kids Jersey the North Carolina quarterback, as can start in 2017 and they can ease Trubisky in beginning in 2018. The Bills are also keenly aware -- just like everyone else -- of the Browns' interest, meaning they cannot Trevor Zegras Men Jersey expect Trubisky simply to fall to them at No. 11. Cleveland has too much capital not to make a trade up work at some point from picks 6-10. This is the best way for the Titans to extract a future first-round pick, by leveraging the Browns against the Bills and demanding next year's first. Everyone is fully aware the Browns will be trying to trade up. I can now update my report yesterday: The Browns have contacted at least four teams with top 8 picks about po sibly moving up from 12. Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) This one is a little le s likely because the Jets are at No. 6 overall. But the Jets could potentially be staring down a quarterback they really want and call the Titans and say "hey we'll buy these other teams out and you won't have to drop as far." Again, a little bit of a longer shot for these teams to flip one spot, but if the Jets wanted to ensure they get a quarterback (either Trubisky or ), it would be entirely po sible that they ask Tenne see to drop one spot. The offers from other teams would need to be pretty low if the Titans were willing to do that. A very unlikely scenario as well, but imagine for a second that the Titans are on the clock and not Ryan Miller Men Jersey only is Trubisky there, but so is after the Jaguars took at No. 4 (in a hypothetical). The Panthers like the idea of , sure, but getting Thomas would dramatically improve the defense. I don't think Dave Gettleman is a candidate to move up, but I also don't think Thomas will be sitting there at No. 5. If he is, things could change.
