2016 NFL Mock Draft, Tennessee Titans trade
By Will Lomas
The Tennessee Titans are in a prime position to make a big move and still grab some great players. Here is one scenario that I think is increasingly likely the more I hear and read.

2016 NFL Mock Draft
Trade!
-Dallas Cowboys receive the 1st overall 2016 NFL Draft pick
-Tennessee Titans receive 4th pick, 34th pick, 67th pick, 2017 1st round pick
1. Dallas Cowboys- Carson Wentz QB, North Dakota State
According to the draft value chart on Draft Tek, this is a fair trade assuming that the Cowboys pick someone in the mid to late “teens” next year which seems about right.
2. Cleveland Browns- Jared Goff QB, Cal
3. San Diego Chargers- Laremy Tunsil OT, Ole Miss
4. Tennessee Titans- Jalen Ramsey CB/S, FSU
The Tennessee Titans have a big need in the secondary and this is the perfect move, in fact it almost makes too much sense, think about it:
-Jalen Ramsey is a guy with great character who seems poised for a great career both as a player and a leader.
-He is a team first guy who wasn’t intimidated 0r upset when he had to change out of his natural safety position last year.
-He is incredibly versatile and can be a facsimile of Troy Polamalu in Dick LeBeau’s defense.
-He is eerily similar to Devin McCourty who Jon Robinson drafted during his time in New England.
-He and Robinson are both guys born in Tennessee who were raised watching Tennessee football, so make sense for Ramsey to be “his guy”.
-Robinson gets his value to draft a player that I am sure he will love anyway. Classic New England style win-win.
Honestly, I am not sure that this won’t be the pick number one overall anyway.

31. Carolina Panthers- Tyler Boyd WR, Pitt
32. Cleveland Browns- Leonard Floyd EDGE, UGA
33. Tennessee Titans- Josh Doctson WR, TCU
I will go out on a limb and say that I believe that Doctson will be the best receiver to come out of this class. His ability to track the ball in the air and to high point is as good as anyone I have seen since Mike Evans.
Doctson is 6’3″ and while he is a little slight he is exactly what people wanted Justin Hunter to be. The biggest difference is his hands. He is a huge reason why Trevone Boykin was such a huge success. His ability to come back to the ball, find ways to break out of coverage and to most importantly catch the ball with his great hands, are all things that the Titans desperately need.
34. Tennessee Titans- Taylor Decker OT, Ohio State
Some people are very high on Decker and believe that he will go in the first round. However, I think that people will be scared off Urban Myers’s offense and the fact that having a moving quarterback made everyone think that Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews were going to be blue chip tackles in the NFL.
I like Decker and I think this is a fair slot for him. With the combine coming up and the Senior Bowl already on us, this is the time when players “shoot up boards” and I think this is a solid resting place for Decker.
Fast forward
67. Tennessee Titans- Joshua Garnett G, Stanford
Last year, the 3rd guard came off the board at 67 and I expect that to happen again this year. The Titan have fixed their issues at offensive tackle, defensive back and wide receiver and the only other glaring hole for this team is interior offensive line.
Garnett is an absolute mauler and I think he has a chance to be one of the best guards in this draft easily. He and Taylor Lewan both share the attacking mindset that this offensive line needs and between he and Lewan on the left side and Chance Warmack and Decker on the right, the Titans can grab a center in free agency (which I expect them to do) like Alex Mack, and have one of the best offensive line in football next year to protect Marcus Mariota.
