Ten teams who could trade for Tennessee Titans 1st round pick
By Will Lomas
With the draft hours away, what will the cost be for the Tennessee Titans draft picks?
It is time. Today is the day where Tennessee Titans GM Trader Jon (Robinson) makes his money, the 2017 NFL Draft.
It is no secret exactly what Robinson want to do today, he wants to move down and collect picks. At this point, the secret is which teams want those picks, and what he can get for them.
Between the two first round picks, I have found 10 teams that could be in heavy talks with the Tennessee Titans today. Some are more likely than others, but Jon Robinson will listen to them all.

These are the 10 teams I could see trading for a Tennessee Titans draft pick, along with who they want and what the starting point should be.
For the 5th pick
New York Jets
Who they want: Leonard Fournette, Mitch Trubisky, O.J. Howard
Starting price: 6th and 107th overall picks (3rd round)
-The New York Jets need to address offense and get a solid building block for that team. I don’t know who they want, but I know that the Tennessee Titans could have offers for both Trubisky and Fournette.
That means that if the Jets actually want him they will have to outbid another team in a swap.
O.J. Howard gets a mention because if the Tennessee Titans don’t move, he could be someone they like. If the Jets want him and the Titans have another player rated as high they could swap.

Cincinnati Bengals
Who they want: Solomon Thomas, Fournette
Starting price: 5th and 83rd overall pick (3rd round) in exchange for the 9th and 41st overall picks (2nd round)
-The Bengals desperately need help on the edge and Thomas is a dream come true for them. If he is there at 5, he probably won’t be there by 7.
Buffalo Bills
Who they want: Trubisky, Wide Receiver
Starting price: 10th and 44th overall pick
-The Bills are torn. On one hand they really have no faith in Tyrod Taylor at QB and want another option, and their man is Mitch Trubisky.
On the other hand, if they trade for him who will he throw to? There is almost no one on that roster with and real ability at wide receiver. If they want to sit Trubisky a year and build an offense around him first, fine.
If instead they want to jump the Bengals who could be looking at wide receiver if Thomas and Fournette are gone, then they could make a move here.
Cleveland Browns
Who they want: Trubisky, Jonathan Allen, Solomon Thomas
Starting price: 12 and 33 overall pick (2nd round)
-The Browns seem to desperately want Trubisky, so the Tennessee Titans are going to demand a great pick because he could be gone at 6.
If the Browns freak out and take Trubisky at 1, then they could try to get a close facsimile of Garret/Trubisky by getting Trubisky/Thomas or Trubisky/Allen.

For the 18th pick
Denver Broncos
Who they want: Garrett Bolles
Starting price: 20th and 101st overall pick (3rd round)
-The Broncos desperately need a left tackle and Bolles is a guy they love by all accounts. If he is someone they view as a true LT then they need to make a move before the Buccaneers take him at 19.
Detroit Lions
Who they want: Any linebacker
Starting price: 21st and 85th
There has been a lot of talk that the Lions really want to find someone to help them at the linebacker position. A guy like Reuben Foster could make a lot of sense here.
Another option is Haason Reddick if the NFL isn’t read to jump on him in the top 20.
Miami Dolphins
Who they want: Forrest Lamp
Starting price: 22nd and 54th (2nd round)
-Reports are that unless a great DB falls, both the Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens really like Forrest Lamp.
With all the mock drafts saying the Titans could be looking at Forrest Lamp at 18 (which makes no sense) it could be a smokescreen to try and force teams wanting Lamp to move up above the Buccaneers.
New York Giants
Who they want: Any OT at all
Starting price: 23rd and 55th (2nd round)
-The Giants have deep playoff run potential on offense and defense, their issue is that they can’t run the ball because of the OL. They also need to worry about an aging Eli Manning getting killed by a division poised to load up at pass rusher.
If the Giants are going to make another push, they need to protect Eli.
Seattle Seahawks
Who they want: Any OL
Starting price: 26th and 58th
-Remember how the Seahawks were poised for another great year, and then Russell Wilson got hurt in the opening weeks? A team that was one play away from back to back Super Bowl wins lost to the L.A. Rams.
They need to finally admit it to themselves that they need to invest in OL to protect their QB.
Kansas City Chiefs
Who they want: Patrick Mahomes
Starting price: 27th and 59th
-If the Chiefs are going to really do something in the playoffs they need a game changing quarterback. You could let Alex Smith play for one more year and then auction him off at the end of the season.
That would give you time to develop a more raw Mahomes, while also maximizing the talent your team has now.
