Pros, cons and hard truths about a potential Jalen Ramsey trade for Tennessee Titans
By Will Lomas
Is a deal worth it for the Tennessee Titans?
This is the real question. To get a feel on what a cost could look like, this is the latest baseline we have.
There are teams interested in trading with the Jacksonville Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey. This is what I am told has been offered so far: a 1st in 2020 & 5th in 2021 from an NFC Team and a 1st in 2020 & a player from an AFC Team

The AFC team is most likely the Kansas City Chiefs or the Oakland Raiders, but if is the Titans lets just say for the sake of numbers that the Titans are offering Adoree Jackson and a 1st round pick in 2020 for Ramsey.
Is the upgrade from Butler, Ryan, Jackson to Ramsey, Butler, Ryan, THAT big of an upgrade? One that is worth a 2020 1st round pick?
I just don’t know. I mean if it were an area where the Titans were struggling and a player with a similar body of work, the deal would be a no brainer. But you hate to give up a chance at a great player to make a strength a little bit stronger, right?
Then again, playing devil’s advocate how many 1st round picks in the last decade have turned out as well as Jalen Ramsey? I mean, the guy is about to turn 25 years old and can potentially make his 2nd All-Pro list this year. How many players will ever make an All-Pro list from next year’s draft, much less make one in their first two years?
