jamesplante11 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) According to Bleacher Report — The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft is for sale. That's according to multiple general managers I spoke with this week. The belief is that in a class that's described as "flat," there is no can't-miss player for the Tennessee Titans to draft at the top of the order. They're willing to move the pick to a team in need of a quarterback. — The general consensus in talking to NFL scouts this week is that a quarterback will go No. 1 overall after someone trades up with the Titans. The most common answer to which player that will be is Cal quarterback Jared Goff. Full story So what would the asking price for #1 overall be? Apparently GM's do not think Goff is going to fall past Cleveland. Hoprfully Jackson and DePodesta do their homework on this one! Maybe sell the #2 before the Titans sell #1 Edited January 22, 2016 by jamesplante11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDAWGS2 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Titans need a lot of things. Better WR and all there RB suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansFan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 According to Bleacher Report — The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft is for sale. That's according to multiple general managers I spoke with this week... Is he really trying to make it seem like he dug up an inside secret from some GMs? Jon Robinson, the Titans' GM, publicly stated they "will look at any and all offers" for the first pick during the press conference this past Monday. Anyway, I think getting a great haul for the first pick will be difficult this year. Teams either have some kind of option at QB currently or are far enough down the board that they'd need to throw a lot of early round picks in the deal, which I think teams are scared to do anymore after RG3. Some of the one's I've heard thrown around (in draft order): Dallas (4) - have Romo but need a backup/future guy, can't see it happening here though San Francisco (7) - will they stick with Kaepernick? If not, this seems most likely Chicago (11) - similar to Dallas though bit more likely because it's Cutler, gap could be costly Philadelphia (13) - really starting to get into the tough range, but they don't have a 2nd round pick this year making it much more difficult Los Angeles (15) - They have more ammo via Philly's 2nd round pick, but jumping 15 to 1 is a big gap to overcome Houston (22) - I don't think they would be willing to part with what it would cost to jump that far Considering the Bills gave up two 1sts and a 3rd to go from 9 to 4 a couple years ago, I think two 1sts and a 2nd from the 49ers would be acceptable, though I don't know if they'd be willing to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesplante11 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think I'd sell a top 3 pick any day if I could get 2 #1s and a 2 or 3 every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Cleveland should move up to block any other team from getting Goff. How much to swap 1 & 2 with the Titans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud29 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) good post. Isn't the #1 pick on the block every year? I think the "will look through any and all offers" line is used every year. People are reading into that more than usual this year, since there's no clear-cut #1 pick for a team that is set at QB. Wouldn't surprise me if TN ends up trading down, but I wouldn't count on it either. Tunsil is a rock-solid OT and makes a lot of sense for that shaky OL. Goff is good, but not the prospect Winston/Mariota were last year IMO. Not sure how many teams will want to pay the price to move up and get him. I think a swap with Cleveland might be the most realistic trade right now, if the Browns are afraid that someone is going to leapfrog them. Titans still get their guy (Tunsil) and some extra draft capital in the process. Edited January 23, 2016 by bud29 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Saying Goff wont fall past #2 at this point means nothing. Could easily change in the next 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think I'd sell a top 3 pick any day if I could get 2 #1s and a 2 or 3 every year It depends on the top of the class. So far, I'd say this year you definitely do that, but probably not last year. It also depends on your QB situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Is Goff really worth the risk even for the Browns at #2? I know they need a QB, but they need many other things and I keep hearing he isn't on par with Winston or Mariota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesplante11 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 At the moment, I don't think he's worth a #2. Unfortunately he's the best QB in the draft, so he will be dubbed franchise material. Luckily this time around the Browns have a few intelligent pieces to make the call.

jkraft896 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Honestly, if I am the Browns I shore up some other position this year. The chances they make some huge turnaround in one season is pretty unlikely. Stumble through next season and try to get DeShaun Watson. If he looks as good as he did this year, next season he will be a pretty hot commodity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Saw something on the news last night about the Senior Bowl, and how QB Carson Wentz is now a hot prospect, probably a top 10 pick.

stevegrab Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Can anybody confirm for me, 2nd round of NFL draft is still 1 - TEN 2 - CLE or do they flip flop each round? (recall this happening recently, maybe for CLE, but that was because a coin flip was used to break the tie in standing, while TEN and CLE both finished 3-13 I thought another tie breaker gave TEN the last place finish in NFL.) A local sports writer said Browns have 2 and 32 picks in the draft, I know NE has no first round pick, so the 2.01 is pick 32.

When teams have the same record in the draft, each team moves up one pick in each successive round with the top of the group falling to the back. So for two teams (like TEN/CLE) they just swap every round, so CLE picks first in round 2. For three or more (like JAC/BAL/SF) they rotate as I described (so JAC/BAL/SF round 1, BAL/SF/JAC round 2, SF/JAC/BAL round 3, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guess I'm confusing tie breaking for playoff seeding vs. draft order where they rotate the tied teams like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
