Trade out of No.1 w/ LA Rams?

A look at three trade scenarios for Tennessee Titans and No. 1 pick - Tennessee Titans Blog- ESPN

"TRADE WITH RAMS

Titans give up No. 1.

Rams give up No. 15, No. 43 (second round), No. 45 (second round) and next year’s first-round pick. (I valued it right in the middle, at No. 16.)

Did you not read the article from ESPN about what REALISTIC trade values would be, for each prospective trade partner? It mentioned there were different charts and that Jimmy Johnson's chart tended to be on the high side. The trade parameters I mentioned in the original post, without the advantage of using any charts, happened to be spot on with the chart Kuharsky referred to.

Who is to say we wouldn't have settled for that amount, if that was the best the Rams or anyone else offered? We were fortunate that they felt desperate enough to offer more, but if the best that was offered was their 2 second rounds and their 1st next year, I'm sure Robinson would have thought long and hard about it.

Also, when I posted this, I had no idea the Eagles would have the interest they had. After all, they just paid Bradford like one of the premiere starters in this league, with a 2yr contract. And then brought over Chase Daniels with a decent contract of his own. It only came to light a few weeks ago that Philly was still very interested in Wentz. Trade offers are based on demand and outbidding other teams. When I first made the post, Cleveland, the Rams and Houston were the only teams known to be in the market for a QB. So, it didn't appear that there would be a huge demand to trade.

It was also before Wentz and Goff had their Pro Days. They impressed and that drove their value up.

 

He didn't just say "I disagree." He was a total a$$ about it. So, yeah....I enjoyed giving it back to him; though he's still trying to squirm his way out of it. Same thing many did when giving me a hard time about wanting Mariota, last year.

Most here wanted us to take Leonard Williams or trade the pick...even TitanJeff. He/They wanted to give Mettenberger another chance. Mettenberger has been an unmitigated disaster. At least Mariota gives you hope that we could pull off a win or be very competitive. If we had listened to that crowd, this past season would have been the ugliest season in recorded football history.
