    I think it's either trade up for Berry or Joe Haden, or trade down. I've read all the threads and all the sites about the DEs and I've watched lots of college football. So many around our area at DE seem to have near equal pro's and con's. (I don't want Dunlap, not at 16)

    Or maybe I just like the chaotic nature of trades. Berry at 7, 8, 10, we need to make some calls and see what it will take. Haden at 10-15 same thing. If we can't do that, lets trade down. Get Mount Cody and some other decently ranked guy.

    I just don't see anyone predicted at 16 that makes me think "instant upgrade awesome the Titans draft this guy and no one else!"

    I've never understood trading down. Why give up the chance to get someone "better" to get more "average" players?

    I hear people saying "There's no one on the board we want"..so..someone you want will magically show up later?

    If anything, we need to trade up for Berry if he falls past 5. Trading down just seems stupid, it's like you're not even trying.

    I don't think we're in a position to do much trading in the draft. At least not up.

    If were going to trade, I'd rather trade down and get some one's 2nd rounder.

    I'd be slightly disappointed if we took Haden at 16 over Kyle Wilson, so I'm against trading up for him. I'd be all for getting Berry, but he would have to fall to 9 or 10 for it to even be possible in my opinion. I doubt he will fall that far, but crazier things have happened.

    I love our spot at 16. Perfect place for Kyle Wilson. Wouldn't mind trading down a few spots... to like 19 (right b4 texans). Take Kyle Wilson and get an extra 4th?

    Well, Would you have rather been the guy who drafted Ryan Leaf or the guy who drafted Tom Brady? Just because they are graded high doesn't mean they will turn out to be great.

    I'd rather trade down and get some picks, especially if D-Line is what we're after. Otherwise, Wilson could probably be had at 16, and I wouldn't be disappointed with Thomas. I really hope we don't draft Dunlap. If we trade up, it better be to get Suh or Berry.

    Vince Young is the only player I can remember the Titans drafting that they were actually predicted to draft. For better or worse, it will probably be another WTF pick. "In the first round of the draft, pick 16, the Tennessee Titans select cornerback Devin McCourty".

    I think we could trade down 2-3 spots, get Kyle Wilson. Also pick up a 4th round pick, which would be perfect for an extra LB. Problem is, who wants to trade up a few spots?

    First off there's no guarantee a higher pick is "better". The odds of having a drafting a great player increase with more picks. See Ditka and The Saints who traded their entire draft to Washington to PU Ricky Williams.. By trading down Washington got Champ Bailey and Lavarr Arrington and many more..\

    Has TN ever traded up? I do not recall.
