    Yes, I know another trade idea. I'm just thinking out loud (and typing it).

    So basically alot of people think the Titans should trade down. Well they're two specific teams looking to trade up; Packers and Eagles (according to Adam Schefters twitter). This is exactly what he says, "Packers, Eagles have expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range. But it could depend on how board falls. Good prospects everywhere." Notice how he says it could depend on how board falls, so if the player that the Eagles or Packers are eyeing fall to 16, we should make a trade. Packers and Eagles have the 23rd and 24th pick (Eagles also have 2 2nd round picks).

    So for example, the Eagles trade their 2010 1st and 2010 2nd (later 2nd) for the Titans 2010 1st round and 2011 6th.

    The Titans now have: 24th pick in the draft and 55th.
    With the 24th pick we could draft Everson Griffen, Devin McCourtey, or Jerry Hughes.

    But how bout this for a twist, the Browns like Colt McCoy. Rumor has it that he may be a late 1st rounder. The Browns have 38th pick, and 3 3rds. So why not then trade the 24th pick for a 2nd, 3rd, and later round.

    The Titans now have: 2 2nds and 3 3rds.

    What do you guys think about that? Has a 5% chance of happening, but who knows.

    Sounds good, maybe it happens. Griffen is the guy I'm eying, but not at 16 no way. Only way I'd pursue him would be to trade that 16th for something later.

    I like the idea of trading back to get more picks but not if there's still a defensive stud on the board.

    If JPP or Morgan are on the board at 16 then I think we should take em.

    i'd be ok, not thrilled, with the eagles trade. i would hate trading outside of the first round though.

    For example our draft could go:
    1st 2nd - Arrelious Benn
    2nd 2nd - LaMarr Houston
    1st 3rd - Brandon Ghee
    2nd 3rd - Corey Wootton
    3rd 3rd - Thaddeus Gibson

    We would get 5 good players in the draft.

    Or we could even use a 2nd/3rd for a Big Al trade?

    I don't care how we trade, but I really hope we have a 1st rounder. Trading down to 23 or 24 is a little low, but we could get some other good picks by doing that. Maybe the Packers and Eagles want the same player and will get in a bidding war for our pick :greedy:.

    I swear not having a 2nd round pick really deflates the draft. Usually i'm really excited about the draft, but i hate the idea of not having a 2nd this year.

    we do have a second round pick, his name jared cook. the only difference is he's been on the team for a year.

    If we took Devin McCourty in the 1st I would find a new sqaud to root for

    I'll be pissed if there's no Titans news Thursday night. The Titans better be involved in the prime time draft premier.
