    My bad. I totally looked at the wrong column.

    200 points = pick #78. Mid-3rd.

    I still don't fault Trader Jon here when you look at the big picture.

    He got his guy at the biggest position of need.

    He picked up a 1st in '17, a 3rd in '17. Two 2nds in '16 and a 6th.

    We give up a 4th and 6th this year and a 2nd in '17.

    Maybe someone wants to take the time and look at the value chart on all this but I don't really care as much about point values as Robinson having the ability to move around this draft to get guys who fit what he was hired to create here.

    The extremely obvious answer is Taylor Decker.

    Conklin vs. Decker, a 2nd-round pick next year (for all we know that could be one of those premier RBs that are coming out) and a 3rd-rounder.

    I know which side I prefer.

    Not true at all. I've already said I'll stop harping on the trade if we get a second round pick back. Until then we got a raw deal.

    This old argument? I'm sorry, but a committee of five GoTitans members comprised of myself, Gut, RSB, Esco and SDM could have drafted as well, probably better, than the Titans over the last several years.

    Just pretend he traded a second rounder for a likely top 15 first rounder next year. Bam! Robinson pulled off an unprecedented move!

    I see more holes in Deckers game then I do Conklins, but to each their own... And if one of those premier RB's is that premier next year, they wont last until the 2nd round.

    The obvious answer is Decker at 15. I wouldn't have argued against Doctson either. I think he's going to be what Hunter should have been.

    Based off existing assessments that were publicly available, the value of Conklins cost wasn't there. I understand what @Fry is saying. We paid a lot. Time will have to tell if he's worth.

    And I'm sure we'll pick up enough value with these multiple 2nd round picks to offset the higher price we paid for Conklin and wind up with a good draft. We'll be short one of those potential value loaded 2nd round picks next year.

    Just like that reigning Heisman winner, right? He was scooped up fast in the 1st round last night.

    RBs can fall. The Titans are going to need a new one soon. Guys like Fournette, Cook and Chubb are coming out next year in that looks like a great class.

    If the Titans miss on one because of this Conklin trade, that will really suck.

    Nfltraderumors is reporting the Browns have officially announced the details of the trade and it's a 2017 3rd round pick

    Edit: Went back and looked and now they've retracted that statement haha
