    The only player I see us maybe trading up for, if he slides down far enough, is Tunsil...if he gets to #6-8. Aside from that, we''l probably stick with what we have and take Decker or Stanley (if he slides that far) at #15.

    The Giants need a big WR opposite of Beckham, seeing that they lost Randle in FA and Cruz is a big ? They could take a OT, but they need a WR just as bad and they also might nab RB Elliot if he gets to #10.

    The Saints need tons of help on the defensive side of the ball. Don't see them taking an OT there. Chicago is in the same boat. Needs are mainly on the defensive side of the ball.

    I do not think the Titans move up in the draft.....it took a lot of guts to trade down from 1 to 15. Losing some of those additional picks to move up just does not make since. If that were the case, just trade with the Eagles ( if the rumors were true) instead of the Rams. I think the draft grades on Tunsil, Stanley, Conklin, and Decker were so close that Robinson will be happy with any of those players at 15. If Goff would somehow slide to 15, the Titans would trade down again and a statue of Robinson would be erected in front of the stadium.

    Like others have said, it does not make sense to get the picks we did just to use most of them to move back into the top 10. If that was the case, then just stay at 1 or trade it to the Eagles.

    It only takes swapping #15 for #7 and the #45 pick to have equal chart value for us to swap our 1st's with 49ers. ( We still net an extra 2nd and 3rd (swap for 4th and 6th) and next year's 1st and 3rd's. And if we get Tunsil or Ramsey which was our reported original target- WOW. GM COUP!

    Still an impressive move even if we don't trade up.

    It makes plenty of sense to trade back up if a guy you love falls some as long as you don't pay more than the trade value chart to make the move.

    If we stayed at #1 and took Ramsey we would be paying 3000 points for him...if we trade back up to #3 with the Bolts and get Ramsey then we are getting him for 2200 points...and still have 800 points left over (next yrs picks)

    The best thing about the trade out was that it was done with the Rams who we know will be no better than 8-8 since Fisher is the coach.

    Eagles don't have a 2nd round pick to make that deal work, Rams did. Ironically it came from the Eagles in the Bradford trade last year.
    I was hoping a drop to 7 would be all we did.
    A move up makes sense if someone drops we like.
    Doesn't sound like JR is done dealing

    Draft: Even after blockbuster deal, Titans trying to trade into the top 10

    So who is the best pass rusher in this draft....besides Ramsey and Tunsil that would be the only other player that I would look to trade back up for...but is their one guy that is that much better than all the rest.

    In my mind Myles Jack is the only other player that I would be willing to trade back into the top 10 for. He has the crazy athleticism that allows a DC to move him all over the place. He can cover TEs and he can get after the QB.

    Maybe if Buckner falls in the 6-10 range. I don't see that happening though.

    Ramsey and Buckner will be the only ones I would trade up for. I'm still questioning Tunsil because of his injury history, but if he falls within that same 6-10 range, yea go get him.

    I still think our only option would be Dallas... and it's still going to take alot..

    Outside of Dallas, I think it's going to take another LA trade... another "kings ransom" but this time coming from US.... to pop back in the top 10... let alone. 5.
