The odds of the Tennessee Titans trading the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft may be better than originally thought.
According to SI’s Peter King in Monday’s edition of the MMQB, he places the odds of the Titans trading the pick at 50-50, and there has been “significant interest” in the pick.
If the Titans keep the pick, King says to expect offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil or defensive back Jalen Ramsey to be the pick, but King would not be surprised if the pick gets moved. He cited the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles as teams that could overpay for the top pick, potentially in search of a quarterback.
Titans GM Jon Robinson has previously said that it would take a “king’s ransom” to compel the team to move the pick. Perhaps there are indications that someone is willing to go that route, or perhaps this is all a smokescreen.
