Last year, the Titans made a round-one trade that prompted coach Mike Vrabel to show visible agitation. This year, there could be a round-one move that makes him much happier.
Drat expert Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com recently suggested on his podcast that the Titans could spring from No. 11 to No. 3.
“Can I give you the team that I have been told to keep an eye on that’s exploring this and looking into this?” Jeremiah said, via Buck Reising of AtoZSports.com. “Again, this is just people around the league who said, ‘Do not sleep on Numero 11.’ The Tennessee Titans. The two teams to keep an eye on with the trade-ups were the Raiders and the Titans.”
It’s unclear whether the Titans would be targeting what like would be the third quarterback off the board. But the purpose of the move to No. 3 would be to leapfrog AFC South rival Indianapolis.
We’ve suggested that someone not in the top 10 could be exploring a move to No. 3, in order to land Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. Last year, the Titans used a third-round pick on quarterback Malik Willis. But Vrabel benched Willis late in the season for Josh Dobbs, after starter Ryan Tannehill was injured.
