Many have us trading out for a second and a fifth pick. Most mock drafts have Jake Fromm going early in the second....do we take him as backup to Tanny? We basically can fill DL, OT, CB with our remaining picks.
Trading out of the 1st into the early 2nd should net us a 3rd round pick at least. Not just a 5th.
B/R suggests this trade which I would take:
Titans Trade Round 1 Pick in 2020 (No. 29 Overall) to Cleveland Browns for Round 2 Pick in 2020 (No. 41 Overall), Round 3 Pick in 2020 (No. 74 Overall) and Round 5 Pick in 2021.
I was thinking our first for a second and 4th or 5th pick.
Here's my mock using only players we have visited with:
1.29 CB Damon Arnette
2.29 DL Marlon Davidson
3.29 RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn
5.14 ED Alton Robinson
7.01 CB Amik Robertson
7.13 WR Malcolm Perry
7.19 DL Alex Highsmith
1.29 CB Damon Arnette
2.29 DL Marlon Davidson
3.29 RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn
5.14 ED Alton Robinson
7.01 CB Amik Robertson
7.13 WR Malcolm Perry
7.19 DL Alex Highsmith
Upgrade at OG and CB and a kicker and 2 future 3rds and depth on the lines.Every other need can be met with cheap free agents. Would love th iui s draft.
I think the best available player at 29 will be Jones....I cant see JR or Vrabel taking a CB at 29, simply because we can get the same quality in round 2. Jones is too good to pass up, especially when we have a void at tackle.
I could see that happening depending on how the draft falls... Jones is actually my 2nd highest tackle on my board....I just think in todays NFL his light feet give him an edge in my book over Wills, Becton, Thomas.....but I won't complain if we decide to take one of the OTs because of the value.
Did a mock draft, and if it falls like this I would gladly take it.
Did Robertson get a sexual assault charge today or something?
Traded with Miami, our 1st, next year's 3rd, and a 7th....got back a 2nd and 3rd.
No he hasn’t. All of JRob’s 1st round picks have played right away (exception being the Simmons injury).
Exactly what i was thinking.
I wouldn't be mad at that draft at all...i doubt we draft OL before CB, but hey you never know. 2 more days
This is my final mock before the draft Thursday. I believe this is the most realistic mock I've made to this point.

With our first pick, we had a lot of guys we liked on the board. We felt confident that we'd be able to trade down and still be able to get one of our guys. We also really liked the depth in this draft, so when the Chargers decided they wanted to move up for their QB, we felt it was a perfect opportunity for us.
We were lucky to have our guy still sitting there at 37. Ross Blacklock is a great football player, and his personality is a perfect fit for what we're trying to build here. We liked Jordan Elliot here too, but Blacklock has a certain level of ferocity that you don't see every day. That along with his athleticism, size, technique and professionalism are all reasons why we're extremely excited about this pick. He and Jeffrey Simmons will wreak havoc together for a long time.
We feel ike we got our guy at pick 61 as well. We knew there would be some corners sitting here seeing that the draft was extremely deep at the position. When Damon Arnette was still here, we were elated. We watched alot of ohio state tape, and this guy is just an extremely impressive football player. His coverage skills are some of the best in this draft. His 4.57 40 is a bad reflection of his on-field speed. He can tackle, and he's tough as nails(played most last season through a wrist injury). He's also got pretty good size at 6 ft 195 lbs. We also liked Cam Dantlzer and Amik Robertson here. Dantzler went off the board right before our pick. We liked Robertson ALOT, but we feel Arnette was just a better fit here for what our team needs right now. A bigger corner who can play inside or out.
At pick 93 Cam Akers kind of just fell in our lap. We had a feeling one of our top RBs could fall here, and when he did we couldn't have been happier. He's a do it all kind of RB that could not only be a perfect compliment to Derrick, but could also carry the load on his own if asked to do so. We considered going OT here, but we couldn't pass on Cam. We were also very intrigued by Antonio Gibson, but we think Cam is a better fit and better all around RB.
Pick 112(via LAC). We once again were looking at OT, but Brycen Hopkins was the highest guy on the board. Everyone knows his family's history with our organization. He also fills a need, so we felt really good about this pick. He's actually been training in Nashville with his dad on run blocking and Derrick Mason on catching. So take that for what its worth. We thought this pick was meant to be. Couldn't ask for more from a luxury pick we shouldn't have even had in the first place.
At pick 174, Kindle Vildor, again, was just too good to pass up. We need as many good corners as we can get. KC and baltimore aren't getting worse at passing the ball anytime soon. We neglected OT again, but we feel like the linemen at this point in the draft just wouldn't have much of an impact on our team. We feel like Kindle can fight for playing time immediately as a dime corner.
Quez Watkins - Pick 186(via LAC)was an easy one for us. We knew a WR would fall in this draft seeing that it's one of the deepest wr classes weve seen in a long time. We were keeping an eye on Watkins, Mooney, Proche, and Dunervay. When Dunervay came off the board right before our pick, we knew it was time to take Quez. 2nd fastest wr in the draft. 6 foot tall. Great production at southern miss. Couldn't be happier with this pick. Our offense and special teams needs a guy like this who will make the opposing team have to consider him in their gameplan.
The rest of the picks were BPA at positions of needs. Guys we think can potentially make this team and produce for us one day. QB and OT will be our first order of business when we look for UDFAs.
We feel really, really good about this draft.

I really don't see us going DL in the first round. We've got our 2 down lineman for the season in Simmons and Jones. We'll get some DL later I think probably a NT as well, but I don't think we go there in the first round. Especially if we sign Clowney we would be overcrowded on the DL if we drafted someone in the first round.
I'm honestly thinking we are going to go CB with the pick. Maybe edge if someone falls to us, but I really think CB is the way we go.
No way we go EDGE in the 1st after bringing in Beasley and Correa.
CB is a possibility, but there just isn't a very big difference between the guys that will realistically be available at the end of Round 1 and players that will be available on Day 2.
Which brings us back to DL. We need three "starters" if you will. Right now we have a glaring hole at RDE after the Casey trade. IMO this is the most pressing need unless the staff
A. Plan on signing Clowney and lining him up inside
B. Believe Isaiah Mack can fill the void
Trading out is probably the best strategy. Going CB at 29 is unlikely because we can get the same type of player in the 3rd round. If we can get a trade going lets say Miami which has multiple pics throughout the draft, that will definitely give us chance to fill all our needs. We trade our first, next years third considering we have multiple pics there, and a seventh rounder....we get back a second and 3rd in this years drat, then we take OL and DL in the second, the reason going by the projections they will be the best available players on the board....our first pic in the 3rd we take a CB followed by a RB. This scenario will be the best outcome IMO.
Beasley is a situational pass rusher he isn’t an every down guy. Correra is quality depth.
We don’t need 3 starters at DL. That’s a myth. Simmons is replacing Casey at RDE and Jones slides over to LDE. Mack will probably rotate at NT.
If we sign Clowney where is the first round pick going to play? Even if we don’t sign him we’ve got our starters basically set. NT’s aren’t “starters” anymore in the NFL. They’ll play 20-30 snaps a game maybe.
