There was speculation today on 104.5 The Zone (local Nashville sports radio) about the Titans options in the up coming draft. There was talk about a possible trade involving our 1st round pick to the Chargers for Phillip Rivers. There's no way the Chargers plan on keeping him around, plus, he's already played under the tutelage of Norm Chow and would pick up the system very fast. Although, this is all speculation I think he'd be a great fit. I'm sure someone here will know the economics behind it and can tell us if it's even feasable.
If the Titans traded their first round pick in the upcoming draft (realistic possiblity), it would be for additional picks and trading back in the first round IMO. Remember Reese is looking for a third rounder now that he gave the pick up for Henry.
Not if they really like Rivers. We certainly need a future franchise QB.
If Chow really thinks Rivers can be a great future star in this league based on his comparisons with Palmer, Leinhart, McNair and Volek, players he has intimately worked with, we would do well to grab Rivers while we have the chance. Having spent two years already in the NFL means his learning curve will be much shorter than any rookie we could draft and our current draft position dictates we have no chance at Leinhart.

Taking Rivers into account, try this; Reese trades back into the mid first round and aquires two picks maybe a 3rd in this year's draft and another one in next year's. He then trades the mid first round pick to the Chargers for Rivers.
Best of both worlds. The Titans pick up their future QB that Chow is already familiar with as well as regain the third rounder in this year's draft as well as get some gravy for next year as well...

Why not bring Dan Fouts out of the booth too ?:irked:
We should do that trade, and then trade Volek for Bart Scott and a 3rd round pick.
Bart Scott is a backup LB on the Ravens, he has been playing pretty good while Ray Lewis has been out, he is definately an upgrade over sirmon or kassel.

Yea that would stink to get a guy like Culpepper:stars:
trading a HIGH first for Rivers would be a bad move, trading a late second or later MIGHT be a good move. Rivers has proven nothing and would just be another development type player.
Last Time Rivers ran a timed 40 Sadam Hussein was in charge of Iraq.
Just think a High 1 is way too much for Rivers at this time.

Agreed. Rivers hasn't proved anything and would be no different than a rookie QB. This BS about him having a shorter learning curve is just that - BS. You don't know how smart this kid is. There's no way that we will get Rivers for just a mid first, btw. San Diego will look to get a whopping amount for him. Plus, there's that contract he signed....
Rivers for anything earlier than a 2nd is pure stupidity on our part. Rivers is now 24, not played a snap in 2 years. So basically we are drafting a 24 year old QB who hasn't played in 2 years. No matter how good he is, that's the facts. A new guy out of college with recently playing experience, young. It wouldn't be value for the draft pick.
