The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

Not sure it ever came up (it might have at the beginning of the month and I missed it), but while the Chiefs made the Super Bowl (which was one of the original stipulations in the DeAndre Hopkins trade as to whether the Titans would get a 5th round pick or a 4th round pick), it sounds like the Chiefs kept Hopkins' snap count below 60% of their total offensive snaps following the trade (the other stipulation in the trade...he played less than 50% of offensive snaps in rotation).

So the Titans will be gaining the Chief's 5th round pick from the trade, either Pick 31 or Pick 32 of the round, depending on the result of the Super Bowl.

All in all, the Titans traded Hopkins for a 5th round pick (#31 or #32 in the round) and to free up around $5.5 Mil in cap.

(I might also be wrong, though, but didn't the trade also create like $10-$11 Mil in dead cap space for the upcoming offseason as well?)

Yeah...I don't even know any more. Any management brains are huge voids.

With the group the Raiders have assembled, we have have someone to overpay for pick # 1.

Then, we can use their # 6 pick to take that guard from NW Maine St that Amy secretly loves
 
I am starting to feel like the most ideal scenario is the Giants trading up to No. 1 overall.

Giants give up No. 3 overall and their 2nd rounder this year, plus a 2026 2nd round pick. The draft value chart shows that to be a slight overpay for the Giants, but no team ever gets a "fair deal" when moving up to No. 1 overall.

The Titans then take Carter or Hunter at No. 3.

The Titans get 2 first round picks (this years first and next years), or the trade is ng.

Do you think that's realistic?
 
Trading down 2 spots just isn't gonna net that sort of return. Never really has.
If they can't net two #1's on a proposed trade, then just go ahead and draft BPA. Good chance the Titans will again be picking in the top 5 next season. They need to stock as many top round players, to work their way back into contention again. Until there is a real can't miss prospect at QB, the Titans should avoid drafting a qb in the first round like it is the plague.

All this to say that there is no quick fix.

I get that. But assuming you want them to draft Hunter or Carter, at least one of them would still be there at 3, and we would add picks.

Our best chance to get an extra 1st is trade down with Oakland, but that's a fairly sizeable drop.
