If Chicago Bears Trade Down In the Draft, Watch These Teams

-

Tennessee Titans (#5)

Thanks to their maneuvering from last year and the good fortune of the Rams being bad, the Tennessee Titans are sitting pretty in this draft. They have their own first round pick at #18 but the far more valuable one via trade from Los Angeles at #5. This doesn’t include the two third round picks they also have. So if there is a player they feel can get them over the hump, they have the ammunition to move.

The question becomes what would they move up for? Two things potentially stand out. Brian Orakpo will be 31-years old next season and he has a history of injury problems. They may love the idea of going after one of the top pass rushers in this class to both load up their front and also gain valuable insurance.

Also, they’re still on the lookout for a legitimate receiving threat for Marcus Mariota. Thus far they’ve made do with solid role players like Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe. They may go after a potential stud like Mike Williams or Corey Davis.
