The NFL draft is a couple months away and players like Jared Goff, Joey Bosa, Jalen Ramsey, Shaq Lawson, Laremy Tunsil and Laquon Treadwell are getting attention as potential top 10 picks. Teams like the Cowboys, Browns, Titans, 49ers, Dolphins and Chargers could be interested in those players when the NFL draft comes up in April.
The Tennessee Titans have the first overall pick in the draft this year and the team is likely going to keep it over making a trade. According to Pro Football Talk, Titans General Manager Jon Robinson has had some "exploratory" talks about trading the pick, but nothing is close to happening as things stand now. The Titans are in an interesting position, as they do not need a quarterback after taking Marcus Mariota last year.
The Titans could shop the pick to teams looking for a quarterback, as the Cleveland Browns pick second and have made no secret about being interested in taking a QB. The Titans could flip the pick and gain some extra selections in the draft and that could be a smart move, as the team has needs all over the roster. If the team stands pat they could go after Joey Bosa or Laremy Tunsil with the number one selection. The team has needs on the offensive and defensive lines and those two players are rated as the top prospects at their respective positions this year.
The Browns pick at number two and the team is likely going after a quarterback with the pick. Mel Kiper at ESPN has the team taking Jared Goff, who is being looked at by many scouts as the top QB in the draft. The team also may consider players like Carson Wentz or Paxton Lynch if they feel that Goff is not the right fit. The Browns are reportedly looking to move on from Johnny Manziel this offseason and that should lead the team to a QB in the draft.
The Chargers pick at number three and the team likely will go after the player that the Titans don't pick. The Titans can go after the "best player available" at number one since they don't need a QB and while the Chargers may consider a QB, they are likely going to go after someone on the offensive or defensive line. Tunsil is coming in as the top rated lineman and he could be a strong fit for the team after they dealt with injuries at the position last year.
