I don't think there's any doubt they will take Garrett.

All this speculation sounds like it's being fuelled by ESPN trying to bring some intrigue to the draft telecast.

I don't think the Browns are that stupid...

A lot of sources reporting Broncos are seriously considering trading up to 5 with the Titans, Talib or Bradley Roby could be a part of the deal.

Crazy if true, but it is silly season. Would mean they're targeting McCaffrey who has shot up the charts.

That seems pretty nuts...

I've seen crazier. If they can get away trading a 4th and Roby, probably a good deal if they think he's worth it. It's a pretty stacked draft with CB's so while Roby is a pretty good player, he's replaceable.

McCaffrey is a 4 down back and had an amazing combine, RB was a pretty big issue last season and CJ Anderson's guarantees end this season. I'm not sure he's a top 5 pick though. I would have had him around 10-15.

Lots of teams looking to trade down this year apparently, so maybe there are some bargains to be had.

I just hope it isn't some stupid trade to get Bolles, I don't see anything amazing in that guy.

I didn't read your original post correctly... I thought you were saying a pick with Talib AND Roby.... I thought that was pretty nuts... gutting the strength of your team in your secondary for McCaffery.

Looking at it again... I don't think your going to get up to 5 with a 4th and Roby.

You'd have to give them a first for next season and probably a 2nd for this season... just to get in the door...

Apparently 5 or 6 very high up teams are looking to trade down. Titans already have an 18th. It just depends on how much competition there is for trades.

I don't think Roby and a 4th would do it either, we have bucketloads of compensatories this year(four).

Depends on who they look at trading, if it's Talib, it'd be far less picks. With either player, I don't think next years first would be required. Certainly a 2nd and up to a few lower rounders are possible.

I was only saying Roby and a 4th with me thinking what it's worth ;) Optimistic thinking!

I'm thinking you'll need a first for next season based purely on the fact that there will be others more than willing to give up a first next season to go up to the 5th this season.

If word is out that the Titans are willing to take a deal like that from the Broncos... you'll get teams everywhere who will hijack the deal...

Interesting Mike Mayock is saying there's a team in the late picks wanting to jump into the top 10.

Maybe that's the Broncos....
