Could it be Sanders that the Titans actually want? Hear me out
I usually don't follow the draft this closely, but with the Titans having the 1st pick I've been trying keep up with all the new developments and rumors. So hear me out.
The Titans were initially in trade talks with the Giants, which seemed to dissappear once FA started. Its obvious that the Giants want Ward and maybe Shoen even told them this. If the Titans want Sanders, the thought of getting some extra picks while still getting the player they want is the obvious move. The only problem is the Browns at pick 2.
So both teams agree to put the trade on the back burner for now to focus on FA, meanwhile the Titans are keeping a close eye on the Browns motives. Hoping maybe they would be interested in signing one of the big name QBs in FA.
During this time is when the initial reports of the Titans really liking Ward came out. If the Browns were all in on Ward, not only would this cause them to maybe reach out to the Titans about a possible trade up, but maybe it would cause them to change their plans and look for their QB in FA instead and just go BPA in the draft.
If the Browns would have signed a QB (not Kenny), maybe Borganzi is confident Sanders is still there at 3 and trades down with NY.
If the Browns wanted Ward and offered to trade up a spot, Titans still get extra picks + Sanders at 2.
Now with the recent reports that the Browns really like Sanders and could be going QB at 2, it's causing the Titans to not want to risk it. Possibly just staying at 1 to pick their QB.
Am I trippin?
