While much of the hype in this pre-draft process for the Tennessee Titans has centered on the No.1 overall pick, they have a lot of work to do to fortify their roster and could always use more draft capital.
Adam Schefter speculated about teams and veteran players who could be on the move during the draft to help teams gain some extra picks. As for the Titans, he offered a couple of player names who could garner some interest.
In the article, he mentioned both quarterback Will Levis and wide receiver Treylon Burks as players the Titans could move on from. Ironically, staying away from the Jeffery Simmons rumors that have become popular on social media.
It is highly unlikely the Titans would consider moving on from Simmons. Not only would it open another major hole on the roster, but it would also go against the draft-and-develop philosophy that the new front office has discussed repeatedly throughout the offseason.
Between Levis and Burks, Levis would likely have more value because he is a quarterback, and teams often give quarterbacks more chances to develop in different systems. While it is unlikely they would recoup anything close to a Day 2 pick, they may be able to gain something on Day 3.
Burks will be a lot more challenging to move. Not only has he been a complete bust since entering the league, but he is still recovering from ACL surgery and may not be available until the start of the season. Between his salary and injury concerns, there will likely be little to no market for his services beyond draft weekend.
Tennessee has a few other options, but if a trade were to be made, it would likely involve trading back a few spots from No. 35 to acquire more capital. Will it happen? You'll have to tune in Friday night for Day 2 of the NFL draft to find out.
