Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson is reportedly trying to orchestrate a trade that would move his team back into the top 10 of the NFL draft order after trading the No. 1 pick to the Los Angeles Rams last week, reports Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

“He's moving back up,” one NFL executive told La Canfora. “He has the ammo to do it and it’s heading in that direction.”

BURKE: Rams risk it all for a QB in stunning trade with Titans for top pick

The Titans currently hold the No. 15 pick, which they received from the Rams in last week’s blockbuster trade along with two second-round picks and a third-round pick in the 2016 draft. They also obtained a first- and third-round pick in the 2017 draft.

The Rams received this year’s No. 1 pick plus a fourth- and sixth-round pick in 2017.

In his first year as general manager, Robinson is charged with rebuilding a team that has won five games over the past two years and hasn’t made it to the playoffs since 2008.
