“Being able to acquire six players in the top 76 this year, along with next year when you factor that into it—I am assuming five in the top three rounds—that is 11 players that we can add to this football team that should not only increase our depth, but give us good quality players at all those positions,” Titans general manager Jon Robinson said.
The Eagles, who have the No. 8 pick, were reportedly engaging in talks about trading for the No. 1 pick before it fell to the Rams.
