With the draft only hours away, it's time for some last minute insight. I would say a good 85% of mock drafts have Quarterbacks going 1- 2 this year. But the third pick, well, that's a different story. The Jacksonville Jaguars are sitting in the 3 spot, and everyone is debating about who they are planning to take. But honestly, I am not sure that the draft order will stay intact for very long. A trade with Cleveland could be in order, as both Titans at #2 and the Jaguars at #3 have the means to trade down. If Winston goes #1 (which is the common assumption) then the Titans would be in a position to draft Marcus Mariota. They would also be in a position to make a deal with the Browns for the second pick. Honestly, the Browns could use a stable QB without a constant drama cloud surrounding him. If the Titans are interested in investing in future picks, and are feeling especially confident in their current Quarterback situation, then I think a trade is very possible. If Tennessee traded down to 12, they would have the possibility to draft DeVante Parker, Breshad Perriman, Danny Shelton, Trae Waynes or even Todd Gurley. However, if they decide to take Mariota, then Jacksonville will have the same chance to trade. Leonard Williams is also pretty tempting to Cleveland, I'm sure. They do need a defensive lineman, and a guy like Williams could make a difference. Jacksonville, if they trade down, will have the same opportunity to take Parker, Perriman and the others at 12. So, if the commissioner walks up to the podium tonight and announces a trade in the top 5, don't be too surprised.
