Titans Cards Trade

Published: April 6, 2023 1515 Views 1 Comments Draft: 2023
This looks at affect of this trade on the rest of the draft. I had just completed my latest draft on 4/3 using best available with position of some need as basis. Interesting to see the "ripple" effect of a couple of changes. This is only first two rounds. I assume Tennesee gives Ari their second round pick with swap of 1st rounders. In notes I show pick from my original draft. Where affected, I had team pick next best available player for that same position.

Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-31 Round 2
17.
Joey Porter Jr. , CB , Penn State
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I copycat Walt here. No affect of Trade
18.
Myles Murphy , DE , Clemson
Another ripple. I originally had Lions taking Lukas here, but they have to go down a notch - still a very good option, but different
19.
Jahmyr Gibbs , RB , Alabama
I believe a very good RB makes a QB better. Bucs will go QB shopping next round. No affect of Trade
Seahawks continue what I think will be the best draft of the year. With Carter and this guy (and a pick in Round 2) it will be amazing. No affect of trade
21.
Mazi Smith , DT , Michigan
If only Chargers will really do this. They can fix a lot of run defense problems with this pick. No affect of trade
22.
Isaiah Foskey , DE , Notre Dame
Another ripple, I had them taking Murphy here. So they go to the next good Edge. Still not a bad pick, just not as good.
23.
Devon Witherspoon , CB , Illinois
While it tempting to pick up a DT or DE, this is position of greatest need, and he is very good. and used to cold weather. No affect of trade
24.
Brian Branch , S , Alabama
He solves a lot of secondary problems with his flexibilty No affect of trade
25.
Jack Campbell , LB , Iowa
Giants really need a very good linebacker. While this may be a bit of a stretch, there aren't a lot of quality linebackers or DT's so get while the getting is good. No affect of trade
26.
Bryan Bresee , DT , Clemson
While the Cowboys were disapointed when Gibbs was taken, they get a chance to shore up run defense here. I was tempted to plug Ika from Baylor, but there is a lot of talent and size with Bresee. No affect of trade
27.
Broderick Jones , OT , Georgia
Another ripple. I originally had them taking O'Cyrus Torrance, but look there is a better Guard available. Again not much difference, but some
28.
Nolan Smith , OLB , Georgia
This is a perfect spot for Nolan. While he is a physical freak, he has not performed as expected. With the teammates and coaching he will get, he can be something special . No affect of trade
29.
Tyrique Stevenson , CB , Miami
Saints address the woeful secondary. No affect of trade
30.
Calijah Kancey , DT , Pittsburgh
The rich just keeping richer. Another perfect fit. Calijah can hide between the monsters of the Eagle Dline and find the holes to get to the ball. No affect of trade
31.
Zay Flowers , WR , Boston College
Too bad they didn't have him in this years Superbowl. It could have made a difference. It must be nice not having so many holes to fill.No affect of trade
