ORLANDO – Ran Carthon knows what folks are thinking.
The Titans, after landing a number of players at key positions early in free agency, appear to be in a pretty good spot with the NFL Draft now just a month away.
With quarterbacks and receivers projected to go early, the Titans could have their pick of the top tackles when they’re on the clock, currently holding the seventh overall pick.
So, the pick has to be a tackle, right?
Not so fast, the Titans General Manager said from the NFL owners meetings.
“Everything is still on the table,” Carthon said. “This tackle class is really deep, so there are going to be valuable guys throughout the draft.”
Most mock drafts have the Titans selecting Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt at No.7.
But, what if one of the dynamic receivers falls past pick 6? Or, what about an impact player on defense?
Carthon won’t tip his hand, no matter who is asking.
“It is so funny, everybody has all these speculations about what we could and could not do,” Carthon said with a smile. “Even my 16-year-old daughter texted me the other day: Hey, are we taking this tackle that everybody has us taking? She is now looking at the mocks and asking what will happen.
“So, it is going to be interesting. We’ll see where we are. But everything is on the table.”
Carthon thinks the Titans are in a good spot at 7.
Sticking and picking, and moving back to get more picks, are among the possibilities.
The Titans currently have eight picks in this year’s draft.
“Everything is on the table with where we are,” Carthon said. “You can say you want to trade out, but in order to trade, you need a partner. So, we’ll see where we are.”
Carthon said teams are currently in the “nosy period” as it relates to trade talks, feeling each other out.
He said the Titans haven’t had any serious discussions about a trade with anyone.
