The NFL Draft is finally here, much to the delight of fans across the league.
At the point of publication, it is draft day, and all of the speculation and rumors will finally be met with a reality check when the picks are finally made this evening.
Ahead of the draft, the Tennessee Titans are potentially interested in trading up for the No. 3 pick, per NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.

Throughout the offseason, rumors have circulated about the Titans potentially moving on from Ryan Tannehill.
If that is truly the case, the report of them trading up might have some merit.
Regardless, when Wilson’s report came out, it was received with mixed reviews.
Several Titans fans were excited about the possibility to get a new quarterback, especially if C.J. Stroud is available.

While Tannehill strongly started his career with the Titans, he has taken a small downturn as of late.
If Stroud is their target, this could mean an entire reshaping of the Titans offense.
Despite initial excitement from Titans fans, this wasn’t necessarily received well by other fans.
The Houston Texans still have the No. 2 pick, and many fans have expected them to draft a quarterback.
As this Texans fan indicates, passing on Stroud is a bad decision for the team.
Imagine the Texans passing on Stroud and allowing the Titans to get him. Agh https://t.co/zFuct1F6B7

The Texans have struggled at the quarterback position since the departure of Deshaun Watson.
Adding a player of Stroud’s caliber could go a long way, as the team looks to rebuild.
As this fan adds, this adds another layer of gossip to the draft.
And here goes the 2nd level of gossip going into the today’s draft.
Today should be fun. https://t.co/vR5OysCVX9
