The Tennessee Titans made a blockbuster trade on Monday afternoon, with the team trading one of its franchise greats, safety Kevin Byard, to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a player and two picks.
The blockbuster part of the deal comes from the Titans trading Byard, but their return was anything but exciting. Tennessee netted 2024 picks in the fifth and sixth rounds, and received a throw-in player in safety Terrell Edmunds, who won’t be part of this team’s future plans.
According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the two picks the Titans receive will be the highest in each round.
According to NFL Mock Draft Database, Philly’s highest pick in each round is currently No. 144 and No. 170. Of course, we won’t know for sure where any of Tennessee’s picks land until the season is over.
While definitely an underwhelming return for Byard, the Titans had to get something for an aging player who likely wasn’t going to be back in 2024. Also, Tennessee now has picks in the fifth and sixth rounds, which they didn’t have prior to the deal.
