1.  Tennessee trades up to 10.  Buffalo gets the 18th pick.  Tennessee forfeits one of their 3rd round picks to Buffalo.  Buffalo also receives a 2018 4th round pick.

Tennessee is looking for a game changer in this draft.  The good news is that they have the 5th pick in the draft, so they are off to a good start.  However if they make this trade they can have two picks in the top 10.

They could bring in a combination of elite play-makers on both sides of the football.  Or they could opt to bring in top level talent on offense and defense.  This would be huge for a franchise looking to finally take the AFC South.

Buffalo just decided to retain Tyrod Taylor, so QB isn’t a need for them at this time.  They will most likely be looking at a WR, CB, or OT.  They can still target all of those positions from 18.  A top WR could still be available, a plethora of CB’s, and 18 is justifiable to take the top OT in the draft.

With a new coaching staff, they may look to stock up draft picks and take more quantity of players that fit their system.
