2015 NFL Draft trade rumors: Titans want ‘HUGEEEE value’ for No. 2 pick and Marcus Mariota

The Tennessee Titans are reportedly demanding a veritable ransom to give up the No. 2 overall pick and a shot at Marcus Mariota, but is it a bluff?

The Tennessee Titans reportedly won't be giving up the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft without getting "HUGEEEE value" in return, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. The Titans' pick has been reportedly coveted in particular by teams vying for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The Philadelphia Eagles, headed by former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, have been perhaps the team most persistently tied to the pick because of Mariota's familiarity with Kelly and his offensive system. A report by Pro Football Talk on Wednesday evening claimed that the Eagles were doing "all they can" to trade up for the quarterback. Getting to the No. 2 spot from No. 20 could require Philadelphia to give up an unprecedented dowry, however.

For the Titans' demand to hold weight, teams have to believe, absolutely, that Tennessee actually wants Mariota at No. 2. The Titans certainly need a quarterback following the surprise offseason retirement of Jake Locker, but their roster issue runs much deeper than one position. Bleeding Green Nation blogger Brandon Lee Gowton believes that the Titans' rumored trade request may have been fabricated by the team itself in hopes of scoring a bounty of extra draft picks.

I can't help but think the Titans are behind all of these rumors. They so badly want someone to make a huge offer for their No. 2 pick. Their roster is depleted of talent and getting a team to supply them with a hoard of draft picks would greatly benefit them. Teams in pursuit of Mariota (the Eagles among them) can either succumb to the pressure or call the bluff.

Alongside the Eagles, the San Diego Chargers (No. 17), Cleveland Browns (No. 12) and St. Louis Rams (No. 10) have also been attached to trade rumors involving Mariota and the Titans. We're now just hours away from finally finding out whether these reports meant anything.
