The Tennessee Titans stunned their fan base, and the NFL world as a whole, on Day 1 of the 2022 NFL draft after trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a pair of draft picks.
One of those acquired picks — No. 18 overall — was used to select Brown’s replacement, wide receiver Treylon Burks. The other — No. 101 overall — was flipped in a deal with the New York Jets that also involved Tennessee’s No. 26 overall pick. In return, Tennessee received pick Nos. 35, 69 and 163.
While Vrabel said all the right things following the trade of Brown, a video of the Titans’ war room right after the trade and pick was made appeared to show Tennessee’s head coach looking at least somewhat frustrated.
