You can always count on a few big trades going down during the draft, and this one sent shockwaves through the NFL. Whenever a guy with talent like Brown gets moved, it’s a big deal.
The Eagles have a star receiver for Jalen Hurts and the Titans added a couple picks. All things considered, it looks like a win for everyone involved.
