With a little time left before the first round of this year's NFL draft kicks in, mock drafts have repeatedly sizzled a whole bunch of speculations over the big April 28 night event.

In anticipation of the draft, the rumor mill is in its usual frenzy of getting flooded with predictions and alleged insider rumors about which teams are targeting who.

Among the analysts sizing up the situation include ESPN NFL analyst and former QB Trent Dilfer who thinks that the top two picks this season will be quarterbacks.

This year's pick goes to the Titans with Browns being slated for the second pick. However, the Dilfer believes that there are other teams that are willing to talk with Titans to trade up for the right to pick either QB Jared Goff or QB Carson Wentz.

"I'll be shocked if I'm not right. I think they're going to go one-two," Dilfer remarked as quoted by Sports Illustrated. He further noted, "I think there are two to four teams outside the top five that are willing to trade up to take Jared Goff or Carson Wentz. And Cleveland is obviously going to take whichever quarterback is left over at two."

For the Tennessee Titans, filling up the roster to bolster their last year's franchise quarterback and No. 2 overall pick, Marcus Mariota is a must. If they so decide to use their top pick at this year's draft, they might use it to acquire offensive tackle from Mississippi Laremy Tunsil or defensive back Jalen Ramsey from Florida. The other practical course of action is to go over the trade offers from teams in exchange for giving up their highly coveted No. 1 pick according to Bleacher Report.

In a separate roundup, a group of New England Patriots fans are reportedly filing a legal complaint against the league in an attempt to get the team's No. 1 draft pick after their right got revoked as the result of their 'deflategate' punishment.

"This case is brought by New England Patriots fans on behalf of all Patriots fans who believe the New England Patriots professional football team were harmed by the Defendants' arbitrary and capricious decision to revoke the Patriots first round draft choice in the April 28, 2016 NFL Draft," the suit reads as quoted by Boston Herald.
