    { per walterfootball / 2013 nfl draft rumors }

    This is obviously just one source of rumors from a few different sources; Leading up to the draft though things will no-doubtly change week by week. Most of us seem to want Warmack but if he's not there @ 10 I can see them settling for the Guard from UNC.

    However, I am still torn on a OL or DL with the 1st round selection. I am on a Barkevious Mingo kick here lately.

    The rumor page and Charlie Campbell do make good points about the pash-rushing ability of the Titans. It was horrid in 2011 but with all the young linebackers coming together in 2012 and the adding of Kameron Wimbley and the Titans not ready to give up on Morgan, maybe pass-rushing can be addressed in round 2 or later.

    I hope we go OL. A good O-line = better first and second down runs = shorter 3rd downs = more conversions = offense stays on the field longer = more points = defense rests more = better defense.

    In short, improving the O-Line will improve the entire team.

    Then again on the same website on Walter's 2013 Mock Draft he sites the Titans "despertly want Milliner", however I think most of us don't see him falling past the Lions @ 5 who have needed a stud CB in their franchise since ... ummm ... forever.

    OL is a much bigger need than a DE when we already have 2 capable starters. I'm not talking who we should take in the 1st, depth of the positions, etc etc but just pointing out the OL is the biggest need.

    "With the 20th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Titans select WR Kendall Wright."

    Don't believe a word from the Titans FO.

    I was pretty dead set on getting an End in the first, but I haven't been impressed with any prospects since JPP. I don't think we will go OL, so if Milliner is not there.......I really have no idea what way we will go. I mean, we really don't have any major holes that need attention in the first outside of those positions, so I think we might end up being forced to pick someone we were not really eyeing at 10.

    Just wait until we start bringing guys in for workouts. I guarantee our first pick will be on that list.

    Well with pick 10 I would certainly hope so.

    I think Warmack is the guy. I don't think there's any way he gets taken before us. Like I've been saying all along though, our best case scenario is a trade back to 20 or before and get Warmack or Cooper while also picking up at least 1 more decent pick.
