    The left tackle is only a difference maker when the QB is being blindsided. Sad. It is a difference making position, just not what peeps wanna see.

    I don't mind seeing it, I just don't trust the guy he's protecting.

    Let's face it. Taking OL with early to mid first round picks is simply boring. But the argument can be made that securing a top LT is second only to QB to a successful offense.

    I wanted a defensive playmaker and would have been happy with Donald, Barr or Gilbert. With Barr and Gilbert gone, I think the plan was to trade out, pick up a third, and grab Donald or one of the CBs.

    It is nice to hear the talking heads on ESPN say the Titans got the biggest steal of the first round this morning.

    But you have to be certain a) Locker is going to bust 100%
    b) New QB is a stud. Right now I dont think that both of these match where the titans are at so no trigger pulled.

    That is reassuring. I'm still angry/intrigued about the trade that fell through. I started a different thread so folks can post any revealing details they come across.

    I am still angry with the pick, I mean what good does it do if our QB is hurt and we have no RB! Now we are in a division with Luck and Bortles so Locker needs to step it up or he is a gone. Lame Duck season by far!

    It's not like we were going to take a RB in the first...

    its still early. I'm hoping we'll get QB taken care of in a satisfactory manner.

    There isnt a trustworthy guy to protect in the draft either. I trust Jakes ability, just not his durability. I firmly believe that the RB and QB stuff can be solidified later. Possibly Carr, Jimmy G. I personally bang the table for Murray, have for a while. His injury puts him somewhat under the radar, but I would be estatic if he would fall to us in the 4th. We still need to adress pass rusher in the 2nd. Van Noy?
