    The safeties for the Titans are supposedly interchangeable. That may mean guys like Fuller don't have the skills to be strong enough to support the run and they felt upgrading LT was a top priority.

    I'm a bit shocked at the choice but can see the reasoning behind it if he upgrades both run and pass defense.

    Smart Pick

    This guy is a beast. Hits hard, plays hard. I think he was what we needed. Remember we are in colts division. We need to lock the pass. He helps with pass defense and run defense. Both of which we need help alot. We got Mike Williams to catch balls. We can pick up running back in round 2 or 3. Good pick.

    Not surprised by picking a S, a little surprised by picking Griffin over Nelson

    Great pick. This guy has skills. Fast, good hitter. Another Longhorn.
    We need help on defense, and this is help.
    And he is an instant upgrade on teams also.
    High motor. That's great.
    Welcome to Music City Michael.

    Yep, but i heard we still intend to give up our 2nd for Turner and then draft a WR, just a rumor though.
