    I was trying to establish a perfect draft for the titans, and this is realistically what I came up with

    #24-1.Devin Thomas Michigan State
    pros: creates separation, excellent downfield threat
    cons: lack of experience at major college level
    2. DeSean Jackson
    pros: same plus special teams ability
    cons: durability

    #54-1. Pat Simms DT Auburn
    pros: good size and quickness to compiment big Al
    cons: lacks endurance, but in our line up he will get a lot of single
    coverage to help with endurance
    2. Trevor Law DT Notre Dame
    pros: smart player, lots of energy
    cons: undersized

    #85-1. Steve Slaton RB West Virgina
    pros: Smart Runner, able to turn the corner 4.4 40
    cons: weak, cant push through contact, injured last season
    2. Ray Rice RB Rutgers
    pros: Can catch out of back field, decent speed, good in traffic 4.47 40
    cons: Lacks the same break away speed as slaton, durability concerns

    I was also considering a CB at # 85 but I dont think that the talent is as deep that late in the draft as the RB position is.

    I like this a lot. I agree 100%....although, I think that we need to go CB instead of RB on our 3rd pick.

    What are you talking about? We outreached all the other teams last year with C. Henry.

    looks good, but no way devin thomas is on the boards at 24.

    also, need to go defense of some kind in the 3rd

    If Slaton and Rice are on the board in the 3rd and we still don't have a RB I'd take Rice without hesitation. I wouldn't take Slaton until the 4th.
