I'm wanting to set up a bet for who the Titans will take in the first so wanted to ask those who are closely following it to list the five players they think will most likely be chosen.
Its tough to list 5 this year, there are a lot of options and a lot of different ways the Titans may go. DeCastro and Barron if they drop - highly doubt DeCastro falls to 20, Barron might. Mercilus and Brockers are the most common D-Line picks. Gilmore and Kirkpatrick are the two CBs I've seen tied to the Titans the most. I don't know why so many experts think it may be a CB. I personally don't but it's been thrown out there more than a few times. I also think all the Konz talk is pretty crazy - very unlikely that the Titans pick him up at 20. If I had to pick 5... I'd probably pick the following (assuming DeCastro is off the board), I've underlined who I'd prefer: 1) Barron 2) Brockers 3) Mercilus 4) Gilmore 5) Kirkpatrick
The 3 players that I hope for are DeCastro, Barron, and Gilmore. Could all potentially be gone before 20 or could all be there. Would like Cox as well, but Philly has already shown much interest in him. Don't want anything to do with Brockers or Poe. These are the 5 that I think we choose between in no particular order. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Alabama Stephon Gilmore, CB South Carolina Whitney Mercilus, DE Illinois Michael Brockers, DT LSU David DeCastro, OG Stanford
1. Dontari Poe 2. Whitney Mercilus 3. Nick Perry 4. Michael Brockers 5. Chandler Jones I think Poe is going to fall hard after being projected as a top 10 pick. I'm predicting he will be our pick. I didn't include any DBs because I just don't see it happening. Not nearly as big of a priority as d-line. Not even close.
Michael Brockers DT LSU Chandler Jones DE Syracuse Dontari Poe DT Memphis Whitney Mercilus DE Illinois Donta Hightower LB Alabama
I'd say one of these five... 1. Poe 2. Mercellius 3. Barron 4. Brockers 5. Perry Personally, I want Barron.
Cox, Kirkpatrick, Perry, Mercilus, Still Decastro and Barron won't be there or they'd be on the list. I'm also assuming Coples, Ingram and Floyd don't fall to us.
Mercilus Brockers Coples Upshaw Gilmore I think of those 5 I want, Upshaw & Brockers will 100% be gone by the time we pick. The other 3 may very well be there.
But this truly becomes more and more a draft that 1) I have no idea who we'll pick 2) I'm not even entirely sold on who I want
