Titans to pick #5 & #18

By the time the combine comes and goes I'm sure we will see many players rise and fall around the top 10. Last year Wentz shot up the board late and Tunsil went from being the consensus best player in the draft to being taken outside the top 10.

As of right now assuming we stay at #5 and assuming Jonathan Allen and Myles Garret are off the board, I would go either ILB with Reuben Foster or WR with Mike Williams. I know our biggest need is secondary help this draft but there seems to be no consensus of the best corner prospect in what is expected to be a deep CB draft. As of right now there doesn't seem to be that Patrick Petersen or Joe Haden that everyone agrees upon. That's why I say with our #18 pick I'd take the best corner available.

With Foster at 5, we would be getting what many experts are saying could potentially be the best player in the draft but inside linebackers never get drafted as high and pass rushers, Qbs, or tackles (generally speaking). Orakpo, Woodyard, Foster, and Morgan would be a deadly linebacking core who can stuff the run and attack the quarterback.

If the Titans decided to go WR at 5 I would be equally as thrilled because it's no secret that the Titans lack a big time play-maker in the receiving core. Walker is a great TE but is 32 and is not much of an outside deep threat. Williams has been compared to the likes of Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, and Demaryius Thomas thus far. Mariota threw the deep ball much better this season compared to his rookie season and would only get better with a big physical receiver like Williams going up for the ball. Not to mention our redzone offense would be even better although they currently had the highest TD percentage within 20 yards. While I really like what Rishard Matthews did this year I think he would make an excellent #2 receiver.

Then with our next first round pick I'd suggest taking whoever is left from Humphrey, Wison, Tabor, or Lattimore.

 

Right now it looks like the Saints, Cards and Eagles are our best bet. They all have 2nd round picks.

 

I can see Browns going after AJ McCarron via trade

 

We really need to make some big moves in FA so we wont have this dilemma come draft day. If Foster is the bpa at 5 we should take him.

 

Woodyard would be relegated to passing downs. Williamson would be paired with Foster if we took him.

If ol' cackteez tabor is the last one left, we won't take him lol

 

Round 1: Corey Davis, WR (fully expect him to blow up the senior bowl and combine)
Round 1: Desmond King, CB
Round 3: Gerald Everett. TE
Round 3: Ben Boulware, ILB - My draft crush right now, dude lives and breathes football. fiery personality and is the soul of the Clemson defense. Could go higher, but will probably get knocked "supposedly for lack of athleticism".






Would love to see our draft shape out like this, players not set in stone. Something like this hits some of our biggest needs WR, CB, ILB, TE. I still think we could upgrade our interior offensive line, nose tackle, and SS.

 

I like this plan, and JRob has shown the ability to do stuff like this....load up on those early picks, and we can really load up here IMO.

At this point I trust JRob in all areas except his attachment to our on field coaching personnel (which may have been a prerequisite for him getting the job last year anyway), so I am pretty bullish with our positions here.

 

What do they want to trade up for?

 

Eagles could trade up for Cook or Fournette

Not sure why the Saints or Cards would trade up.. maybe for a QB? Both QBs are getting really old there.

 

I think it would be smart for them to start looking at replacements though not sure they want to give up picks to do it.
