Do the Titans Really need a DL or a QB

I agree totally. Take the BPA.

I think Peterson will be gone by #8 but I'd take AJ Green or Julio Jones if they are there. I think they are both better than Akamura.

Personally, I think Julio Jones is going to be an Andre Johnson type player. Non prima-donna, work his azz off type dominant WR. This guy would be a shot in the arm to the locker room , not to mention he AUTOMATICALLY makes the offense more potent regardless of who our QB is. Adding Julio Jones makes Donavan McNabb an INSTANT workable choice and provides a base for the future. And we need to score points (as well as play defense) to win our division with Indy and Houston.

slight buzz already. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...nesee-titans-take-julio-jones-at-no-8-overall

 

I'm of the QB or LB school of thought as needs......Plenty of good DL's later.

QB is number one need in my mind, then get the LB.

 

The Houston Chronicle's John McClain expects the Texans to try to trade up for Von Miller or Patrick Peterson.

 

I too am of the belief that you take the BPA and if Peterson is there you'd have to think about it hard. But I think CB is one of the positions we're deepest at. You forgot to mention McCourtey and Verner. Those two, along with Finnegan give us 3 competant CBs, where as on the D-line we have no DT that collapses the pocket and gets consistant pressure on the QB. If Fairley or Dareus is there, they're the better pick because they fill a need.

 

DT: Tony Brown and Jason Jones are decent, both were bothered by the injury bug last year. Brown is also getting older, but has some years left in him. Jovan Haye and Sen'Derrick Marks have shown nothing for me to be impressed.

DE: Babin is a FA, and will probably be leaving. Babin is also very overrated because of his sack total, the dude lines up 5 yards off the tackle and doesn't help on the rush... ever. Besides last year where he was allowed to line up that far outside he's been a bust. Derrick Morgan has potential, but is coming off a serious injury. Ford and Hayes have been let downs, I had a lot of hope in them... they're both average at best.

Do we need a DL bad? No.. but it's probably our #2 biggest need. There is a TON of DL talent that will be available Rd2, so we could wait.

I agree that Rusty and KC are not the answer.

Hasselbeck has been horrible for 3 years now, 34 TDs to 44 INTs. Besides his solid playoff performance this year, he's been nothing. He's 35 also.

McNabb struggled last year, but I still think he could be solid.

But you can't just not address your biggest need and hope you'll land someone in free agency. What if we miss out on all the QBs, and our starting QB is KC or Rusty next year? That'd be horrible.

You can't possibly mean Ryan Mouton. Do you perhaps mean Alterraun Verner?

The Titans really don't need a CB. Finnegan and Verner can start. McCourty can play nickel. That group is much better than people around here give them credit for.

DL and QB are absolutely the biggest needs.

 

I hope by Mouton you mean Verner cause Mouton is awful.

History shows you will have a hard time finding a QB late in the draft.

While this D-Line class is very good it is a bit top heavy so the majority of prospects that should have an immediate impact will likely be gone by the second round.

I agree with Peterson if he is there I would love to get him.

 

Your assuming we'll get a decent QB in free agency of course we need a QB and a DT/DE. We have no depth!!!

 

Instead we should break the bank for Nnamdi Asomugha. Then we can still draft one of the best D-lineman on the board at #8.

And we can STILL sign a Hasselcrack or McNabb and not draft a QB this year.
