    Lets face it Bulluck is a smart player but he is aging,he misses tackles and he doesnt hit hard. We need to use our 1st pick on a hard hitting LB someone who's all over the field who could be like Bob Sanders or Ray Lewis. I think that would help our Defense more than anything.

    Is there anyone in the draft that could do that for us that would still be there at the 30th pick?

    There is a thread about the possibility of drafting a linebacker in the draft forum.

    I must! LOL

    It's just that he's perfect for the Titans, and doesn't get the attention all the other top LB'rs get.

    Tulloch and Keglar are our future OLBs imo.

    Don't talk too bad about Bulluck. IIRC he's lead the team in tackles in 6 of the last 7 years, probably more. ESPN team stats didn't go back further than 7 years when I checked. He's still one of the best OLBs in the game.

    No, he doesn't hit hard but that's not what you need at OLB in a 4-3. He's not Merriman and doesn't need to be him. If you want Merriman type LB then watch a 3-4 team. If you want a Ray then pray for a MLB over Tulloch, not Bulluck.

    I actually think trading the 1st this year is a good possibility. I just don't see everyone's fasination w/ drafting LBs this year.

    I'd take Merriman over Bulluck.

    how is he a perfect fit for the titans? he's not a weakside linebacker and he's not a middle linebacker if we move tulloch outside. clay matthews makes no sense.
