    I wouldn't be mad at all at Howard at #5, but i think id rather pick ILB Foster, SS Adams, or CB Lattimore and "settle" for Njonku... at 18 the elite CBs, Ss, and ILBs won't be there (I dont like Cunningham at all)

    At this point I have the best receiving options in this order-
    1. Howard
    2. Ross
    3. Davis
    (Distant)4. Williams

    Howard would certainly make the biggest impact and when you look at options that will be there at 5 it's not hard to justify picking him. He is one of the few can't miss prospects in this draft.

    I want nothing to do with Ross. His speed means very little to me. It didn't show up much in college to be worth picking over Davis or Williams. He is the 3rd best WR, but no way I take him before Davis or Williams. Cooks is one things, but we need more of a big physical outside WR, that's not Ross.

    Ross is more than just a speed demon. He is actually a more refined Wr than Williams. Out of all of these Wrs Williams had the most talented QB. We need guys that can get open and catch the football.

    I hope that isn't the list JRob is going by.

    I'd be surprised.

    I consider him at #18 or if the Titans trade back but I don't see him going #5.

    Id pass on OJ at 5 but Im all about Njoku at 18. Guy gets YAC, too many times i see OJ so down on first contact. Njoku is raw but really reminds me of DW

    Pretty sure it's unprecedented.

    But here's my reasoning: Double down on the run game. Basically Like drafting OL to further bolster our identity as a bully. Yet we need another Weapon as well (preferably WRs but...)

    OJ obviously can be our main Inline blocker and Walker can continue to be our flex TE. This makes our 12 personnel extremely flexible. Howard can also out run most lbs and has the size advantage that creates mismatches in every game. 6'5 and running 4.51 at 251 pounds...

    We saw teams struggle last year to contain Walker and they had to double or bracket him- thus opening up a WR for us... defenses can't routinely double 2 players every play. It's pick your poison and let Mariota make the quick reads to get the ball to one or the other - Or a WR for that matter.

    Cb @ 18 and a WR in the third...

    OJ is the biggest matchup nightmare on offense in this draft in my opinion. Plus he doesn't come with any majors weaknesses.

    John Ross would do wonders being able to stretch the field preventing defenses from stacking the box to stop the run. We have no homerun hitters offense. Ross does one thing that we sorely need in the passing game. That's getting consistent separation.

    Corey Davis comes 3rd because i really dpnt know how fast this guy really is. I cant completely go off of his game tape because of the competition he faced. That's why I have him behind OJ and Ross.

    Williams is 4th because to me he has the lowest ceiling out of these top options. He doesn't create much separation and he isn't as great of a contested catcher as most ppl are saying he is. I just don't see him being a prolific W or making a huge impact that would complete our offense.
