Yes & they took a risk on a quarterback that actually had better physical tools than Marcus Mariota. Where did that get them?
They have no stars on their team. The general public would be hard pressed to name a single Titans player. They need a face of the franchise and Met is not it. I think ownership is in management's ear pining for Mariotta while the coaching staff/football people would prefer not to select him at #2. We will see who win.
ETA - also not as big of a risk because the prospects they are passing on have not graded as high as year's past.

And it's decisions like this that sink franchises 5-10 years deeper into piss poor play. Might as well take advice from a homeless man then. Wait, the Browns owner already did that last draft. I seriously doubt Whisenhunt goes for that. Ultimately, it's he & his staff whose necks are under the guillotine here.
Secondly, pay attention to what is working & what is failing across the league in terms of drafting quarterbacks. The running, spread quarterbacks were a fad for a minute but look what was successful last draft. Teddy Bridgewater & Derek Carr had successful rookie seasons coming out of pro style college offenses. Even Blake Bortles had his share of moments. Now look back at the spread quarterbacks of the last few drafts & look at their struggles. Teams are beginning to realize that these spread guys aren't day one starters but 2-3 year projects.
