We could literally draft about any position and it should help improve it

Nope. Just a summer league with a lot of college players. He was named the #1 prospect in that league though. I think that was his Sophomore year in college.

He should've stuck around in the NFL and held a clipboard for a couple million per year.

They really do have other needs to focus on. We'll see what happens with Mett. I do believe that Winston/Mariota are better prospects than him. But the Titans need to address defense.

Mett's solid and should be the starter. If they draft Mariota, they're just not all that smart.

Mariota is not a good fit in Tennessee. But I think he's better than Mettenberger.

Mettenberger needs an above average OLine [His lack of mobility comes into play] & a stud running game to be successful. His toughness is unquestionable.

Yeah, that holds pretty well with their trends.

This. If I'm in the Titans front office, THIS is my first priority.

Sad thing is, they just used their last two 1st rounders on the o-line, and it's still a weak spot. Their front office has had some really bad scouting. I never saw what Jake did at UW that warranted his high pick, either.

Kendell Wright has had flashes, but that's about it.

This x100000.


Sad about Locker. Really likable guy but it never worked out. He had flashes of being good to very good but he couldn't put it all together and stay healthy.

Now that I think about it more, I'm going to say that he's not going to try baseball. He's probably going to move back to his small hometown where he's a legend, spend a lot of time with his family, hang out with friends, hunt and fish, and live on a ranch. He'll probably help coach his old high school team too. I know him and Michael Koenen opened up a gym in that town recently, so he'll probably spend a lot of time involved with that too.

Sucks for Locker, but it was obviously the best move. He just could not stay healthy playing NFL football. He was an exciting college player, but his body just couldn't keep up with the NFL game. I liked him every since his impressive performance against LSU in 2010.

Considering the options at QB in this draft I think Mett showed enough to get another year

It's hard for ppl to understand how truly terrible we were personnel wise last year

I don't have a clue what we should draft but like someone else said earlier it really doesn't matter what position we choose it will improve us. Just stay away from Mariota/Winston
