Jonboy Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I tossed out the idea a few months ago a several folks seemed interested so here it is: TitansReport's inaugural Mock Draft. Everyone always likes to point back at a draft and say "I said we should have taken Watt!" and frankly, in past drafts, I've often wondered if TR wouldn't have done a better job than the team ended up doing. So this is our chance to prove that. Of course, these threads will remain so we can look back in the years to come and see how well (or poor) we did. This is not a draft prediction; rather, this is who you would draft if you were GM of the Titans. I will keep this first poll up for the next month leading up to the draft and you can change your vote as many times as you would like until the day of the draft (you'll need to click "delete my vote" at the bottom of the poll). I will lock the thread just before the start of the draft. The votes will be public. If there's a player you would like the Titans to draft at #2 who is not on this list, go ahead and post the name here. I will add it to the poll when I have a chance to update. As for including Jameis Winston, I was torn on that one. He's widely expected to go #1, but I decided to include him for 2 reasons: 1) Anything can happen between now and draft day and 2) If you believe he'll be the best QB, you can go ahead and vote for him anyway, which would still give you bragging rights in the years to come. Would also be a situation where we couldn't fault the Titans in future years if said player was off the board. Ultimately though, you can approach it however you'd like.

Cyrus Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm confused by the fact that the poll says first overall pick? Is this for the Bucs selection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE75 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) If i were Titans GM i would be working like crazy to get a king's ransom from someone like Cleveland for the #2 pick in a trade down. Before the draft i'd be singing Mariota's praises and making out like i loved him and fixated on him so teams would be thinking i'm drafting him. Since multiple teams want him i'll take the team who gives me a deal i can't refuse. Haslam strikes me as a Snyder type and when he is desperate he will do anything to get he wants which is a starting QB. I could see him agreeing to a trade for the #12,#19,#43 this year plus a first and second rounder next year so he can draft Mariota. I do think they have already realized Manziel was a huge mistake and they are embarrassed and ready to move on. After all thirty five year old McCown is not the answer and they know this. So Tennessee would have #12,#19,#33 and #43 if that happen which could be great for shoring up key areas. Throw in the first and second rounder in 2016 which could be potential top five picks and the more i think about it the Cleveland deal is something i hope goes down.

Face Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 i think we are picking for bucs... hence the reason i picked winston. I think it was a misprint, this is strictly our pick I believe Jonboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for the Bucs selection? i think we are picking for bucs... hence the reason i picked winston. Yep, meant our first overall pick. Changed it to say #2 overall pick. Feel free to change your vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishTitansFan Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ah, my vote remains though, I think we should trade down. Cuts Websters chances to screw up in half! The Music City Miracle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmeade- Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've went back and forth but screw it, I'm on board for Mariota. Webster's only chance to retain his job as GM is to hit on a franchise QB. If this turns out to be one of those "all these teams past on Rodgers" in draft recaps, we are screwed even worse than taking him and him busting. Mariota is a great prospect and could be a face of the franchise type player. If he doesn't get it together, we have a whole new coaching staff and front office that will draft their own QB anyway. Mariota is worth the risk to solidify our quarterback situation for the next 15 years. Next years class looks like garbage and we will continue to waste draft picks on QBs. I was rooting for Mett, but he really didn't do anything to justify handing the keys the franchise to him. Now everyone can sit back and hope he can somehow take it to the next level, but he honestly was never that impressive at LSU either. earlers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 This actually gives me a good idea. What if we went team by team for the next 32 days (including today) and did a mock draft for the first round? titanruss, and gatordude731 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxTitan Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 If Winston's available, that's the pick. His character concerns don't bother me that much (most of it seems like stupid stuff). He's a better prospect than Mariota and is a scheme fit as well. If Winston's gone, then flip a coin between MM and Williams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to redo this one though and only allow for draftable players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlers Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Last polls, I voted for Williams but I'm on the Mariota train now. It's all a gamble now...you got to see if you can hit gold. Williams is the safe pick...I want the "swing for the fences" pick. If Mcnair and Kearse were in the same draft, who would you draft? McNair was a gamble...
