If you look at next year, the three starters are pretty much locked in with Wright, DGB, and Matthews. If you take a WR in the first he isn't going to play his first year. The Titans don't have that luxury. They need a day one starter with their first pick. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HufukkinTuNite Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I also think if Ifedi makes it to the 3rd, you have to take a serious look at him as a G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaltitan Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Titans haven't looked at any of the top WR as far as we know. It's been guys later in the draft like Lawler and Carroo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that early in the draft process Treadwell was considered a top 5 prospect. I agree that he isn't anymore but people thought he was talented enough at one time and not having a good 40 time really turned many people off.

I like Treadwell just fine and I've said all along having a big sure-handed possession receiver would help Marcus a lot. But with the Rishard acquisition and the age of our TE personnel, I still like Henry better, especially in an offense that's based on physical play.

flaming_thumbtack Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Instead of Treadwell at 15 we could take Conklin and then take a guy like Shepard or Boyd instead of Clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 21 hours ago, MariGOATa said: Mock Draft Post-Trade 1.0 15th Pick: Laquon Treadwell WR Ole Miss Treadwell will give us a true number one receiver and will allow Wright to move to the right position (pun-intended) in the slot. Treadwell has gradually slid down draft boards due to speed concerns but I wouldn't worry considering his ball skills are incredible. Speed can be overrated as well. He plays with heart and is Hines Ward-esque when blocking. 33rd Pick: Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson Alexander is as close as you can get to a lock down CB in this draft. I've seen many mocks saying he will make it to us here (I personally think he is top 20 caliber). Alexander can grow into Mccourty's replacement while starting across from him Day One. 43rd Pick: Karl Joseph S West Virginia Joseph is one of the hardest hitters you will see. He is very athletic and has great instincts. He is good in coverage as well. Joseph's fallback is injury risk but he presents too much upside to ignore. I also heavily considered Darian Thompson for this spot and if you prefer a coverage guy then Thompson is your man. Also, Sua Cravens could be a good fit in LeBeau's scheme at this spot. 45th Pick: Austin Johnson NT Penn State We desperately need a NT and Johnson is one of the best there is. He could potentially be a three down player as well (a rarity for NTs) due to his prowess in the passing game. Johnson would normally be picked higher but this draft is absolutely filled with DTs. 64th Pick: Le'Raven Clark OT Texas Tech Many will scream at me that we should have taken a tackle earlier and I can see where you are coming from. However, good GMs and good teams do not draft RTs early. I know we are desperate for a RT but I prefer Clark over any of the guys that would be at 33 anyway (unless Decker/Conklin make it). Clark has long arms and quick feet. He is great in pass protection but sometimes looks goofy when getting to the next level on run plays. That should be able to be fixed over time though as he adjusts from Spread to Pro-style offense. 76th Pick: Austin Hooper TE Stanford Hooper will hoperfully become the heir-apparent to the aging TE group. He is athletic and is a great vertical threat. He shows desire in blocking though he will need some refinement. He will also need to develop crisper routes to get open at the next level. Luckily, it will be at least one or two years before he is truly called on to step up. 140th Pick: Victor Ochi OLB Stony Brook Every single team needs a Stony Brook Seawolf on their team to succeed and we are not exception. Ideally, we could get an edge rushed earlier but Ochi is a great consolation prize. Kiper loves this guy (not necessarily a good thing) because he excels at getting to the QB under any circumstance. He will obviously need to adjust but his solid athleticism along with his competitive fire make him worth the pick. 193rd Pick: Keith Marshall RB Georgia I don't see us drafting Keith Marshall (not a very JRob thing IMO) but Marshall is as athletic as they come. He could be great to give Murray some spells especially when using his 4.3 speed against tired defenses. There are injury concerns but it is a sixth round pick so we aren't missing out on much. You could also take a guy like Josh Ferguson here too if you want a more refined football player rather than just an athlete. 222nd Pick: Jakeem Grant KR Texas Tech I have mocked Grant to the Titans is nearly every draft I have done. He is the returner we need. I have never seen a guy with his quickness and elusiveness. He undresses defenders in the open field. At 5'6" he is purely a returner, however.

DJB Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 First player I thought of when we picked up the two 2nd rd. Picks in the trade was Austin Johnson. Didn't think they'd draft a NT till later ...but this guy would be a good fit in our D, and now J. Rob can grab him. Great pick in your mock..and I agree we need one desperately!
