JCBRAVE Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've said it before but I'll say it again. I don't care about the first pick. I'm pretty confident the Bucs will take a QB leaving the Titans their pick between Gregory or Williams. Its very important for the Titans that they pick before the Raiders and Jags as both those teams have no interest in a QB. We need as many draft picks as we can get though, holding the No.1 pick ensures us that option. You know some QB deprived team will be dying to throw picks our way if we hold the top pick.

Nash Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 And , as previously mentioned the 33 rd pick is extremely valuable b/c there will be a lot of outstanding players not drafted in the first round and not only do we have our choice but can trade that pick for quite a few picks also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're essentially getting 2 first round quality players because someone always drops. Always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 So if I'm looking at this right, with a Titans loss, we are guaranteed to pick 1st or 2nd.  With a win, the worst case would be picking at #6, right?  As bad as we've been, we can't go and screw this up now. The Colts very well could be playing for a bye against us so hopefully they'll be going all out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) How do tied teams rotate?  If say 4 teams tie does it go like this #1 (4th in 2nd), #2 (1st in 2nd), #3 (2nd in 2nd) #4 (3rd in 2nd)...repeat that pattern in other rounds?  If so, assuming no block buster trade for #1 that the Titans could get, picking #2 is probably better considering Tampa Bay would take a QB.  I doubt the Titans could get a great trade at #1 this year, and removing the risk of the Titans taking a QB at #1 would be easier on fans until the draft, so I like the Titans staying at #2. Edited December 19, 2014 by 9 Nines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, a team wanting a QB will try to trade with TB, not us  But I'm pretty skeptical any team makes a big trade like that. These QB aren't worth it.

MIKE75 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 It is all in the hands of Webster. If he has a good draft like last year and does better in free agency this team could have a quick turnaround in 2015. Kansas City did this from 2012 and 2013 going from 2-14 to 11-5 in one year so there could be a chance. In 2015 this team should be starting with Mett at QB in the very first game with the team back healthy and hopefully better players from the draft and free agency. Once the offense improves time of possession the defense will get better from not being on the field all game. The defense could also have a good pass rusher as well which could be a big difference. Some might not agree but i think the offense could be much better with a good physical back like Marshawn Lynch in free agency or one picked up in the draft to pair with Sankey. With an improved offensive line and running game Mett will be a much more dangerous QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 People need a roadmap? That's like hopping on I-65 and then breaking out the map to figure out how to get to Nashville.  Titans lose next week and TB wins this week or next week. Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts very well could be playing for a bye against us so hopefully they'll be going all out. #5 is worst case scenario and that is EXTREMELY unlikely. In my above post only one thing has to happen out of 8 for the Titans to pick #4 at worst. And honestly the Redskins also have a significant advantage in SOS over the Titans so in all likelihood if the Titans win next week it'll be 2 or 3 depending on how Oakland does this week against Buffalo. If Oakland beats Buffalo there is a chance that we can all root for the Titans to actually beat the Colts because they'll be locked into the 2 slot either way.  Here's another reason to root either for the Titans to lose or Jacksonville to win. If the Titans lose they're guaranteed to finish last. That means they play Oakland and likely Cleveland next year. If the Titans win and Jacksonville loses the Jaguars finish last and play those two teams while the Titans will have to play either KC/SD and either Bal/Cin/Pit.

TitansGuru Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks, guys. I kind of faded out at the end since it was almost 2:30 and I had to be up in three hours. I kind of tailed off on the explanations for the less impactful games.  I also wanted to mention the second and third tiebreakers of divisional record and a coin toss with some information on each team's divisional record. In the end I had to get to sleep. I ended up staying up another thirty tweaking some grammar anyway.   So if I'm looking at this right, with a Titans loss, we are guaranteed to pick 1st or 2nd. Correct.   People need a roadmap? That's like hopping on I-65 and then breaking out the map to figure out how to get to Nashville.  Titans lose next week and TB wins this week or next week. That is the simplest way, but not the only way, reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) @TitansGuru, I don't believe that SD/SF has any impact whatsoever for a TB/Ten tie-breaker situation.  Also, Miami is favored, not Minnesota.

This could be important especially if they field a better team next year that is winning more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â if they tie Oakland will pick behind the Titans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
