cenj Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 In my ideal offseason, I'd like to see us grab an OLB with that 2nd rounder as well as sign one premier OLB in free agency. Replace both spots next year, Have Williams and Casey on the DL with a true NT (which we also need to target in FA). I think we could survive with Williamson & ZB in the middle, along with some 2nd tier FAs/ late round prospects. That would be a massive turnaround in the front 7 in one offseason and we'd still have options in draft and FA for other positions -- maybe a big-bodied WR with our 3rd/4th.

OILERMAN Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 http://www.tennessean.com/story/titansinsider/2015/01/22/utah-de-olb-orchard-senior-bowl/22175151/ MOBILE, Ala. — One of the players who likely upped his NFL draft stock following three days of Senior Bowl practice was Utah defensive end/outside linebacker Nate Orchard. The 6-foot-3, 251-pounder was a menace during Thursday's North team practice, hauling down one running back for a significant loss and intercepting a screen pass. He made several such plays throughout all three practices. "I feel like I was very productive," Orchard said. "Day one I felt a little rusty, not being in pads for about a month and a half. But coming out here the last two days have been good. Transitioning and getting back into my groove has been working really good for me." A projected first- or second-round pick, Orchard piled up 18.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss during his senior season. He played a 4-3 defensive end for the Utes, but would be an outside linebacker in a 3-4 system. Orchard spent time at both positions this week. "I think I showed the scouts my versatility, and that I'm able to drop back in coverage and do those things," Orchard said. "(Playing in a 3-4) wouldn't be a problem at all. Just learning the scheme would be the issue, but in time that wouldn't be a problem." The 22-year-old Orchard, who is married and has a daughter, is especially proud of one of his characteristics. "My leadership," Orchard said. "My teammates can lean on me in hard times, when they need me on the field or whatever they're going through." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, Nate is already a married family man with a daughter at 22. Might have his responsibilties together. Says he has leadership characteristics. Seems to be busting ass out there and making it happen. Wonder if he will be there at 33? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamRamrod Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Problem is we have a kid who had 18.5 sacks and is a terror in Sr. Bowl practices. That doesn't measure up to a guy who will make it out of the 1st round to me. I haven't watched him yet but I know some people that really don't like his tape.

OILERMAN Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Orchard is apparently good with his hand down but not good standing up. He'd still have a ton of value even if he only played in passing situations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansfan Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Grayson will get over drafted because lack of depth at QB after Winston or Mariota. Grayson is not that good and did not stand out at Senior Bowl practices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson is not that good and did not stand out at Senior Bowl practices. He's not a world beater, but he was the best QB at the senior bowl. His skills are more translatable to the NFL than any other QB in this draft imo, when considering Winston's baggage. This is an absolutely horrible QB class though. I'd be surprised if any of them ever turn into a long term starter in the NFL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
