Titans WIN race for the 1st overall pick

[Mythos27]

@rns90 I just took a look at the projected FA OTs and I think even outside of the guys likely to be re-signed we'll have some options. My personal favorite option is a young guy from the Jags named Walker Little. I've watched him a bit and he can definitely play. His pff grade is unspectacular but solid and I think he can be even better. I think he can play both LT and RT and will only be 26 when he signs. Now, the Jags might want to keep him since moving Cam Robinson so we might have to outbid them for him but it would be my ideal solution.

Personally, I'd favor signing a vet RT and drafting a receiver high but I haven't looked at the project FA OTs yet. 

Free agent RTs?  Not good.

The conversation about Levis being a starter should be over. He needs a year or two more...somewhere else.

He needs to be fired off into the sun at the end of the year .

 

Almost anyone is better than navigating the pocket than he is .  Dude treats it like a fire drill every time there’s pressure.

FWIW, Tankathon has us taking Ward in the first round, and a Right tackle in the early 2nd round

Little would be a solid RT

The jewel in the OL FA class this offseason is not an OT but Chiefs RG Trey Smith who is about to become a very rich man and takeover as the highest paid IOL in NFL history which currently is Eagles G Landon Dickerson who sits at $21 million APY.

I hate to say this but I'd rather have Travis Hunter than any QB in this coming draft.

Unless they sign Radunz, they will need a RG.  The open question is how much AAS wants to spend after last year's splurge.  Can't see them spending heavy on Smith, but who knows at this point?

Radunz makes way more sense. Spending on interior line is hard to sell especially when you have examples like brunskil steping in like a boss with cush out.

[GLinks]

I’d take Travis Hunter as well just for the reasons of being without Hopkins and practically Burks, too.  McMillan could be a possibility as well at 6’5” 212. But Hunter because there’s definite questions at WR, and who knows with Sneed and Awuzie — you’d project to be set at CB when when your starters pretty much missed the season (so far) due to injury, what can you really say you have there for next year?

 

If not QB and still inside top 10, I feel like EDGE or WR probably, in that order.

You would think teams like the Bears and Patriots who have putrid OL and young QB's would be involved in the Trey Smith sweepstakes.

 

Regarding FA OT no idea whether Steelers LT Dan Moore Jr could play RT he has ranked well in ESPN's pass blocking win rate so far this season.

Not just holding it too long but stepping up or running into the sack like a moron

When I say hold it, I am including where he runs himself into pressure or a sack too.

Assuming Callahan is here, you'd think paying top dollar for an all-time great OL coach would not mean it requires every spot to be high priced FA's or top draft picks.....
