SUMMARY: Titans scouts and coaches will soon begin the process of making their final draft evaluations and recommendations. Next week, GM Floyd Reese, Coach Jeff Fisher and the team's scouting staff will meet all next week to decide what to do with the third pick of the first round and the nine other choices in this year's draft. Many predict the first pick will be a QB though Reese won't tip his hand. "I don’t know if it hurts us or helps us really," Reese said. "Right now, especially with where we are in the draft, all the so-called experts are going to say the same thing about the first two, three or four teams and what they need. Every one of them says Houston is going to take Bush, but if you get to 15, then maybe five of them get that right, and when you get to 30, none of them get that right."

We're taking a QB but where? If New Orleans doesn't trade down and they take Mario Williams or D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Jammal Brown doesn't work out at LT - a lot of peeps think he's a RT) we have all 3. Why take VYoung at #3 when he could be there at say #7? It depends on the value they put on that pick and what they can get. We may trade down depending on how we value Leinart (primarily).

but the raiders are very fond of young and why would it matter about leinart anymore, hes basically not even a pick in my opinion since he went public about saying that he doesnt know if he wants to be a pro football player or an actor or whatever

umm, in that article (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9372948) Judge makes the statement that Leinart doesn't know what he wants. Leinart never comments at all. That story was concocted by friends of Leigh Steinberg, the first line really says it all.

If we are sitting there at #3 with all three QBs to choose from and we have one of those QBs rated as clearly the best of the bunch I think you stay put and take that guy.

Definitely. The exciting thing is that it looks like that may very well happen. Before the Brees trade, it looked like we'd have an easy pick because everyone was saying that Bush/Leinart/Young were a lock for the top 3, and the Titans would just take the leftover of those guys.

The Brees trade is the biggest single shakeup move of the draft so far, at least from our perspective.

The pressure has to have been mounting for Reese since that day because now he doesn't have the luxury of just picking the obvious (unless someone trades up for Leinart or Young). If our pick is a bust and one of the other QBs flourishes somewhere it will greatly impact Reese's job. I bet he won't get much sleep over the next two weeks, maybe not much over the next two years.

but if they were smart they would have been going vince all the way, clear and easy decision for me and 2 other guys at least that i know of

Ok, I've ignored it for like a week. This is NOT a clear and easy decision. We have two QBs (maybe 3, depending on opinion of cutler) that are incredibly talented and have the potential to be the face of their franchises for the next ten years. However, both are significant risks. You can't say that Vince Young will definitely be a success in the NFL, you also can't say it for Leinart. I'm incredibly excited about this draft and our choices, and can't wait to see who we go with, but one thing I can't agree with, it's not an easy decision.

I'm really looking forward to the Titans picking Voung and also to see how the rest of the draft pans out.

I wanna see if the Titans make a move to get a 3rd rounder, and to see if they take a MLB in the 2nd round which IMO, they should.

Yeah, I think we could package 6th or 7th round pick with Volek/McNair, Sirmon or Piller to get back to the third.

ESPN just did a brief piece on how hard it is to make a decision about a QB. The bust factor etc. There were several quotes from some coaches and fisher said this..paraphrase..."the coach likes one guy, the GM another and the other coaches and scouts want you to draft someone else". ..

Does this mean that all these guys are on a different page? Chow likes lienart, fisher likes young and reese likes cutler?

I think that will always be the case, and that was what Fisher meant. Just look at how divided opinions of te QB are on this forum. Why should the Titans organisation be any different?

I would not be shocked if Reese and Adams liking Young. Chow and Fisher Leinart. Guess who wins that one?

reese and adams would win it haha, but i hope that fisher likes young and same with chow, because having vince at qb will let us do so many more plays, which would make us a much more dangerous team to play

Very interesting reading but we simply cant believe anything Fisher, Reese or anyone else is saying. Making it sound like they all have different opinons keeps everyone guessing. What Coach Fisher said may or may not be true we will probably never know for sure who liked which qb.

unless they tell us, but does the coach really have that much of a say in who we are going to get, or does he address where we need someone else like the problem areas for our team
