    I'd probably do it if it were a better draft for our needs, no one at 15 would really jump out to me, but Idk if the eagles would it at all.

    Provided we sign Koppen.

    1. Luke Kuechly LB Boston College
    - We go BPA, and end up with the best linebacker in the draft/college football.
    Him and McCarthy will be a force for years to come. I'll let Munch and Jerry decide who plays WLB.

    2. Vinnie Curry DE Marshall
    - Still my favourite DE in the draft, but his stock has dropped, I just hope it drops down to us in the second round. He looks like a Titan.
    3. Josh Chapman DT Bama
    - Bargain in the third round, we get a huge man who can plug the gaps. Would like Martin or Ta'amu here as well. Dt is very deep in class this year.
    4. TY Hilton WR Florida Int
    - Playmaker, could see some time in the slot and at KR/PR.
    5. Josh Norman CB Coastal
    6. Rishaw Johnson G Cali(PA)
    7. Adrian Hamilton DE Prarie View


    Top UDFA targets
    Renard Williams DT Eastern Washington
    Tony Dye SS UCLA
    David Paulson TE Oregon

    I don't know if Chapman will fall to us in the 3rd.

    So if we sign a Center, and Hutch only plays LG... who do you have playing RG for us being that you didnt draft a lineman in that draft (Matthews is a backup at best)

    Also I wouldnt draft Luke Kuechly in the first. Great combine number but nothing amazing on tape... reminds me of Tulloch, he isnt a play maker, just racks up tackles.. that could be had in the 4th round

    I'm going to defend Kuechly a little bit here because unless someone is laying some big hits or makes some acrobatic plays usually film isn't all that great. He gets the job done and wraps up his tackles, he doesn't go for the highlight play all the time like some guys do. Yeah some other guys might look more impressive but the Titans have made it very clear we're going after football players. So all the guys who stock is rising because of the combine probably won't get much attention from us.

    Amano or Harris or Velasco, whoever Munch wants.

    Nothing amazing on tape???????????????? Have you watched the tape. He made ever tackle for BC and blew up the combine. The guy is a brilliant LB and future Pro bowler, and IMO is twice the player McCarthy was coming out of college.

    I just updated my 1st round mock tell me what you think, I've been working on this and moving players around so I'm scared I might have left someone out of the 1st I didn't mean to. I added a comment to each pick.

    1:Indianapolis- Andrew Luck, QB
    -Lock

    2:Washington- Robert Griffin III, QB
    -Lock

    3:Minnesota- Matt Kalil, T
    -Close to lock as possible. If Minnesota doesn't go Kalil they should just move the team.

    4:Cleveland- Trent Richardson, RB
    -Lots of options here and Cleveland will be the team that could shake up the draft. Might as well go Trent here who can sure up the RB position and help McCoy out.

    5:Tampa Bay- Morris Claiborne, CB
    -Easy pick for them.

    6:St Louis- Justin Blackmon, WR
    -Would not be surprised one bit if they go OL or go Cox knowing Fisher. I don't think he's that stupid though.

    7:Jacksonville- Melvin Ingram, DE
    -There's plenty of WR depth later on and Jags always seem to draft DE's. Coples or Ingram? Ingram is higher on my board even though I'm hoping they take the bust.

    8:Miami- Ryan Tannehill, QB
    -Yuck but they'll go QB.

    9:Carolina- Fletcher Cox, DT
    -My how high his stock has climbed, Carolina got a good one. Thought about going Coples or even Floyd to give Newton a weapon but Cox should be the pick.

    10:Buffalo- Riley Reiff, T
    -Again, almost went with Floyd here. Sure up the OL before you start adding weapons.

    11:Kansas City- David DeCastro, G
    -This is where the fun starts. If KC decides to pass on DeCastro in favor of the depth later on we will have ourselves quite a mess. I'm sure KC is very intrigued in Poe but I think they make the smart decision in DeCastro.

    12:Seattle- Luke Kuechly, LB
    -You know I really like this guy but when working on this mock the highest I've had him was 9 but I can see him falling into the mid 20's. LB is a great position and it's a shame the value is starting to go down a bit. He's the guy this year that has top 10 talent but because of team needs the fall could head mighty low.

    13:Arizona- Jonathan Martin, T
    -Hard to go WR when your QB doesn't have time to throw the ball.

    14: Dallas- Mark Barron, S
    -They need help in the backfield bad. Went back and forth between him and Dre Kirk but Barron is needed at the Safety position.

    15:philadelphia- Dontari Poe, DT
    -Reid loves his DT's and will be very happy to see what he can do with Poe.

    16:New York Jets- Michael Floyd, WR
    -Surprise! If you go read some mocks it's be either Upshaw, Barron, or some other DE. Well Floyd is rising up the boards and the Jets could use a young talented WR. Might as well give whomever their QB is a nice target.

    17:Cincinnati- Stephon Gilmore, CB
    -Would put Dre Kirk here but Cincy is trying to clean up their act a bit. Would put Glenn here but think they would take the risk rather than leaving Gilmore out there. They go CB and T in some order though.

    18:San Diego- Courtney Upshaw, DE
    -I think it's a nice fit, San Diego has gone down hill so fast.

    19:Chicago- Quinton Coples, DE
    -Just one pick away! Unfortunately the Bears need DE help pretty bad. This gives them a pair of UNC DE's.

    20:Tennessee- Dre Kirkpatrick, CB
    -Oh look it's the guy in my sig. I really tried not being a homer with this pick and messing around with my latest mock I've had Barron, Coples, and Upshaw here. Dre Kirk is a great fit here and we can move Verner back in the slot where I think he's better. Those 2 and McCourty give us a great trio of young and very talented CB's. Almost went Brockers here but he scares me and I think the FO is scared of him.

    21:Cincinnati- Cordy Glenn, G/T
    -See their first pick.

    22:Cleveland- Mike Adams, T
    -Almost went Kendall Wright but OL is a big need. They can go WR with their next pick and get solid value.

    23: Detroit- Janoris Jenkins, CB
    -Not sure about this pick anymore but tough situation for Detroit, who else is there? I would trade down but I'm not getting in that, Jenkins fills a need.

    24:pittsburgh- Dont'a Hightower, OLB
    -I'm not gonna lie I want this to happen, great LB going to a team filled with legends. Hightower will be a beast there.

    25: Denver- Michael Brockers, DT
    -Dream scenario for Denver comes true.

    26:Houston- Kendall Wright, WR
    -Gotta get someone across from AJ.

    27:New England- Jerel Worthy, DT
    -Patriots need help on the defensive line.

    28:Green Bay- Shea McClellin, DE/OLB
    -Apparently they're in love with this guy, take it however you want.

    29:Baltimore- Peter Konz, C
    -Thought about going Harrison Smith here but hey they need a Center.

    30:San Francisco- Whitney Mercilus, DE
    -A lot have a WR or TE for the 49ers but when you have a nice selection of DE's here you might as well pull the trigger.

    31:New England- Chandler Jones, DE
    -Quickly rising up draft boards. Again, almost went Harrison Smith here.

    32:New York Giants- Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
    -Another weapon for Eli.

    Notes:
    -I'm warming up to Smith, I think he's a 1st round pick but don't know where to put him.
    -The more I do research on team needs and players the more crazy I think this draft will be. I can easily see multiple trades in the 1st and way out there draft picks.
    -Cleveland and Kansas City are the two teams that can shake this draft up the most. Look down a little bit and Philadelphia has that same impact.
    -Titans will be going BPA on defense for sure. Doing so many scenarios we always end up with great value with the pick. Unless everyone decides to hate offense and go all defense we should be fine. Best case for each position would be: Coples, Brockers, Hightower, Barron, and Dre Kirk. I'm being realistic with that list. I have Hightower over Kuechly and I don't understand the hype around Gilmore at all. His measurables? Yuck, he won't be a bust but not worth a 1st round pick. Would love to have Barron but can't a team not taking the top Safety. Trade down for Harrison Smith or DL that I had following? That would be very tempting.
    -I'm very tired, sorry for my rambling. Insomnia FTW!
