    And for the 100th year in a row the outcry for a #1 WR has started. What was the point of drafting DGB if not to become the #1? He has every physical trait of Treadwell, just needs the polish.

    Treadwell has better hands, but DGB is bigger, stronger, faster. Treadwell doesn't run routes, just like DGB!

    I dnk what to tell you, man. We need one because we continue to not get one. And not for nothing but this isn't our first rodeo with project WRs. I'm kinda getting tired of taking these dudes and waiting for them to develop only to see them crash and burn.

    Aren't we suppose to have one of the best WR coaches, too? Da fuq is happening.

    We are going to have the first pick in the draft, and I have no idea what we should do with that.

    The outcry for a WR is still loud because we have the worst WR group in the league. But I already know we won't find one in this draft, so no bother trying. We need to sign a decent FA WR like Jeffrey or Sanu and hope DGB takes a step forward. That would at least make it a decent unit for the time being.

    I think there is next to zero chance Jeffery hits FA. I think the risk of signing Josh Gordon is worth it and maybe Wright can be useful in getting him to sign here. If that doesn't work I Marvin Jones too.

    I think it would be harder for Webster to justify taking an OT at the top of the draft after he has already spent 2 premium picks on the OL. At least if a new guy makes that pick he can say, "Well, I didn't pick those fools."

    It's December and I've already resigned myself to the fact that we're going to take the guy I don't want because it's what the Titans do to me every year. :disappointed:

    Football is won in the trenches on both sides of the ball....that is a fact.

    OL needs to be addressed through the draft or FA, but it is crucuial as the run game will be non existent and the pass game will become limited regardless of who our WR's our.

    Qb's need time and a RB needs holes.....a strong O-line will make the avg RB look great...ask Emmitt Smith

    Anybody who says we have ignored the offensive line has been asleep. 2 top 11 draft picks, another 3rd rd pick and a 4th rd pick. A top free agent signing and a few other significant free agent signing.

    When your entire premise is totally wrong people should not bother responding.

    He better not ignore the offensive line, we need an improvement at RT, LG, and C.. or atleast 2 of them. I'd love to sign a legit offensive linemen and pair it with a Day 1 or 2 starter.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted one of the franchise tackles with our 1st pick. Personally, i'd prefer to go DE/CB... but I see the appeal. We don't want Mariota getting hit, Lewan has had an up/down season & we have a huge hole at RT. Blah blah blah

    At least defense is much closer to being legit. Some help in the secondary is much needed. Whether its through the draft of FA there needs to be some serious shuffling back there! A few decent players at CB/S and this defense would be really good.

    That being said, I think the main focus in the draft should be on offense. Does that mean OL or is there a legit WR that will make an impact? Are they ready to throw away a second round RB and draft high at that position again?

    There's really a lot of ways the draft could go. Let's see how bad they screw it up.
