    All you guys saying we've got to take ANOTHER lineman top 5, and at ONE OVERALL must be high on something. That's the only way.

    You get a game changer at #1 overall.

    If we can pickup some legit FA offensive linemen I'm all for Ramsey #1.

    Calling people crazy for wanting a LT over a S at #1 is questionable. LT has waaaaaaaaaay more positional value.

    Its too early to be making these blanket statements anyways. We'll see how everyone stacks up at the combine.

    Bosa is the pick at 1 overall. Or a DB. 2 lineman in the top ten for the titans already moved the needle in the win/loss category in the wrong direction.

    Yes, I must be high for wanting to protect Marcus Mariota. Our franchise. The guy who basically missed 5 games in just his rookie season. If we fix the OL before the draft, then I'm all ears on who to pick. As it stands, Mariota needs protection. Chalk it up as a coaching issue, chalk it up as drafting busts but the problem is still there. ANOTHER TOP PICK? Yes. Just like how we didn't blink drafting Mariota after busting with Young and Locker. Tell me more about drafting a DE in a 3-4 scheme when we already have Casey/Orakpo/Morgan or a DB. Meanwhile, Mariota will be sitting out half the season because he can't survive in the pocket.

    Correct, we have injury and depth issues. Correct, the OL free agency class is a bit better. However, as of right now, even with everyone healthy, we still have a bad OL. Is it coaching? It's a part of it but it's not the single blame. If the OL isn't fixed and take a FS #1 overall, then be prepared for the potential major consequences. Ramsey is a good player but he's not a savior of the franchise like some make him out to be. Neither is Tunsil because we need help everywhere. At least Tunsil provides various needs. Ramsey replaces Griffin. Alright. Again, still very early but until something changes I still have 1. Tunsil 2. Everyone else

    Some of you are only seeing this as an all or nothing scenario. The reality is, the Titans NEED to fix the OL AND add playmakers to the defense. I think with a solid to good OL, we can actually see with our rb's and wr's because we will be able to move the chains and sustain drives and not live in 3rd and long.

    While improving the OL is the most important thing, it is the hardest thing to fix because I think most of the problem is a coaching/scheme issue. So WHEN we get a NEW HC and NEW GM and a NEW OC and a NEW OL coach, we can see what we will have. I didn't like Whisenhunt's system as it got our QB's beaten up and I don't like our OL coach. No one has gotten better...everyone has gotten worse. Players who have left here have done demonstrably better. That's coaching and scheme fit problems.

    I still would go after some good-great FA OL. We have the cap room...SPEND IT!!! Alex Mack and a good OT would be a nice start! Same with the D! If we could add Josh Norman and Eric Berry....we'd all be pretty psyched for the draft and next season! Combine that with a good GM and HC hires...and we're good.

    I haven't done enough research but I think we should trade out of the top spot. Ravens look like they will pick 8th now which gives us a little more flexibility. And honestly, if we can drop down to about 5, we should get Ramsey or Hargreaves at worst. If we drop to 10, we may lose out on a particular position but still will probably have a shot at a CB, LB, OT, or RB.

    think our O-Line problem can be helped with a #1 overall selection of an OT?......

    Trade back to San Fran for the 5th pick, their 2nd and future 1st. Get 6'2 S/CB Ramsey from Florida state. Get Derrick Henry with 1 of the 2nd round picks, get a DB/RT with the other. You don't draft a RT with the first pick, period
