    Lol we are still ways from competing in the division. Shore up the o line this year. Next year we still have two first round picks. Use them on defense and secondary. It's still a process

    Before the video surfaced we had already made the trade out of the top 10. Before the video surfaced we had decided we did not want Tunsil. Mock drafts had us taking Conklin at 15. The video caused us to move up in the draft because Tunsil went from the 1st OT in the draft to the 3rd. So we got the guy we wanted, lower than what we wanted, but still got him and still have plenty of good picks left.

    People keep saying "you take Decker at 15", nobody knew if either tackle would be at 15, and Decker isn't even the type of tackle the Titans needed, they want a smashmouth in your face running game, why not trade up and get the guy that fits the bill. Everyone keeps saying " a RT at 8!!!" , is there somewhere that it's written that it's not ok to pick one? If the need and talent level are there, then you make the pick and call it a day.

    The Titans have two 1st round picks next year, probably both top 10 picks. Trade down with one of the picks and pick up a 2nd rounder....problem solved. This is not over, the Patriots could come calling tonight for our #33 tomorrow.

    Then we will have 2 top 10 picks. Not bad.

    5 Offensive line men drafted in the top 18 picks. That's 28%. Wonder why the Colts used their first rounder on a Center. Tell ya why: because we got Jones in free agency and they let Andrew Luck get crushed last year and he missed 9 games. Fix our lines first. I think we are on track.

    We do get to pick more players tomorrow and Saturday. I have faith in the man.
    Got to give him a chance.

    Unless they trade one of those picks to move up 8 spots to grab a LT and move Lewan over to RT and Conklin to Guard ... Just saying :reaction:

    They obviously thought Conklin the better prospect. I'm not going to pretend to know these OTs but most mocks I've seen agree.

    I hate giving up a second-rounder too. But this franchise is committed to protecting Mariota. They've made that abundantly clear.

    Decker doesn't fit what John and Mike are building Decker is not a mauler like Conklin is.

    Lol idk why people are mad we are no where close to competing take a tackle this year so you don't have to blow a pick on one next year. Take some solid corners in the second and if need be take a top corner next year. People still fail to realize we are prob still 2 years away from being competitive maybe even 3
