    For one thing, the defense needs players that can tackle... not simply hit.

    If that's the case, then Leonard Williams would be the guy to choose...

    That is Danny Shelton out of Washington and he is a 340ish pound wrecking machine.

    I like it. THAT is the kind of attitude that we need. An identity again. He seems like he has a good motor too, like a bigger Aaron Donald.

    I'm fine with this pick then if he can do the job from Day 1. Hopefully we can trade back and he's still there.

    I like Shelton, but I think he gets drafted in the mid-1st rnd so I don't see how we get him.

    I also don't want to go into the draft with a true need at NT. We need to fix this glaring problem in FA. So who are the FA ILBers and NTs that we should go after.

    Like I said in the original post. We are much closer to having a solid front 7 in a 4-3 than we are in a 3-4.

    Run D with a 3-4 starts with the NT. Unfortunately we don't have a true NT on our roster besides Al Woods and he needs to be a backup at best. I'd love to have Danny Shelton if he falls into the 2nd round. He is drawing comparisons to Wilfork of the Pats, and I would LOVE to have that in the middle of our D.

    We have so many needs though, I think we will address this need via FA. I'll keep saying Dan Williams in hopes that the FO actually takes a look at him.

    Zach Brown and Avery Williamson will be our ILB's, but like any other Titans LB we shouldn't count on Brown. But he is a viable option to role into 2015 with.
