    From Todays Pigskin:

    Joshua Garnett, guard, Stanford (Round 3):

    Although Garnett is viewed as the best power-blocking interior offensive lineman outside of Kansas State, he could very likely be on the board when the Titans select at No. 64 overall in the third round. Why? Garnett fits a certain mold — as a 6-foot-5 and 325-pound mauler. Most zone-blocking teams will pass on Garnett strictly because he doesn’t fit their scheme. Garnett earned Pro Football Focus’ second-best run-blocking grade of all offensive linemen in the nation in 2015. The Titans could give him an opportunity to beat out Poutasi or Warmack early — at either guard spot — remember Poutasi has experience at offensive tackle. Garnett is the ideal fit for Mularkey’s scheme.

    Interesting concept. If we go OT with one of our first two picks as expected, would it be insane to select another rookie O lineman this year who we'd expect to start? That being said, I like the idea of a run blocking "mauler" instead of either Warmack or Poutasi.

    Thoughts?​

    I think we only need one rook on the oline personally. Im ok with poutasi, warmack, bell, jones and company battling out the 3 interior spots. But, if a talented olineman falls to us then i think we need to stick to bpa.

    Funny how these articles always call these college kids "maulers" or "road graders" and they get to the NFL to look more like weenies. Warmack before he was drafted was a road grader, and look at him now, someone a lot of people are calling a complete bust.

    Yup...I remember the claim was "Best Guard prospect in over 10 years" a complete road grader/mauler...Then he shows up out of shape and gets his fat stomach showing a$$ schooled......Lets hope he is better with talent around him.

    Warmack has terrible technique,

    He's a bust considering where he was drafted

    I don't think he is using his stomach correctly. He should smear glitter all over it and use it like a distracting spotlight.

    Garnett is good, but we have 3 OG on the roster worth battling it out for that final spot. I wouldn't spend a 3rd on a Guard this season. Maybe next season.

    Poutasi has experience at tackle. A forgettable experience.

    Bring in Vazquez and let Poutasi battle with him for the LG spot.
