    I wonder if we are going to look for more of an all around TE like Jake Butt or more of a pass catching TE like 6'-7" Bucky Hodges or Evan Engram. I kinda would prefer to go to more of a pass catching tight end, especially if we draft 2 defenders in the first round (Foster and a CB)... it would make up for missing out on WR Corey Davis or Mike Williams

    Butt will probably fall a bit due to his torn ACL.

    Perfect place for him honestly, no rush to get on the field, and learn from some guys that do just about everything very well.

    I'd like him in the 3rd or 4th.

    @RavensShallBurn LOVES him some Butt.

    Jake Butt doesnt seem to do much really well, just an all around TE. PASS

    I know the article says there will be depth... but I'm curious if we'd take OJ Howard if he was available at #18.

    I absolutely think we take OJ Howard at 18. He's everything this team wants in a run blocker, best in the nation, and would be a potent weapon for Mariota for the next decade.

    I could see it if we trade back, so we can draft a CB and still have a 2nd rounder.

    Actually Howard sounds good, especially if we could land Pryor or some other threat on the outside in free agency.

    Our GM will pass on him..There are already question marks about his competitiveness and desire to play football.
    For Robinson in the 1st round especially he looks for a guy thats going to be the tone setter for the franchise...everything it means to be a Titan in his eyes.
    That gets overlooked alot when it comes to these mock drafts that have us picking guys with questionable behavior, me first attitude or true lack of love for the game..i.e OJ Howard, Quincy Wilson to name a few.

    I'm not sure where the lack of desire to play comes from? The interview I saw with him the other day at the Sr Bowl told me a lot about him. The guy went back to college for his senior year specifically so he could learn how to be a more complete TE and block better.

    That sounds like a serious commitment to the game and his craft. He doesn't just want to go get paid, he wants to be great at his position and be a team player.
