    I'll start out presuming that if either Ellis or Dorsey was on the board when we picked, it would be a no-brainer.

    Judging by our official site mock, there is a possibility that 1 or both these guys may still be available around pick 10.

    My question is, what would you give up to get one?

    If Ellis somehow made it past New Orleans, would you offer up our 1st, 2nd and 4th to move up and get him? (That's about what it would take on the value chart to get to Buffalo's #11 slot.)

    Me - I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    Based on the fact that we have not locked Albert up I would say go for it.

    But I cannot recall the Titans ever moving up for a player in round one.

    I'd love it but I think it would cost too much to make it happen.

    If the Titans thought they could move Brown to DE for running downs (Kearse plays the passing), then it could solve two problems.

    But what is "too much"?

    I agree with the idea of moving T.Brown to DE on early downs. That would be ideal.

    I would not give up that much for either. We aren't in a big need for a DT until Al is gone, and no one knows what'll happen there. With other holes on the team, I wouldn't trade away that many guys to get one DT.

    I also think Brown is a solid starter. Also, the d-line did well last year mostly because of pass rush. Brown moved out to end won't give much pass rush.

    IMO neither of those guys is worth the move. Both will be decent players, neither will be dominante IMO.

    Oh, I would make that trade for Gholsten.

    So, basically, screw you Vince Young?

    All we gave him new was J-mac. We have to at least draft a WR in the first two rounds.

    Not worth trading up for either when there'll be Trevor Laws, Red Bryant and Dre Moore to choose from later.

    And please, no one suggest we even think about Kentwan Balmer....big pass.
