    On Levitre's contract:
    "It’s hard to imagine the Titans not trying to re-work the contract. Or if that didn’t pan out, he could be designated as a post-June 1 cut, which would open up $6.5 million under the salary cap (even though the Titans would still be paying Levitre $2.1 million), according to overthecap.com."

    What does future hold for Titans’ biggest moneymakers?

    This all makes this pick more interesting. They might ask Poutasi to play G and RT in camp. They might be working to rework Levitre and, if he declines, release him, roll Warmack to LG, put Poutasi at RG (or vice-versa) and play Bell or someone they take tomorrow in the fourth at RT.

    I was thinking the same thing, but there was a run on OT's, so I guess Webster felt some other team would beat us to it, like Cincy beat us to Jake Fisher.

    If we take Clemmings or Daryl Williams in the 4th, we can do this. Levitre was awful last year, Poutasi is best suited to play LG, where he can be a mauler in the run game. Williams/Clemmings battle with Byron Bell and Stingily for the RT spot. Hopefully the rookie wins the spot and becomes a franchise RT.

    Poutasi is the youngest player in this draft. He's also Polynesian (I think Tongan rather than Somoan) which usually means he's not close to fully physically developed at 20.

    A little underwhelmed with this pick, but so thrilled with Mariota/DGB, they can't all be perfect lol. We needed a RT, and I hope he plays there, but there was definitely better OT on the board. If he ends up a decent OG, I guess that will be good, but we really need a RT in this draft. Bell or Stingily won't cut it man.

    Getting that oline fixed will be a huge impact. If they can find 2 starting linemen in the draft, that would be fantastic. You've saved money, and are very young. Worked for the cowboys.

    Really wanted Eli Harold with this pick, and I think when we look back in a couple years we're all gonna wish the same.

    Idk anything about Poutasi, but at the very least it sounds like he should be able to play guard.

    Hoping we take Ajayi and Clemmings with our two 4th rounders.

    If we don't get Clemmings, we could take a chance on Collins in the 6th. If he's dirty, we straight up cut him right away. No big loss.

    If we don't end up with a RT, we need to sign Barksdale and just have a competition between he, Bell, and Poutasi.
