    I would be thrilled with this scenario. Everyone has McBride going early 2nd, but he's def worth drafting late 1st IMO. Would be a perfect addition to our offense and is def a complete TE like you said.

    I was pretty much against going O-line in the 1st, just because we've spent so many high picks recently on O-line and it's definitely not sexy. I read this piece by John Glennon and he made me feel much better about going O-line, if that's what J-Rob decides to do: Why the Titans Go O-Line in the First Round. It's a good read if you have time.

    I knew the line was bad last year, but I didn't realize we were like 27th in pass blocking. Then, he points out how that correlates to how well Tannehill plays.

    Thoughts on this?

    As long as it is Zion, Penning, Neal, Cross, Green, or Ekwonu, I don't mind taking an OL first round. No one else is 1st round worthy (aside from Linderbaum, but he is a Center)

    I'm starting to really like Ridder.

    Seems like he can be everything we thought Mariota would be --- and with a better arm and 40 time..

    If the route we choose to go is QB, then the ideal way we get him, is trading back to the front side of round 2.

    I mean, I won't be overly upset if we take him in the 1st, but seems silly to take him there when you can have him at like 35 or so, and collect another draft pick.

    Only problem with that plan is you lose the 5th year option.

    What pick would you give up to have a 5th year option on AJB right now?

    Just blows me away how many idiots there are with media ties...... OL I wouldnt be thrilled with but would understand....

    However, anyone saying we're taking a LB of any capacity obviously has no idea what our roster situation is... that would be the one position (and perhaps CB) that would piss me off.

    Our last 4-5 first round picks we haven't went down that road though, so silver lining...

    2017 - Needed WR, CB. DAVIS, JACKSON
    2018 - Needed MLB. EVANS
    2019 - Needed DT/LE. SIMMONS
    2020 - Needed T. ISIAH WILSON
    2021 - Needed CB. CALEB FARLEY

    Disagree. LB is definitely a need. Maybe not as high of a need as OL or TE, but it's definitely a need.

    That being said Devin Lloyd is the only off ball LB that is worthy of a 1st round pick.

    We have Long, Cunningham, Rice, and Cole as middle linebackers. If we draft one, it should be really late if at all.

    We generally have 2 off ball LBs on any play. Cunningham and long are solid, though not spectacular starters, and each come with a decent amount of risk. Cunningham has had performance/character issues in the past. Long has only started for roughly half a season. Rice was a rookie and looks more like depth than starting material.


    I can see an argument that we don't need an immediate starter there, but our depth is ****. We absolutely need another off ball LB, whether that's a vet on a short deal, or a draft pick.
