Another possible pick I had not thought about was Tippman from Wisconsin for C until reminded by the NFLN guys.

JMO...but I think Tanneyhill is a decent game manager that looks better when Henry is a force. When the run game is hurting and play action isn't effective he isn't the type of QB that's gonna win games. Of course bad pass protection...not much at WR and TE it makes things much worse.

Tannehill can run this offense decently if a healthy line is there. I’d rather roll with Tannehill and rebuild line this season. He’s obviously good enough to get us a division title.

I agree, you have to set the table up front for a young QB. We have to show a year for a line to gel. Otherwise you're going to get a young QB killed.

Hopefully if it is a QB, it is Hooker and not Levis.

I get the obvious issues with Malik, but I have to give him some slack for having a drunk coordinator developing him in his first season. I just don't see why these morons in the media have us needing to take a QB so badly when Tannehill is obviously a serviceable starter with a contract we can't trade and don't really save by cutting him.

I know this sounds silly, but my dream scenario as a Vols and Titans fan is to see a Vol QB get drafted to the Titans and lead them to success.

While I love Hooker, he'd be set up for failure at Tennessee as long as teh line continues to be porous. As a Vol Fan, I want the best for Hooker. As a Titan fan, I want our team built everywhere but QB so we can have a situation for the post Tannehill QB to step into and run wild.

Offensive line still needs a lot of work/support as does WR.

I’d be fine with O’Cyrus Torrance (who’s pretty much the best Guard on the board this year) to shore up the inner offensive line.

Likewise, I’d also be fine with Joe Tippmann or John Michael Schmitz to try to better the offensive line at Center.

Improvement at Tight End would also be extremely useful: of the current two top ones in the board, I’d be a bit more inclined toward Michael Mayer because of the better blocking abilities (and this is likely still going to be a run-first team); while Darnell Washington’s size has that “size appeal” everyone is going to fixate on, there are some concerns with his footwork and hand usage being unsound when blocking (an issue which defenders at the NFL level are generally able to slip away from more easily)…he’s a fantastic/intriguing matchup in the red zone, but with this offensive style, the state the offensive line was in last year, and only 5 total picks left, any tight end taken this high today also is going to need to be able to block as well to be worth it.

I know a lot of people really want Tillman or Hyatt because they’re local boys (and in the latter case people want always like the idea of a “chuck it deep” WR), but as sexy as deep passes might be, it won’t matter if the Titans can’t keep whoever’s throwing the ball up on their feet.
(And as a sidebar, I like and appreciate Hyatt for everything he did for the Vols, but I do have some concerns about what his main skill set/talent was in college translating to the professional level, that 4.4 40 time is still very good for a WR but also still discomforting/concerning for that same style at the professional level where many defensive backs tend to have a similar level of speed or be faster…was sort of hoping we would have come out of combine with a faster time.)

Likewise, I still think the team may still be able to address getting a good WR early in the 3rd (or late in the 2nd) round. If Burk is supposed to fill the same role that Brown used to fill for the team, there are still some other good WRs that very much fit the role of regularly making spectacular catches and being able to regularly adjusting their routes in ways that balance out QBs like Tannehill having to throw on the run or regularly under pressure (that pressured, usually sort of off the mark kinds of passing).
