27Antonio Richardson *New Orleans Saints (11-5)
COLLEGE: TennesseeAGE: 21HT: 6-6WT: 327POS: OT
Analysis: Drew Brees will turn 35 on the day this mock draft is published, and his blind side was protected at the end of the season by rookie 2013 third-round pick Terron Armstead. I think Armstead can be a pretty good player, but I'm not coming away from this offseason without a player I think can be an effective NFL left tackle if I'm the Saints. "Tiny" Richardson can be. While he can struggle with speed rushers, Richardson is an athlete at this size, and can absorb power and simply overwhelm big or small defensive ends in the run game. He's a solid fit here.
32Antonio Richardson*Seattle Seahawks (12-2)
COLLEGE: TennesseeAGE: 21HT: 6-6WT: 330POS: OT
Analysis: If FSU WR Kelvin Benjamin or Colorado WR Paul Richardson drops to them, the Seahawks could have an interesting decision to make. Whether they go with a pass-catcher could depend on what they're expecting to get out of Percy Harvin next season. But in this scenario, I have them addressing offensive line, a position that hasn't been performing at a high level for them, in part because of Russell Okung's injury issues. Antonio Richardson is far from a finished product, but he has a chance to be a good starting tackle in the NFL if he can improve his leverage, balance and hand placement. He's got the physical tools; he's a big man with long arms and moves well.

What does everyone think about another vol to join hunter at the Titans.
The head coach likes locker and thinks he can make that work. Rb I'd agree with but its a late round pic IMO green did just fine when he was in. I think locker gets one more year then after that get petty or mariotta.
As long as Whisenhunt can get it through Jake Locker's head to NOT take on LB's in head on collisions, we'll be fine. Im a Jake Locker fan myself, he's one of, if not the toughest QB in the league, but there's a time to be smart and a time to be tough. Jake is too aggressive way too often.
The Titans devoted the last draft and off-season to shoring up the OL. They need a QB who can last longer than 5 weeks at a time, and an RB who can get through the line-of-scrimmage. What a waste of a draft choice Tiny would be.
Exactly. That's like an Oxymoron if I ever heard of one. You're "tough" when you can take a hit, get up and play the next down. Locker simply gets pushed to the ground and he sprains both a hip and a knee. He's the most fragile football player I've ever seen.Locker? Tough?

If I were him, I'd be drinking a gallon of milk a day, and lots of protein intake. And be a weight-room warrior in the offseason. If he keeps getting injured, he's going to be out of the league, just like Tebow.
