I am neither a KY or a Titans fan, bit I do see the logic of picking Levis. As a UT fan it would have been nice to see Hooker on a home state team. First consideration would Levis from KY or Hooker from TN put more butts in the seats, I don't really know. Levis performance against TN had a variable nobody mentions, that is that Tim Banks was the co DC at Penn State the 3 years that Levis was at PSU. He knew the guys tendencies and Banks stint at Memphis under West saw his DB's ranked 9th in the nation. West was far from a staff of Defensive coaching stars. Banks to me is the unsung star of the TN coaching staff considering the talent he inherited and coaching "D" in a Heupel system. The downside was the NFL teams allowing Levis to fall out of the 1st round. But I still shake my head thinking about Richardson's draft position for the Colts. Not that they should have picked Levis at 4 but their needs vs talent available at 4 vs Richardson's real value does not add up to me. The FL QB was athletic and mobile but a team built around his skill set seems like a better fit vs is the guy really a 4th pick worthy selection. If Levis was projected to not be available later in the 2nd round but was expected to be picked higher than he was but was available that tells me that the Titans rated him higher than Hooker head to head so they jumped for value. That does not mean they would not have picked Hooker if he was available from where they traded from in the 2nd round. The NFL seems to be moving towards the scrambling athletic QB's and Levis is not that guy. The Titans seem to want to play power football and have a QB that can pass and has a strong arm but not make mistake. Levis fits but what about his decision making process and a rep for being over confident. Many of the NFL talking heads seem to believe that was a downside for Levis. Also Kooker has a knee injury and nobody knows for sure what his game will be like until they see him on the field. Just some random thoughts on the draft pick.
