Tackle is a priority, so I agree

Let's go J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!! For me I'll be satisfied with pretty much anyone realistic except Lattimore or trubisky at 6. I'd be thrilled with jamal Adams or Watson or trading down to 12 and snagging Watson there if he's there

I'm a big Titans fan, so I'm excited to see what we do tonight!

CB, WR, or best available at 5? Same question at 18. Maybe a trade? Maybe two trades?! The possibilities are exciting!

Personally, I really hope we get O.J. Howard. That man is big and fast and just extremely talented.

I'm aware of this, but there is pressure on Rick Smith to draft a QB early after not drafting one early in his entire tenure, and never having a franchise QB. Matt Schaub is the Texans' all-time leading passer. Sage Rosenfels is #3. Brock Osweiler, after not even playing a full season, is their #4 all-time leading passer at 2,900 passing yards. The organization feels pressure to draft a QB early, even if Rick Smith doesn't. I love Garrett Bolles. He has great work ethic and has really turned his life around. Most people don't know what it takes to serve and LDS mission and return honorably, but I do, and Bolles managed to do that. That requires a serious turnaround from a troubled youth. He will emerge as the best tackle from this class, and when Duane Brown retires, he can move to LT. RT is a huge hole. I feel that they'll go QB, though. I would love either RT or QB as a draft pick.

WalterFootball.com reported that the Titans were leaning towards defense at 5, offense at 18, but were willing to trade down. They also preferred the top 2 safeties over the cornerbacks, and Marlon Humphrey is their favorite cornerback. John Ross was their most likely selection at 18, since they preferred him over Corey Davis and David Njoku, plus they didn't feel that Mike Williams or OJ Howard would make it to their pick. After free agency and their great additions to the secondary, they said that they're now leaning towards offense at 5 and defense at 18, but definitely want to trade down a bit from 5. Their top two targets at 5 are Mike Williams and OJ Howard. At 18, their top 2 targets are reportedly Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie. If they want Awuzie and Williams, they could probably trade down and net a 2nd rounder as well as another 3rd rounder.

To be fair until he hit the wall Shaub was arguably a top 5 QB.

I don't see Miami passing on Watt, Lamp, or Foster at 22, and certainly not for secondary when their pass rush and offensive line need massive work. But good job all around.

Hey, thanks for the input. There are a couple teams that I don't follow very closely; those include the Bengals, Dolphins, Lions, and Broncos. For each of those teams (aside from Broncos, whose obvious needs are OT 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and TE 4th), I was kind of scratching my head on what they'd need. Especially the Dolphins and Bengals.

As a Bengals fan, I see them going linebacker. Foster out of Alabama seems to be the popular choice.

49ers going DE for the 3rd straight year makes no sense to me at all. It'd be like the Cowboys selecting a Running back.
