As we all know the Titans lost their opportunity to have the first overall selection in the upcoming draft.
Damn Saints!
Let's get this out of the way first. I don't think we should draft Winston, but if we do I will support him. That being said, I don't see Andrew Luck rookie season turn around potential in Famous Jameis. Although Jameis does throw the ball beautifully and his team truly views him as a leader I just don't see enough of a jump from Mett to him, as far as skill, to off set the off field baggage. Also, the amount of times our QBs got hit was ridiculous so unless Jameis is not human he would probably get hurt too.
The play here to get the Titans back competing for AFC South championships again is to trade out of the two spot. Let's lay out some scenarios:
Jets: We move down to six pick up at least 3 additional pick in this years draft and a couple in next years draft. We can still address defense at 6 plus add more pieces throughout the draft or package those pics to move up in a later round, a la Justin Hunter trade.
Eagles: This would be nuts! I don't think it can happen with us unless Tampa drafts Winston or Leonard Williams at number 1. So put this on the side and if in fact Tampa leaves Mariota we will have a few minutes to hold the king's ransom and cash in big time.
These are the two big scenarios I have heard swirling but others to consider:
Rams, Bills, Texans, Skins.
Rams deal could be intriguing since they pulled something similar recently.
Bills new coach means new qb, but what could they offer?
Please don't trade with the Texans all we need is to be cursed!
Skins would be a nice fit if they boot RGIII.
The Titans have numerous problems as a franchise and no one person in this draft can change that. There is nothing I don't like about Mettenberger. We just have to distance ourselves from the hype machine which we call the draft and we will be able to turn that pick into multiple starters. It's simply a numbers game.
What do you think, Mett or Winston?
