Tennessee Titans Special Pre-Draft Links: The Only Edition

Earlier I had just glossed over this as the 1,000,000th Haynesworth related story on the Tennessean's page, but it's interesting to note that Wyatt's already proposing moving Jason Jones to the DE spot he played in college should a Haynesworth deal happen in the next few hours.
Kyle Wilson is on fire, as teams are excited about his CB skills and extensive return skills. If only we knew a team that could use a starting-caliber CB and a return specialist right there in the middle of the first round... hmmm. At this point we need to hope he lasts that long.
Here, the Tennessean's crack staff of sports guru's (almost typed it with a straight face) predicts the Titans' top pick. David Climer's theory is definitely the highlight.DAVID CLIMER, COLUMNISTDez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State. First, the Titans work a last-minute trade with Baltimore and move down to No. 25 while also getting the Falcons' third-round pick. Then they ignore prevailing wisdom that has them drafting a defensive end and take Bryant, a top-10 talent who has slipped this far because of character concerns. It's a definite reach, but the Titans need to think outside the box.
Tim Tebow's father and agent are pretty darned sure somebody is going to waste a high first round draft pick on him. I still say there's a 0.001% chance that Tebow has even a mediocre career in the NFL, outside of racking up Walter Payton Man of the Year Awards. I'm not hating on the guy, just pointing out the fact that approximately 0% of his strengths in the Florida offense are applicable to an NFL scheme. So what constitutes the 0.001% chance he has in my mind? I'm too much of an agnostic to completely dismiss the possibility. I could be persuaded, but it would take something pretty amazing at this point. Paul K has a good list of the current AFC South players who will be nervous tonight, as they may watch their team draft their replacement. The only Titan on the list is David Thornton, who has been 100% in a long time and could certainly be looking at the end of the line if we draft a LB or re-sign Keith Bulluck before the season starts. It's worth adding my email address to the end of links post because every now and then some beautiful son of a bitch like commenter Strangely Enough sends me a perfect link like this one: Journalist/columnist Matt Taibbi (whom I remember belly laughing at his prose in Rolling Stone and on Real Time with Bill Maher several years ago when he was a regular contributor) has a hilarious list of the unwritten rules of the draft that I can not urge you strongly enough to check out. Here's just a small sample of the awesomeness:RULE 1: DOPE SMOKERS ARE A BARGAINBefore the draft, teams spend far too much time worrying about the “character” issue, when the real question to ask is much narrower: “Can this player make it through his four- or five-year rookie contract without missing actual games due to incarceration?” Guys with drinking problems or who throw cell phones at their girlfriends’ heads or get pulled over driving 110 with loaded unregistered pistols in their glove boxes are bad bets. Guys who just stay home and smoke weed while giggling at Manswers are not.
If we're going to trade back and get some extra picks, we need a run on OTs and we need Jimmy Clausen to stay in the mix. PFW's latest mock has both happening. They also have us taking Jerry Hughes from TCU. If we're going to draft a pass rusher that isn't Morgan or Graham, he definitely tops my list. Peter King has the latest and greatest un-sourced, speculative information on every major NFL story going on right now. Today's afternoon bonus gem: old, embarrassing video of Big Daddy Drew from KSK committing stand-up comedy on a room fully of presumably-innocent people.Hey Mikey: Can we re-draft Keith Bulluck? Let me know at mcmaugustwest@gmail.com

That the Titans are interested in moving up in the draft.
I think as the clock ticks down to the final moments before the draft, everybody is going to have some opinion to throw up, just to see what sticks.
But we all know what people say about opinions and assholes…
agreed
I can’t see us moving up, but it would definitely be exciting. I think the last time we did that in the 1st round we came away with Eddie George.

Didn't we...
….actually move down, then back up for George? I think we actually still wound-up with a net trade-down. I don’t think we’ve ever genuinely traded up.
Oh, I'm sorry; did I poke a hole in the echo chamber?

Never Will Occur Under our GM M.R.
Trading up is a waste to him because he is about draft quantity than draft Quality

I am pumped
Everyone make sure you are here with us all night long. We will have plenty of updates and discussion. The official draft thread will open at 5 p.m. central.

Media - "How does it feel to be that fast?"
CJ - "It feels real good."
BEST STATEMENT I EVER HEARD FROM GRAMSEY
FINALLY I agree with Gramsey. Trade every pick possible to get Berry!
Trading Up or Down I like. Drafting Morgan/ JPP & doing nothing for the secondary I dislike!

Cmon
Like any NFL GMs or Scouts are browsing the web right now looking at our comments. They are too busy with phone calls with teams, agents, & players to worry with us!

I've made it four months without allowing myself to hope that this is even a remote possibility
but I’m worthless on that today…I’m working out all the ways it could possibly happen in my head, even though I really know we’ll do something I vehemently disagree with just like every other year on draft day.

The Men's Journal story is the best draft story I have ever read.

It means that we won't them to be picked
because we don’t care about them, and other players are staying on the board longer.

This is the dilemma I've been facing all day.
I think I’m going to a bar so I can have both. Unfortunately, neither will have audio.
If I hit a hole-in-one on this grand slam the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

No Dan Williams for any teams hoping to get him out of the top 10!!!!
haha. This is the main GM’s job to BS so much; nobody can imply wut direction the team is going. Lopez killed wutever the Dolphins GM has tried to kill!
still funny.
Well, that's that.
Titans + bidding war with ANYONE = player going to another team.

As much as it pains me to say it, but I agree..
When it comes down to bidding big with other teams, we always seem to bow out early.
and now...
PFT is reporting vikes WONT get him. i personally think if he gets traded it’ll before the action resumes tomorrow. look for lenwhale, scaife and tully to be potential candidates, or a “draft and trade”
