Tennessee Titans 2011 NFL Draft Picks Today

by Jimmy on Apr 30, 2011 8:59 AM CDT in NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans still have six picks in the 2011 NFL Draft. Their first pick this morning is pick #109 (the 12th pick in the 4th round). They also have a compensatory pick in the 4th round (#130). Then they have picks #142, #175, #212, and #251. The draft starts at 11 AM central today.

As I said last night, I really like what the Titans have done in this draft so far. The 2011 draft has been a lot different than any other because teams are drafting more for need after not being able to fill holes in free agency. The Titans seem to have addressed needs while not reaching for players. Some people feel they reached for Jake Locker, but he was the guy they wanted. Second round pick Akeem Ayers was graded as a first rounder by most people, including the Titans. Jurrell Casey looks to be a good third round value.

Today I expect them to add some depth on defense but don't be surprised to see them target Luke Stocker with that first pick. I am also hearing that they will target a running back at some point in the final four rounds.

The open draft thread will post at 10:30 central.

Why would they target a tight end?

They don’t use the ones we’ve got!!

We Need a SS, C, G, and another LB

I'm gonna punch someone if I hear Casey Matthews again

I’m alright taking him later today, but please shut up.

Now along the lines of running back, I think Roy Helu, Jr. would be a good choice.

At SS, maybe Tyler Sash of Iowa?

Don’t think we should take a TE. We’ve got to capable ones. Other positions should be addressed.

With as many two tight end sets that we run and Scaife apparently on his way out....

TE depth becomes a need.

by bullrider73 on Apr 30, 2011 10:22 AM CDT up reply actions

Well once free agency is open again

we can just bring in some undrafted. Most teams that I can think of aren’t using three important TE’s all the time so we could probably scoop one up via free agency.

Well find someone to punch because I'm going to be repeating his name over and over today...

Some have a fourth round grade on him, some a fifth, but I would love for us to call his name. There are some great LBs still available though with Greg Jones and Quan Sturdivant.

Have you looked at tape of him?

I just haven’t been that impressed by him and he’s had repeated shoulder injuries so I worry that even if he is decent, he won’t be able to be on the field all the time.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m just as interested as the next guy in a LB with the last name MATTHEWS, I’m just a little worried too.

and the whole “have you looked at tape of him?” wasn’t an attack, I’m just curious if you have.

Like to see them draft!

With the #109 pick LB Mark Herzlick Boston College and #130 pick DE/LB Chris Carter Fresno State or DE Sam Acho Texas.

by bendel1974 on Apr 30, 2011 10:04 AM CDT reply actions

Definately would love the Herzerlich pick

He used to have a Top 10 grade before the cancer and he will be a nice addition to any team that drafts him. I see Chris Carter is better suited as a 3-4 OLB but Acho could be a possibility.

Tyler Sash, he's a Hawkeye.

I’d like us to take a WR with one of our 4th round picks. Duenta Williams (S) from UNC is another good option.

Has DJ Williams (TE) Arkansas been selected yet?

Agreed.

But still.

by rsikes on Apr 30, 2011 10:07 AM CDT reply actions

Luke is a pretty good receiving and blocking TE.

Denarius Moore wouldn’t be a bad late round receiver to look at. Although he’s not that big. We have some good recivers, but we will also be letting two walk in Gage and Moss. And Hawk is at best uncertain with what little we’ve all seen him play.

I'm doubly biased here

but both Stocker and Denarius are undervalued – they played in a different offense every single year of their college careers, hard to get any stability. What Moore did once Tyler Bray took over was ridiculous – kid can play.

I'm just as biased. But that doesn't make it any less true.

They both started to shine once Bray took over. It would’ve been fun to see them with Bray for more than one season but oh well. I’m excited to see Bray in his second season.
