Da'Quan Bowers to Visit the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday

in the “Ten Things I Think I Think”, #’s 2 and 3:

2. I think Clemson pass-rusher Da’Quan Bowers was underwhelming Friday in his campus workout and will slip out of the top 10. In November, he looked all but sure to be a top-five pick if he came out, but after undergoing postseason arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus, he needed a great effort Friday. He was just so-so. And to show how far his star has fallen, only one coach (Ken Whisenhunt) and two general managers (Thomas Dimitroff, Buddy Nix] attended the workout. He ran two 40-yard dashes in the 4.95-second range. To show you how mediocre a time that is, understand that 11 of the 14 tight ends at the Scouting Combine in February ran faster than 4.9.

3. I think the Bowers drop could be a very good thing for Atlanta or Tampa Bay. The Falcons, picking 27th in the first round, are almost certainly too low for Bowers, but the Bucs, who have assumed all along he’ll be long gone by the time they choose at number 20, might be mistaken. Either way, both teams have a long-term rush need. Maybe they’ll determine by the time of the draft Bowers has lost too much and doesn’t have the speed they need to be a rush end. But at least he’s in their ballpark now instead of being in the top-five area.

Nobody from TN was there…this is just posturing IMO

Bowers’ stock: Even before what was reported to be an unimpressive pro day Friday, the stock of Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers was falling, according to Adam Schefter:

"For starters, teams have medical questions about him and his knees. It’s a real concern. Another front-office exec told me that his biggest questions about Bowers were not his medicals but his video. He watched the tape and didn’t see what some others have. He said that of Bowers’ 15 sacks last season, six came when he wasn’t blocked and three others came from a certain kind of scheme — so his 15 sacks last season are effectively down to six. The film also showed his effort was not consistent and his production was spotty.

"After listening to some people talk about Bowers, it will not surprise me if he falls out of the top 10 or even out of the top 20."

I wrote last week about Bowers as an attractive option for the Titans at No. 8 overall. Would his his medical issues prompt them to pass?
