2012 NFL Draft: The Senior Bowl Starts Today

by Jimmy on Jan 23, 2012 8:43 AM CST in 2012 NFL Draft

This week is the annual Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Obviously a lot of the guys who will go in the first round won't be there because they are underclassmen, but there are still a lot of guys down there who can really help their stock with a big week.

As Titans fans, Melvin Ingram is a guy to look for updates on. I have seen him going everywhere from the top 15 to the second round in mock drafts so far. Defensive end is a huge need for the Titans, and he is a guy that will definitely be on their radar.

A few quick hits:

Mocking the Draft has five players who could break out this week. Of the most interest to the Titans on that list would be Jamell Fleming. They will need a corner if Cortland Finnegan ends up elsewhere, although they might not want to take one from Oklahoma. That didn't work out so well last time.

Jommy's just screwing with me now.

Last time I complained about all the Alabama players in pictures, so he’s switched to posting my boy Tyler Bray take a sack.

In all seriousness, I love the Senior Bowl. I look forward to the coverage of it.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

Not sure if this guy's foot is completely healed....

AND….not sure the Titans want to go with another D-Lineman AGAIN in this year’s draft. I think there will be plenty of D talent in the 3rd & 4th rounds. I would use our first 2 picks on offense (C/G & WR).

G/C is a real need, but WR?

Does anyone believe that defense wins championships or do we need to have the best offense imagineable?

RB. Check (could use depth)
QB: Check
TE: Check
WR: Britt, Wash, Damian, Hawk. What use does a 1/2nd round WR establish here?

Again Ball will be foregoing his senior season at WU. So we can refuel offense next year. I think we should take a few lineman this draft for offense & grab the rest through free agency. We need to focus on defense with this draft & save the RB/WR power additions next year!

this what i have been telling them but they refuse to listen to reason.

there is no point in getting a wr when all we have so many ? about the players for our Defence. If you want a wr just wait next year so we can draft one in the first round

While I'm all aboard the G/C in the 1st round...

I agree that WR is a weakness for this team.

For starters, do you trust Britt to stay healthy? I sure don’t. He hasn’t proven he can, yet. When he’s on the field, our WR group is pretty good, given, but without him, our passing attack drops off a lot.

Nate has become one of my favorite Titans, but he’s not best utilized as the #1 guy. He fits in as a slot WR, but he’s been playing on the outside out of necessity.

Damian sucked this year. So did Hawk. They both showed flashes at times, but if you buy into advanced statistics, they were two of the worst players in the league. Damian could be our solid #2 to Britt’s #1, but he has to make a lot of progress.

So, I think it really behooves this team to find a solid #2, so that we can bump Nate back into the slot, if Williams isn’t going to be that guy. And even if WIlliams breaks out, it’s always good to have an insurance policy for when Britt gets hurt.

Have you SEEN Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkins play?

I think it would be crazy for him to go undrafted.

He has tons of things against him (size, delivery, mechanics) but this isn’t like gambling a first on him. I will take a chance on someone with that sort of huge production.

he also has that stigma of being a system QB
