The work never ends for Todd McShay.  He has already released his 2010 Big 12 NFL mock draft.  Here is what it looks like:

1. St. Louis Rams -- Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

2. Cleveland Browns -- Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

3. Detroit Lions -- Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

4. Oakland Raiders -- Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

5. Kansas City Chiefs -- Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

6. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) -- Colt McCoy, QB, Texas

7. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

8. San Francisco 49ers -- Taylor Mays, S, USC

9. Green Bay Packers -- Adam Ulatoski, OT, Texas

10. San Francisco 49ers (from CAR) -- Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas

11. Washington Redskins -- Ciron Black, OT, LSU

12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Geno Atkins, DT, Georgia

13. Denver Broncos (from CHI) -- Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU

14. Buffalo Bills -- Sam Young, OT, Notre Dame

15. Cincinnati Bengals -- C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

16. Miami Dolphins -- George Selvie, DE, South Florida

17. Tennessee Titans -- Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida

Spikes lacks elite speed and needs to play with more consistent leverage. On the flip side, he's a hard-hitting emotional leader with very good instincts.

18. Seattle Seahawks -- Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU

19. Houston Texans -- Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky

20. New Orleans Saints -- Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn State

21. New York Jets -- DeMarcus Granger, DT, Oklahoma

22. Baltimore Ravens -- Marshwan Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati

23. Dallas Cowboys -- Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama

24. New York Giants -- Brandon Lang, DE, Troy

25. Minnesota Vikings -- Nate Allen, S, South Florida

26. Indianapolis Colts -- Eric Norwood, DE, South Carolina

27. Arizona Cardinals -- Sergio Render, G, Virginia Tech

28. San Diego Chargers -- LeGarrette Blount, RB, Oregon

29. Atlanta Falcons -- Mark Herzlich, OLB, Boston College

30. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama

31. Philadelphia Eagles -- Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi

32. New England Patriots -- Micah Johnson, ILB, Kentucky

So once again, McShay has the Titans missing the playoffs.  Last year he had them picking 11th in his mock for the next season, so I guess he is buying into this team a little more.  Anyone want to put odds on 9 of the first 10 picks being from the Big 12?

As Paul Kuharsky mentioned this morning, signing undrafted free agents will be a challenge for the Titans because they are already so deep.  About the best thing an undrafted guy can hope for if he comes here is a shot at the practice squad.  There aren't to many guys that are willing to settle for that.

Here are the guys the Titans have signed so far:

WR, Dudley Guice (NW State)

DE, Mitch King (Iowa)

OL, Ryan Schmidt (South Florida)

QB, Alex Mortensen, Arkansas/Samford (Yes, he is Mort's son)

RB, Rodney Ferguson (New Mexico)

CB, Jeremy Haynes (McNeese State)

WR, Phillip Morris (South Carolina State)

P, A.J. Trapasso (Ohio State)

I will update the list when/if more guys are signed gramsey finds them!

Let me start off by saying that grading a draft today is a little bit ridiculous.  We have no idea how any of these guys will pan out, but there are still some ways we can grade this draft that aren't as ridiculous.

Right now we will look at what they did to address their need positions.  I have to give them a B+ on that one.  The only thing that keeps them from getting an A here is the fact that they didn't take a corner until the 4th round, and when they finally took a corner it was a very questionable one.  Overall though I love the fact that they took a receiver in the first round.  We have seen a parade of middle round receivers in here over the past decade that never amounted to anything.  They took a flier on a guy that they were really impressed with, and I applaud them for that.  All of the reports I am hearing is that they were really high on Kenny Britt and Clay Matthews.  Had the Packers not traded up to get Matthews, there is a very good chance that he would have been the pick pick.  I know they need depth at linebacker, but I am really glad that we ended up with Britt instead.

The Sen'Derrick Marks pick was an interesting one.  Defensive tackle depth was a need, but I felt they had bigger needs that could have been addressed with the pick.  Marks is an athletic guy with a lot of upside so there is a good shot he will end up a very good player under the guidance of Jim Washburn.

The first really questionable move they pulled was trading next year's #2 to the Patriots to move up and take Jared Cook.  The move was questionable to me on two fronts:

1. If I were an NFL GM, I would never make a deal with the New England Patriots.  In the words of August, "They always win."
2. We didn't have a need at tight end.  We already have future Hall of Famer Bo Scaife there.

However, if Cook can become the player that we all hoped Ben Troupe would be, it will prove to have been a great move.  Vandy fans will remember Cook because he torched them in that Thursday night ESPN game last season.  He presents all kind of match-up problems and should open some things up for the running game.

Now come the rounds where things get really interesting.  Be sure and stick around all day for instant analysis of the Titans' selections.  I am still holding out hope for an early move up to get D.J. Moore.

Here is what they are saying around the internet about Kenny Britt:

 Tthe press conference with Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher talking about Kenny Britt.

 The conference call with Kenny Britt and the Nashville media.

 The AP story about the pick.

 Terry McCormick weighs in.

 As does Jim Wyatt.

There will be a similar post up for Sen'Derrick Marks tomorrow.

Be here again tomorrow for all of the draft day conversation.

Thanks to smashville for the picture.

Well I was really hoping they would take DJ Moore with this pick, especially when you consider that cornerback depth is their biggest depth need after free agency, but alas they did not.  Instead they took Sen'Derrick Marks, DT, Auburn.  I will have to do some more research on Marks because he was not a guy that I thought they would be selecting today.
