First, the sexy mock draft results from Pat Kirwan at nfl.com:
30. Titans: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
Davis is big and talented. He may not be mature enough yet for some coaches, but Jeff Fisher will have no problem getting this guy ready to play.
62. Titans: Ramses Barden, WR, Cal Poly (no break-down given)
If the Titans got these two guys in round 1 the amount of fans bouncing up and down across Tennessee would probably trigger an earthquake on the New Madrid Fault Line and lurch Reelfoot lake back into oblivion. There's an extremely good chance that Davis ends-up as the best CB in this draft even if he needs a little more polish (he's a junior coming out early, mind you), and Ramses Barden would immediately become the most athletic WR the Titans have ever had on the roster. He's raw and played against poor competition in college, but you just don't get a 6'6", 228 lbs kid who runs a 4.51-40 and looks this smooth in his routes very often.
AW's Verdict: two thumbs up!
Now, the not so sexy Three Round Mock Draft from Wes Bunting of the National Football Post:
30.Tennessee Titans: Jarron Gilbert, DT/DE, San Jose State
The Titans need to find a replacement for DT Albert Haynesworth, and Gilbert has the frame and explosion to develop into a good interior lineman. He possesses an impressive first step, long arms and makes a living in opponents’ backfields.
62. Tennessee: Sherrod Martin CB/FS, Troy
One of the nation’s most fluid defensive backs, Martin has the ability to play corner and free safety.
94. Tennessee: Darry Beckwith, LB, LSU
An aggressive downhill linebacker who players bigger than his frame indicates.
I like the Sherrod Martin pick in the 2nd round, especially if Chuck Cecil plans on sticking with the cover-2 scheme. If that's the case then Martin could be a huge addition at the nickel, and eventually replace Nick Harper, because of his short range skills and excellent tackling. As for Jarron Gilbert, I'd be intrigued to see what Washburn could do with his athleticism, but I'm always leery of these guys who rise up draft boards after a gimmicky trick... even if it is quite impressive. Beckwith would give us tremendous depth at LB along with Kegglar from last year. Beckwith was a force for LSU last year, and at this point you can't really go wrong with 90% of LSU defensive prospects... it's like getting a speed guy from Va. Tech.
AW's Verdict: not bad, put pretty meh on the first pick
