NFL Combine Results 2015: Dante Fowler, Jr. and Vic Beasley steal the show

I want the Titans to take Dante Fowler Jr. He has the potential to be a stud off the edge, and having a stud off the edge can make your defense better in a hurry.  Check out this series of tweets from earlier today:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Florida?src=hash">#Florida</a> EDGE Dante Fowler Jr 2nd forty: 4.65, 10 yd of 1.63</p>&mdash; Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoshNorris/status/569511089559502848">February 22, 2015</a></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>What impresses me most about Dante Fowlers 4.61 40-yd is that I never really thought of him as a speed guy. He wins w/power.

The Titans are going to have to pull the trigger on him at #2 if they are going to get him.  I really think they should do it unless they get a trade package that blows them away.

You can read more about Fowler here in Lambert's scouting report.

If they do trade down but stay in the top 10, they should absolutely take Vic Beasley, EDGE, Clemson.  Here are some tweets from his day at the combine:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Vic Beasley was #1 in reps among DL with 35, then ran a 4.53(u) w/ 1.59 split. This after adding 11 pounds.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>OLB Vic Beasley (Clemson) answering questions on his speed at 246 pounds with a low 4.5 time in the 40.</p>&mdash; Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattBowen41/status/569511503969304576">February 22, 2015</a></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>If there can be a Combine &quot;winner&quot;, it&#39;s Vic Beasley.

You can read more about Vic Beasley here in Lambert's scouting report.

Either of these guys would come in and immediately be a huge boost for the Titans defense.
