The Titans lost both their starting defensive ends this offseason, and last offseason they lost their best player in Albert Haynesworth. Considering how much their DL has changed since the beginning of the 2008 season you would think it was a lock that they would take a DL, however they have several other needs. Vince Young has solidified himself as the titans future QB but he still needs more weapons, also the titans CB slot opposite Cortland Finnegan could use upgrading, while these will make the Titans pause at this pick I still think that they will address the DE position that was decimated when kearse and vanden bosch olet in FA, still having a top 10 talent in Derrick Morgan on the board should make the decision easier, however i think they will look long and hard at Carlos Dunlap who is a lazy jevon kearse clone, but in the end Morgan will be the pick.

I say the best move for the Titans to take here is to go after the best DE in this draft. No whether that is Graham or Morgan is a tough decision, but I liked Graham here since his strength and run support are something the Titans find very valuable in a defensive end. A varied moveset give him the ability to move around a pass rusher and I think the Titans will find that more favourable than what Morgan offers, but only slightly. Really big toss up here, but it comes down to the DE the Titans want the most.

Jeff Fisher is happy if a top 10 prospect at a position of need falls to him. Now he doesn't have to deal with an overrated Kyle Vanden Bosch or an all talk no walk Jevon Kearse. Now there just hoping Justin Babin works out.

[BobLoblaw]

The Titans should be ecstatic if the top 4-3 DE makes it all the way to 16. Morgan should help that anemic pass rush, which is a huge need in a division with the Colts and Texans.

This readers draft is almost similar to how the real draft works. Certain players just look perfect for certain teams on paper, but when the chips are down, the votes slide towards the best player available. The pick is Morgan here. I feel the Titans want some help on the defensive line and this is the option. Morgan is better than Dunlap and Graham. The only other option could be Dan Williams, who will be a steal for some team at this point in the draft. A trade could happen for a team that has watched Dan Williams slide into affordable trade range now also.

Titans love their defensive lineman. I think defensive back is a huge need but so is DL. They go with the guy who could have been picked in the top 10, Derrick Morgan.

What you guys are ignoring is the fact that both Vanden Bosch and Jevon Kearse were/are both over the hill. They just signed Jason Babin away from the eagles and will be working with Washburn to improve his technique as he become part of the rotation with Ball. Hayes the other starter this past season is showing potential with 4 sacks over 11 starts. They need DE depth, but I don't believe they need first round depth especially when one of the top 3 DT's is on the board like Dan Williams.

Dan Williams is set up to be a beast in the NFL. He has the ideal size and can force holes in the D-Line so the LB's can get to the QB quickly with little resistance. I look it as this. Do you want a player DE that only tries to get to the QB and has to go 1-2 most of the time or would you prefer an individual like Williams that will make your whole defense better. Williams all the way.

Every team in AFC South has one huge need: Getting to Peyton Manning. The Titans have a huge need at DE since Vanden Bosch is gone, so seeing a top-10 player left at end still avalible I can't see the Titans letting Derrick Morgan fall past them. If he's there at 16 this should be the pick

[Stupac]

Yes, you have to get to Peyton Manning. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Titans have to grab a DE here... This defense hasn't been the same since Albert Haynesworth left, and adding Dan Williams could be the first step in the right direction. Having a disruptive force in the middle allows for easier matchups on the edge, thus, improving the pass rush, thus, getting to Peyton Manning.

[Colts Homer]

The Titans have got to take the best defensive lineman left. In this case it is definitely Derrick Morgan. This should be an easy pick if they don't mess it up.

[KLNgus]

To beat the Colts, stockpiling cornerbacks is IMO a better solution than Defensive Ends since Manning handle pressure too well. The titans pressure scheme is not super-productive but it is efficient enough. BTW a rookie DE will struggle to make an impact.

Now Kyle Wilson will look good with Cortland Finnegan, for now, nobody's there.

If Morgan is there, it is a no brainer, but JAX, SF, Sea, and the Giants may have a say in the matter. I think Morgan will be gone and Griffen is the pick
