ttitansfan4life Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Bored on my day off and decided to do my first mock. A couple things to note before.... 1.) Used Draft Networks mock draft simulation for this. Awesome analysis and definitely a fun exercise. 2.) I’m doing this mock with the idea that we eventually sign Clowney and potentially bring back Logan Ryan or another CB in free agency that is above bottom of the roster material. 3.) Clowney obviously isn’t an every down DL but we’ll rarely be in base defense and even if he does play there, I think he’d hold up very well. He’ll play all over the front anyway so don’t take the depth too seriously. 1st(29) - Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado Before anyone ******* and moans, the CBs available at this spot just weren’t that appealing. Shenault before the injuries(torn labrum and played with a turf toe this past year) was projected as a top 15 pick. Kids a stud with elite athleticism and very good size. Route running is the biggest part where he needs improvement in his game. Davis likely isn’t getting his 5th year option picked up so this will likely be his last season. We need to start preparing for that. The signing of Clowney allows this team to go BPA with no glaring holes outside of CB. Shenault isn’t forced to start year 1 but will definitely get a chance to play a lot because with his talent, he’ll definitely be forcing his way on the field. 2nd(61) - Cam Akers, RB, Florida State - An underrated player who played under the some of the worst circumstances in college football and still performed a high level. We need a RB2 and someone who can excel on 3rd downs. Maybe someone who can play that role for a year or 2 and then takeover for Henry. 3rd(93) - Jacob Eason, QB, Washington - Can’t believe he fell this far but I’m so glad he did. He’s exactly the type of guy to sit for a couple of seasons and the take over. Wasn’t planning on taking a QB this high but with Eason somehow falling, it was a no brainer. 5th(174) - Nevelle Clarke, CB, UCF - Projects as outside CB but needs to add more size. A little light at 180 but good height and length at 6’1. The CB board really didn’t play out like I would’ve liked which is why I took 3 offensive guys with the first 3 picks. I’m hoping we can somehow work out something with Ryan but that seems not likely especially if they sign Clowney. 7th(224) - Jacob Breeland, TE, Oregon - Solid athlete who actually has experience in blocking in line which is rare for lot of TEs coming out of college. Could eventually take Pruitt’s role. 7th(237) - Jon Runyan, OT, Michigan - Developmental OT 7th(243) - Rodrigo Blankenship, K, Georgia - Kicker competition Will need to add IDL and IOL help in FA and UDFA and I know it’s obviously offense heavy with only one defensive pick but when you add Clowney, Beasley, and potentially Ryan, I thought it would be a good time to reload that offensive depth some very good prospects. 2020 Titans Depth Chart QB: Ryan Tannehill, Jacob Eason, Logan Woodside RB: Derrick Henry, Cam Akers, Dalyn Dawkins FB: Khari Blasingame WR: AJ Brown, Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, Laviska Shenault, Khalif Raymond TE: Jonnu Smith, Anthony Firkser, MyCole Pruitt, Jacob Breeland LT: Taylor Lewan LG: Roger Saffold C: Ben Jones, FA/UDFA RG: Nate Davis RT: Dennis Kelly, Ty Sambrailo DT: Jeffrey Simmons, Isaiah Mack NT: DaQuan Jones, Matt Dickerson 5T: Jadeveon Clowney, Jack Crawford OLB: Harold Landry, Reggie Gilbert, D’Andre Walker ILB: Jayon Brown, David Long ILB: Rashaan Evans, Nick Dzubnar OLB: Vic Beasley, Kamalei Correa, Derrick Roberson CB: Adoree Jackson, Logan Ryan, Chris Milton CB: Malcolm Butler, Nevelle Clarke, Kareem Orr FS: Kevin Byard, Amani Hooker SS: Kenny Vaccaro, Dane Cruikshank K: Rodrigo Blankenship P: Brett Kern RS: Khalif Raymond Edited April 8, 2020 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanRedd Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I’m not feeling it, a RB in da 2nd round to early for me, & too early to invest in a WR in da 1st. I get what you’re saying about this could be Davis last yr, but we can draft his replacement next yr or simply trade for a #2 next offseason. Like hear me out on this, we’re already loaded at the skills position WR & TE. We’re a run 1st offense, which means we’re not a high volume passing team therefore it’s not a lot of balls to go around. We had a stud rookie WR that had a 1000 yards avg 20 yards a catch & only saw 5 targets a game. We have a freak at TE that runs 4.5 4.6 & he doesn’t get a lot of targets, we spent 36 mill on a slot WR & didn’t come close to using him how TB used him. We all know how wasted 10 + mill on Lewis didn’t come close to using him how NE used him, checkdowns & screens basically. That being said Art needs to figure out the passing game & utilizing what we have before we invest high draft capital.. my opinion not saying I’m right. 1st & 2nd round need to be defense Corner & pass rushers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanRedd Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Oh & I do feel Clowney is an every down player he doesn’t get a lot of sacks but he generates ton of pressures & tales on double teams. He has injury issues I’m worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones stays at NT. The other spot will be a combination of players between Mack, Clowney, Dickerson, etc. No point in spending a premium pick on an interior guy when the defense will be in sub package over 50% of the time and Clowney will play one of those with Simmons playing the other. Unless you’re looking to replace Jones who I mean is probably coming off his best year and the staff loves him, I don’t see the point in taking an interior DL that high. The Clowney signing I thought I thought would be the dead giveaway with that.... Edited April 8, 2020 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark he’s hasn’t arrived yet, & you can’t count on Clowney giving his injury history & I still think we need depth on the DL my guy but you are right half the time we are in sub packages but we have no depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hope- Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 i wouldn't necessarily be upset with this (at all, really) but it does feel awfully offense-heavy. i'd probably take a DB much earlier, but of course it depends on how the board shakes out.

Believe me when I say this, it sucked. No good CBs were really available at 29. Even the 2nd round was rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin615$ Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I like it. I've been doing their mock simulator and a good CB never is there at 29 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Honestly, if we resign Ryan and bring in Clowney, I'd be fine with just about any route we take in the draft. There truly wouldn't be any "dire" needs we'd potentially have to reach for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin615$ Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) We may be waiting till after April 28th so Clowney's deal would not mess up us getting a 3rd round comp pick next year for Conklin lol Edited April 8, 2020 by Justin615$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
