As the season ends and the NFL Draft nears, we are going to see an enormous amount of mock drafts going out online. None of them are ever completely right, but it’s intriguing to see how experts (and ordinary people) feel about certain players and determine what each teams’ needs are.

Rotoworld senior editor Evan Silva and draft expert Josh Norris have combined to put out their first mock draft of the draft season. In this rendition, they have our beloved Tennessee Titans taking Dontari Poe, defensive tackle from Memphis. As they point out, while Poe’s stats won’t attract those who are number-centric, he is a huge clogger in the middle of the defensive line. At 6’5 and 350 pounds, Poe might help the Titans fill the spot that Albert Haynesworth left so lonely, three years ago.

Oh how wonderful it must feel. The intensity of media week leading into the biggest game of the year has such a unique aura about it. The Super Bowl is a dream game for every player and fan.

Here it is. Our third draft profile of the year. I’ve chose to look at the defensive end from Illinois, Whitney Merciless (Mercy-less). Merciless is considered a “one year wonder”, as he only recently burst on to the college scene after three years.

Many compare him to another recent “one year wonder” who was taken in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft: Jason Pierre-Paul. We’ve all noticed how that has turned out for the New York Giants after they took him just one pick before the Titans.

The Titans were second to last in the league in terms of sacks and will be looking to add someone who’ll turn that number around, whether they do it via the draft or free agency. The draft has a lot of defensive end prospects. For this specific post, I’d like to focus on Merciless, as his name has been thrown around a lot in mock drafts and other sites as a possible selection by the Titans with their first pick in the 2012 draft.

Last year the 6-4, 265 pound Merciless wasn’t even on the radar. This year, he may very well be a first round pick.
