Ah, finally our beloved Titans are on the board. I think that new coach Ken Whisenhunt is a fan of Jake Locker. I don’t believe that he would’ve chosen this job if he didn’t believe in Locker. So with quarterback out of the question, and not that many other holes on offense (except for offensive tackle if David Stewart leaves), expect the Titans to go defense. New defensive coordinator Ray Horton isn’t scheme-specific, meaning he can run a 4-3 or 3-4 defense. That being said, if they were able to draft a potentially dominant edge defender like Mack, it would make a switch to the 3-4 both comfortable and beneficial.
