The Tennessee Titans should cheer for Major League Baseball to win this fight.
I have gone back and forth on it, but ultimately I think Tennessee Titans fans should hope that Kyler Murray chooses the MLB.
First of all let me say that I think Murray will choose the NFL by the end of the day and enter the 2019 NFL Draft. However, a late push with some urgency by the MLB is making the situation a little bit more complex.
I would also like to say that I have no idea if Murray would be a good QB in the NFL. Honestly, his size scares me to death and I think he had a lot of easy throws against bad competition at the collegiate level.
However, he is one of the most efficient college QBs in NCAA history, if not the most efficient. It is hard to think that he will be an outright bust, and if he were to land somewhere like New Orleans or New England I think he could be very successful.

It all comes down to this. Does another good QB being in the NFL help the Tennessee Titans win a championship? The answer is obviously no.
While it would push down another good player towards the Titans at 19, there are enough QB thirsty teams in the NFL that are going to overdraft a QB anyway. If Murray isn’t available then a guy like Daniel Jones of Drew Lock will just fill the void he left.
However, another QB potentially worth a top-10 pick just makes things more precarious for the Titans. Mainly because that QB will probably land in Jacksonville at 7th overall with Dwayne Haskins going 6th to the New York Giants, or vice versa.

The AFC South is a better place for the Titans if the Jaguars reach for a bad quarterback, start him too early and then have the entire locker room collapse like it did this year. Maximum chaos works just fine for me.
This likely means new coaches and a shuffling of the roster for a team that once looked like they could be a real threat in the post season.
So, when the news breaks today whether or not Kyler Murray is going to be an NFL QB or an outfielder in the MLB, know that short term it may help the Titans in the draft but long term fans should hope he decides to play in the majors.
