Round 1

As stated before, the Tennessee Titans had the 10th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. The players who went off the board ahead of them weren’t all that impressive. One of the names being Ezekiel Ansah who has managed to rack up 50.5 sacks throughout his career. Other names to go off the board early were two tackles, Erik Fisher and Lane Johnson, which the Titans didn’t need anyway. They have both been very good tackles throughout their careers, but the best picks came later in the draft.

Original pick – Chance Warmack G Alabama

The Titans decided to fill the gap on the inside of the o-line early, taking Chance Warmack out of Alabama. I for one am against guards being taken in the top 10 unless they are generational talents, so this pick is a bit repulsive to me.

Warmack wasn’t an awful offensive lineman for the Titans. He was a starter for 3 straight seasons. He wasn’t a great lineman either, and great is what he would have to be to justify being the 10th overall pick.

Who they should have picked – DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson

DeAndre Hopkins was 27th by the Houston Texans, and who would’ve known that he would terrorize the AFC South for the next seven years.

The Titans selecting Hopkins here would have given them their number one receiver and kept him away from the Texans. It’s a win-win situation. Not to mention that the Titans wouldn’t have traded Hopkins away for next to nothing.

Taking Hopkins 10th overall would have impacted the Titans in so many ways. Especially when you see who they could’ve taken in the second round.
