Did ESPN draft enough Titans in their re-draft?

This isn’t the first time there has been a big discussion of how many above-average players the Tennessee Titans had on their roster.

However, ESPN recently did a re-draft of the entire NFL going through four rounds for all 32 teams. In this draft everyone was eligible and the rules were sort of vague on what the team-building process should be.

Specifically, this is the line that I think makes everything so hard to judge:

"Each GM was asked to draft with intentions of winning a Super Bowl within five years. Some took a harder line, while others built a base that might still need a year or two."

Ok…well just for argument’s sake here are the non-special teams players that started on the Kansas City Chiefs five years ago who were starting on the Super Bowl team this season:

-Laurent Tardif-Duvernay, RG

–Travis Kelce, TE

That’s it. That is the entire list.

So, when you say you have to win a Super Bowl in five years, you really aren’t encouraging a team to build to win now or to draft young players who might take big jumps in the future.
