What about the Titans?

I should say that Tennessee Titans fans shouldn’t take this personally because I think most of this was done without much forethought or analysis involved.

They were obviously underrepresented on this list, but when the writers suggest that this was a more “lighthearted” exercise, it makes sense that they build teams that they want to see not necessarily built with the best players.

In a lighthearted break from the action, we re-set the @NFL using a four-round snake draft. I handled @Chargers, and liked my outcome more than @MikeClayNFL, our independent auditor. https://t.co/GBThRX7ID3

Tennessee only had four players drafted:

–Ryan Tannehill

-Derrick Henry

–Kevin Byard

–A.J. Brown

Which leaves off players like Taylor Lewan, Rodger Saffold, Rashaan Evans, Jeffery Simmons, Harold Landry, and others.

I almost forgive the Lewan snub because most teams that selected offensive linemen, selected the offensive linemen they cover. For example, Quenton Nelson went to Indianapolis, Lane Johnson went to Philadelphia, etc.

So what about the new team that the Tennessee Titans drafted?
