Found this on a Titans board. Enjoy!Main Need - QB: Steve McNair is around 67 in NFL years. And with the recent contract bonus situation, he may not even be around next season. We need a franchise quarterback, FAST! And if he does come back, wonderful! He can just get put into the situation he was in when he came into the league with Chris Chandler, but reversed. Old, verteran quarterback slowly but surely handing over the reigns to someone else. Hello Vince Young. Strong Need #1 - OL: Brad Hopkins, his time is running down. If he leaves, we only have eight linemen on the roster. That leaves three backups. We need some damn good depth, especially in case someone goes down, which will probably happen. Look for a few linemen to be taken from the second to seventh rounds. Strong Need #2 - Safety: Both our starters are now free agents, and Vincent Fuller, Donnie Nickey, and Marcus Randall are so not the answer. Probably only one of the starters can return. Lamont Thompson or Tank Williams, Tank Williams or Lamont Thompson. The obvious choice here would be Tank, since, well, Thompson makes some of the dumbest decisions possible. But, chances are, Thompson gets resigned and Tank gets the kabosh. Look for an early second round pick here, and I'll be praying to God that somehow Michael Huff (no chance, I know) or Darnell Bing falls this far. Other Need - LB: Some other people suggest we pick up A.J. Hawk, but ya know, I'm not ready to give away Peter Sirmon's spot just yet. Fisher says himself that it takes more than one year to fully recover from an ACL injury, so I say give Peter one more season to see if he can solidify the starting outside job. If not, we have Rocky Boiman to fill in for a year. I don't see this as such a strong need as everyone else, but hey, more depth is always nice, right? Second day pick. Other Need - WR: Hello Titan wideout, have you taken your injury pill today? Every wideout on this team either missed atleast one game, or played injured, with two ending up on IR. Bobby Wade was claimed off waivers, and O.J. Small was called up from the practice squad (along with two others who were dropped soon after) and neither seem like they'll be on the main roster next season. A sixth man in the depth chart would look mighty good. I love me some Notre Dame, so I love me some Maurice Stovall. Second day pick here. Minimal Need - DT: Our defensive line is big in the middle, and fast on the ends, but another corn fed middle pluggin' hoss would be nice to add to the rotation with Haynesworth, Starks, Long and Clauss. Second day pick. Not Needed: Running Back: Chris Brown and Travis Henry picked up quite a lot of steam at the end of the year, and Jarrett Payton shows quite a lot of promise. Damien Nash didn't show up at all this year, so there's a chance that a second day pick will be used at the running back spot to provide a little more depth. Fullback: Troy Fleming is quietly turning into a great fullback. Good pass catching hands, and improving blocking ability. No needs here. Tight End: Our crew had, I believe, the third most total receptions in a season in NFL history. No needs whatsoever here. Cornerback: Although inexperienced, Reynaldo Hill and Adam Jones showed quite a lot of promise, and Andrew Woolfolk and Tony Beckham provide some minimal veteran experience as Michael Waddell and Rich Gardner provide some third year depth. Kicker/Punter: Rob Bironas turned out to be quite consistent, and Craid Hentrich is awesome as always. No needs. Now, of course, I use the term "main need" a little loosely, because if Leinart and Young aren't there at our first spot, it's not really a must need anymore. But yeah, feedback, debate, disagree, agree, whatever, just reply! _________________Steve McNair > Vince Young
