The Titans have secure offensive playmakers to make Mariota’s life easier. It’s time to focus on defense.
Mike Vrabel is a defensive guy. He understands to be successful in the NFL you need to have plenty of pass rushers.
The Titans will select Landry to help add youth to their pass rush. Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo aren’t getting any younger and are great veterans that can help Landry along with his development. (Justin)
Previous Pick: Unchanged
Dontari Poe signed with the rival Carolina Panthers once free agency opened up and Poe will leave a large void in the middle of the Falcon’s defense. In steps Bryan who can fill that void. Bryan is big, strong and able to get a good push from the inside of the line.
Once he gets through the line he is able to chase down players with surprising speed and burst. Putting Bryan with a young core players such as Dion Jones, Vic Beasley, and Desmond Trufant could help Atlanta have a stable defense at all levels. (Steve)
Previous Pick: Da’Ron Payne
The Saints are a team that doesn’t have many needs. Drew Brees continues to play at a high level and the defense is much improved.
They will choose the best player on the board or look to trade back. In this situation, New Orleans decides to beef up their defensive line by selecting Da’Ron Payne.
Payne was a force for Nick Saban last year at Alabama. He has a great blend of run stopping ability along with pass rushing skills.
The Saints get a great player late in the first round. (Justin)
