As of now, we have
Lowe, Wallace
Moses, Jacobs

It seems that we would expect to carry 4 OT's on the 53. How may of the above should make the 53? We need more capable bodies to compete and in case of a camp injury.
==========
QUESTIONS
1) Should a rookie to start?
2) Should two draftees to be among the four? perhaps with one starting on PUP if necessary?
3) Should Wallace be on the team as the #4 OT and perhaps backup RT, hopefully developing into a future RT or even RG?
4) Should Lowe be replaced by a 3rd round draft pick who would be expected to start if there was an injury?
5) Do we need to carry 5 OT's instead of the past 3 or 4?

I don’t see how we can really answer these until the Draft is over. If their first pick is top 19 and they take a tackle they should be ready to start. If it benefitted first round or day two I wouldn’t expect them to start immediately. But if they draft two in the first two days then both should be among their top 4 tackles.

Which LT's are available that can start or be a Game Day backup on Day One? How many were there last year? How likely is it that we get two?
==========

You're right of course. We can't know until after the draft, perhaps not even then.

Unless we can get 2 LT's who can start or backup for Game One, it seems likely that Lowe will be one of the four.
============
I suspect much depends on whether the team thinks that Lowe can be counted on to be a backup LT or even the swing OT.
 
What’s a Takle?

I like it. You had to, I agree. People get cranky about it. If you don’t like it, then learn the difference between you’re and your ; there and their…. and burn in Hell, could OF
I TRY to make certain I use the correct spelling...I find myself being pretty anal about that ...
I MAY make a mistake, but it'll be pretty rare.
Sorry about that.
 
I’d list Sidy Sow as a potential tackle also.
 
He isn't even a BACKUP.
Get spelling correct
 
Let's HOPE VRabel and his team pick studs that can play day 1.

Vrabel's Titans drafting team, led by their GM, was not successful. Wolf last year was a failure. There is no successful drafting history that I can find.

I'm HOPING ONE. New drafting crew. Hoping for the best.

To be fair, drafting is based mostly on the scouting done during the college year so Wolfs draft was done with Belichick's scouting system, not his own.

This draft will be the first one based on Wolfs scouting system.

That's not a ringing endorsement for Wolf just a presentation of the facts

I am hoping for the best too. I think Groh is less in the picture which is good. But Vrabel, McDaniels, and Wolf's record in other drafting teams is not impressive. Maybe some of the other inputs, Marrone, Streicher or Cowden, will lead to success.

So, therefore you believe that Vrabel likely will not choose players that will improve our team?

I trust that Vrabel will have sufficient good advice to be able to make good (perhaps not great) choices in the first four rounds.

No matter who is chosen, our posters will believe that they would have done better, as is the case every year.
