I thought this would be fun to share given all the player scouting going on :) Interesting how we are viewed as a drafting franchise and what our perceived needs are and their priority.
This is from Scouts Inc.
Here is a look at the factors that will come into play in the Tennessee draft room:
Tennessee Draft Needs
Day 1 picks (overall) Nos. 30, 62
Need 1 WR
Need 2 DT
Need 3 MLB
Need 4 QB
Need 5 C/G
Need 6 DE
Decision Makers
This is one of the most stable front offices in the NFL, but they go about their job quietly and with consistent success. The power structure is primarily a duo of head coach/ executive vice president Jeff Fisher and general manager Mike Reinfeldt. They appear to be on the same page and they know exactly what they want in a player. Both are bold guys with thick skins and they are not afraid to make tough decisions, partly because both have job security. When a decision is made, they never look back. Reinfeldt is an astute capologist with excellent contract and free agency skills. This team has a strong scouting staff with a lot of experience that does a great job of evaluating players. Also, owner Bud Adams, likes to get involved in personnel, so Fisher and Reinfeldt include him on those decisions.
Offensive Philosophy
Coordinator Mike Heimerdinger has a fairly-conservative offensive philosophy and his offense is at its best when the Titans can wear down defenses with the run and set up the pass. But, when they do get a big play it often comes off play-action. This is not a passing game loaded with skill players, so they will spread the ball around to all of the targets, which includes dump-offs, check downs and safe passes. They want disciplined, intelligent players with good movement skills up front.
Defensive Philosophy
This is an elite defense and it all starts with the guys up front. The Titans play a 4-3 scheme and most of their pass pressure comes from a one-gap-penetrating defensive line that is always on the move. Although coordinator Jim Schwartz is now running the show in Detroit, new coordinator Chuck Cecil knows this defense, so the philosophy will remain the same. Tennessee wants athleticism and range from its linebackers without a lot of blitzing. The Titans' defensive backs are physical and play a lot of zones behind the pass rush. This is a very assignment-oriented, disciplined, intelligent and aggressive defensive unit.
