______________________________

Titans Draft Needs
Urgent: The Titans urgently need to draft the franchise center of the future to takeover for the aging Kevin Mawae once he decides to end his solid career. The Titans also must draft a franchise corner to pair with Cortland Finnegan once Nick Harper decides to watch football instead of playing it.

Strong: When superstar defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is not in the game, the Titans defense is much weaker. Tennessee should draft another great defensive tackle to pair with Haynesworth.

Moderate: Two versatile offensive linemen need to be drafted to back up the starters.

Nice to Have: Best available players.

Wild Card: Is Vince Young the future at quarterback once Kerry Collins decides to call it a career? Could Chris Simms be the future quarterback if Vince Young continue to have challenges?
