Let's talk draft

The NFL draft is just ten days away. One question in particular looms in the minds of all Titans fans: Will the Titans draft a receiver in the first round?

Here is your answer: Probably not.

The Tennessee Titans franchise has not selected a WR in the first round since taking Kevin Dyson out of Utah in 1998.

The only way I see the Titans taking a WR is if Percy Harvin is still on the draft board when we pick.

Otherwise, I see the Titans bolstering their secondary with a DB with their first round pick.

Atlanta Braves

There hasn't been any more talk about Torry Holt since his reaction to the visit last week, but the Titans did sign QB Patrick Ramsey last week. Ramsey will be the 3rd string quarterback.

Although this is a Titans Blog, I would like to point out that the Atlanta Braves, even though the season is 2 games young, are playing baseball as well as they could have hoped. After the afore mentioned 2 games, the Braves revamped pitching staff has proved to be just that by holding the National League's #1 offense from last year to only 1 run in 18 innings. The one run coming from, what seemed to be, opening-day jitters by the Braves closer Mike Gonzalez. The expected lack-of-power lineup has shown plenty of reason for the sports analyst who have labeled them so, to stick their feet in their mouths.

This afternoon, the Braves put Javier Vazquez on the mound against the Phillies and their starter Joe Blanton as they go for the three game sweep. Check it out on Sports South at 3:05 et.

Torry Holt

Last Thursday, veteran wide receiver Torry Holt came to Nashville for a walkthrough and physical tryout for the Titans.

According to Holt's agent, Kennard McGuire, the future hall-of-fame wideout was "very impressed" with every aspect of the Titans organization.

Jeff Fisher commented briefly on the subject by stating, "It's a process, and this is the first step," Fisher said. "we'd been in touch with him several weeks ago and set up the visit. He's visited Jacksonville and visited us. I think it went well, and I'm really excited about what we have to offer. So we'll see where it goes."

Kerry Collins signed a 2 yr deal worth 15m dollars under the condition that he is the starting quarterback.

Titans franchise tagged Bo Scaife, meaning that he will get paid the average pay of the top ten TE's last year. A franchise tag is a one year contract for that amount.

Albert signed a 7 yr contract for 100m. Washington can have him for that price. If they want to pay a guy that is gonna be injured 5 or 6 games a year that kind of money, that's their problem. ha ha

Titans Off-Season complete

Titans were able to retain Kerry Collins, Bo Scaife, and Rob Bironas. But we lost Brandon Jones to San Fransisco, and more importantly Albert Haynesworth to Washington.
