The game this week was demoralizing but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like to dwell on the negatives. Life is too short to spend it ruminating about negative things you can’t even control, IMO. There absolutely is plenty to complain about and criticize, but I’m still optimistic about the long term prospects of the organization. So this week I’m looking forward to the 2024 draft.

I think the first round pick has to be OL because it’s the worst position group on the team, by far, and there won’t be any good OTs available in free agency. No team in its right mind trades a franchise OT unless the trade is so lopsided you can’t turn it down (Laremy Tunsil is the most recent I remember, and is a big reason the Dolphins are so good now).

Looking at mock drafts the consensus seems to be there are 3 OT worthy of being a top 10 pick, Fashanu, Alt, and Latham. Consensus seems to be that Fashanu is the best of the three, but I don’t know enough about any of them to have an opinion. Does anyone knowledgeable have thoughts on this? Should I be hoping the Titans lose enough games to draft Fashanu?

I’ll still be watching every Titans game hoping they win and viewing the better draft position as a consolation prize from losses. There will be lots of losses regardless of how I feel and hopefully those losses are more competitive than the abomination yesterday in Tampa.

    It would be nice if we weren’t forced to draft LT in the first round. We basically did that this year with the 11th(!) pick and then forced him at LG because he “should be an All-Pro guard”. We didn’t need an All-pro guard at 11 without having LT figured out. Now we use back to back 1st round picks at LG and LT. Hopefully it will work out and we have a great left side for years…

      Nearly every scout predicted Peter moving to LG. It’s fine taking a LT now you need your best OL from the draft because you aren’t getting them in FA

    Y’all are missing Fuaga from oregon state. That man is an absolute beast last year and this year. He is the second best guy after olu from penn state.
