    That's going to be hard with Highsmith getting his money. Alvin got paid and has done NOTHING but his usual dance routine in Tennessee. Highsmith is the better player, ascending earlier then Alvin.

    Not disagreeing who is better. But I am thinking bud knows where he was successful. And if next year titans say kick rocks. Then he is only looking at teams going to give him maybe 5 million.

    It's honestly wishful thinking he would return. But I think it's possible.

    He would be a backup

    He will not be interested in that ego wise

    So... perhaps a ILB is on the board?! Hopefully not Round One as while I do like Trenton Simpson from Clemson.... this team has way too many other needs; doubly so regarding both Interior Lines. Best to fix that issue first.

    Agreed!

    The trenches come first as far as i'm concerned. Dan Moore is a nice player but they need a franchise left tackle. And the defensive line needs another franchise player as well. Heyward only has a few seasons left although he should get All Pro consideration for this season. Mentor the next DT.

    I could see them selecting an ILBer the second #2 pick. Hopefully they use the 3rd on an OLBer unless they think that Jamir Jones can take that next step. Malik Reed will be gone, no loss.

    Its possible they could trade down their high 2nd and grab another 3rd, 6th if they feel they can get the player they want.

    I'm looking forward to what Kahn and Weidl will do. They already had a major win in trading Claypool.
