2009 NFL Draft: Who Should the Titans Take?


The 2009 NFL Draft is right around the corner and all 32 teams are scrambling to figure out the next piece to the puzzle of building a Super Bowl franchise.

The Titans have the 30th overall pick in the draft and many are speculating on who they should take with that pick. This draft is extremely heavy on wide receivers and the Titans may go that route.

The need for a dominant wide receiver has been a need ever since the Titans came to Nashville in 1999. The Titans have a great opportunity to get that future #1 wide receiver in this draft.

One pick that is in many people's mock draft is North Carolina wide receiver Hakeem Nicks. Nicks is extremely versatile and stands at 6'1''. Having a tall receiver like Nicks would be extremely beneficial for Kerry Collins, and even more so for Vince Young.

Other positions that are in need is cornerback and defensive line. Nick Harper seemed to slow down a step or two last season, and a future replacement might be needed.

Former Vanderbilt star D.J. Moore would be a great option for the Titans and may still be on the board when the Titans' second round pick rolls around.

That would be a huge steal for the Titans if they could snatch him up in the second round. Moore is extremely dynamic and would give you the option of inserting him into some offensive packages along with Chris Johnson.

Here are some possible first round picks for the Titans:

1st Round Possibilities
  1. Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
  2. Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest
  3. Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
  4. D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt
