6. Tennessee Titans
In a situation very similar to that of Tampa Bay, Tennessee is very likely to be picking somewhere in the top three spots come draft day. Ken Whisenhunt is a fan of traditional drop-back pocket passers, much like he had with Kurt Warner in Arizona and (tried to develop in) Matt Leinart. Jake Locker is likely gone, while we’re unsure of what the team makes of rookie Zach Mettenberger.
But if that’s the mold Whisenhunt drafts his quarterbacks in, it doesn’t appear as if Mariota is the right fit. Griffin isn’t exactly that style of quarterback either, but has the capabilities of being effective in that kind of system.
Like the Bucs, the Titans can use the pick on a position other than quarterback, or they can take advantage of that spot to entice another quarterback-needy team to make a deal and turn a high draft pick into numerous selections. With that, they can also take a flier on Griffin, who would be another component of the rebuilding offense down there in Nashville.
