The Titans entered the 2009 nfl draft season expecting to compete for a championship but instead they wound up making a run at the top pick in the draft. If the Titans do indeed end up with a Top 5 pick in NFL Draft they will face a difficult decision. Would they use this opportunity to select a top young quarterback to build around long-term or do they try to plug a hole and rebound as quickly as possible? The answer to that question could hinge on how Vince Young plays down the stretch but the former #3 overall pick has a big supporter in owner Bud Adams and that increases the likelihood of them looking in another direction with this choice. A horrendous pass defense has played a major role in the Titans sudden and dramatic decline so local hero Eric Berry of Tennessee would appear to be a logical fit. An Ed Reed-clone with 4.4 speed, Berry is a dynamic playmaker who just has a knack for making quarterbacks pay dearly for their mistakes. A terrific all-around player, Berry excels in coverage but he’s also extremely aggressive and isn’t afraid to mix it up and be physical. Just ask Tim Tebow! There are many who feel Berry is capable of playing either safety or cornerback at the next level in NFL Draft and he would undoubtedly help shore up the Titans leaky secondary. Tennessee could also opt for a stud defensive tackle, either Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh or Oklahoma’s Gerald McCoy , as a replacement for Albert Haynesworth.
