2010 NFL Mock Draft, Fans' Picks Edition: No. 16

The voice of the fan matters here at FanHouse, so you are going to collectively stage your own 2010 NFL Mock Draft. Let us know whom the Titans should take with the No. 16 pick --You're on the clock.

Just two years ago, the Titans had a defensive line so good all it was missing was a good nickname (Fat Albert and Schwartz' swarm?). But since then, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth left for massive money in free agency and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch followed him, while Jevon Kearse's production fell off rapidly.

All of a sudden, the Titans' defensive line wasn't one of the NFL's best -- and that drop-off was felt elsewhere defensively. Since the Titans couldn't generate a pass rush from their front four (Jacob Ford led the team with 5 1/2 sacks), defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil had to dial up a lot more blitzes than Tennessee normally likes to call.

The blitzing exposed a secondary that had been filled with Pro Bowlers in 2008, while the linebackers failed to make much of an impact.

Offensively, Tennessee has the league's best running back in Chris Johnson, an expensive group of receivers that includes 2009 first-rounder Kenny Britt and one of the best offensive lines in football. So logically, the Titans will go for defensive help in the first round. Of course, it's worth remembering that the Titans took Johnson in the second round in 2008 even after taking running backs in the second round of each of the previous two drafts. So they sometimes do the unexpected.

Previous Pick: Giants -- Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri; Next Up: San Francisco

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida. If Pierre-Paul somehow manages to slip this far, it will be a gift for the Titans. There are reasons to be concerned -- he only has one year as a four-year college and he's still very raw -- but Pierre-Paul has the potential to be the speed rusher Tennessee has lacked since Jevon Kearse left town the first time. In a perfect world, Pierre-Paul becomes the kind of pass rusher who demands double teams and makes the rest of the defensive line better.

Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan. Graham is the safer pick at defensive end. He doesn't have the amazing athletic ability that Pierre has, but he has a much longer track record of success, gives excellent effort, plays the run well and shows solid pass rushing moves. Graham was one of the stars of the Senior Bowl and would fit more as a Kyle Vanden Bosch's replacement who picks up his sacks by giving an honest effort play after play.

ShareDan Williams, DT, Tennessee. Eight years ago, the Titans drafted Haynesworth out of Tennessee with the 15th pick in the first round. If they take Williams out of Tennessee with the 16th pick in this year's draft, it will be impossible to avoid comparisons even though Williams doesn't have Haynesworth's otherworldly athletic ability or Haynesworth's significant baggage. With Tony Brown set at one tackle, this spot isn't as much of a need as defensive end, but Williams would allow the position to once again become a team strength.
