I see you still have the Titans drafting a safety in round 2 after we signed Rashad Johnson and have Searcy at SS. That's a highly questionable choice.
Titans still need: a right tackle (or a left one if it's a top pick, to move Lewan). A guard A corner a receiver Backups at: NT, ILB, OLBx2, and maybe FS and RB.
That said, I don't care about needs. If there's an amazing player sitting there, I'll take him anyway. And I think most teams go with that philosophy and just use needs to break ties or save their jobs. But Bell isn't that guy, I don't think.
If I'm picking with who's left on your board, I would take Darron Lee, and look long and hard at Sterling Shepard as well.

patriotsk1d Bullard is projected by everyone to move to 4-3 DE or even OLB in the NFL. He's athletic enough and not strong enough to play inside in the pros. COC stealing my Burns-Pats pick from months ago I don't see him as an edge rusher. He played almost exclusively as a two gap in college. I could see him as a 4-3 DE, but I don't think he is versatile to play OLB in a 3-4. I think his best fit is as an inside rusher, even if he is a little bit undersized. Either way I am not against adding a pure edge rusher, or a true LB who can also rush off the edge, I don't see Bullard as that guy.

That's a fair assessment. Bullard's stock would be a lot higher if he were a pure 4-3 end and if he'd played there before, and if we had tape of him succeeding there. I see him as an undersized 4-3 end in a 1 gap defense, which is obviously a big transition. However, Florida knows how to coach up their D-lineman very well. Easley had almost never played as a three technique at Florida before going to New England. Fowler was supposed to go from LE to RE in Jacksonville. Bullard might be a guy who rides the bench as a rookie and turns into a star later in his career like Justin Smith or Everson Griffin.

Same CB/WR combo you had for the Chiefs last time. Except Alexander over Apple, which I'm cool with. And the Pitt WR.
Jumping Miller from bottom of the second to late/mid first? I'd be surprised to see him go in the first.

I'd be surprised to see him go in the first. I've read there are several teams that are considering Miller in the 1st, including Houston. I would not be surprised whatsoever. There are always question marks here and there when teams overreach for players in the 1st. Don't be surprised about anything in 3 weeks.

Bullard might be a guy who rides the bench as a rookie and turns into a star later in his career like Justin Smith or Everson Griffin. I don't think Easley really compares to Bullard though. I guess they are similar in the sense that their NFL position was basically a projection. Easley would have likely been a top 10 pick if it wasn't for the knee injury and while he was/is undersized or over sized depending on what position he is playing, he has an extremely rare quickness and explosiveness, that pretty much makes up for anything he lacks. Last year New England played a 4-2-5 look over 70 percent of the time, the year before it was over 60 percent. So the majority of the time they are running schemes which use a two gap system. I very much like Bullard as a two gap DT, but he would be our 5th DT and would probably be inactive most of the season. It could still very well be something the Pats consider, they have basically redshirted players in the past, but I think they would opt for an OT, WR, or even a trade down over an interior dline in the second round. And for the record I very much like Bullard, just don't see it as something that would be worth in in the second round when you consider Knighton, Branch, Easley, and Brown are all on the roster, plus Chris Jones who was on IR last year, but played very well in 2013 and 2014.

Now this is something I did new. I went onto Drattek.com and went into their draft simulator where you can change around a team's draft needs by ranking them from 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 9 (they have their explanations in there so be sure to read through them thoroughly). Then I just let them make the picks for me. Of course there are some head scratchers mixed in, but you get that with the Draft so I let them stand. Those were mainly the results of how I left some needs the same. I have the entire draft out so I will be adding them periodically. I only have the 1st 3 rounds though since it is like 2:40 am over here and I should get some sleep.

Hey CoC why Cash over Bell, just curious.
Assuming Mitchell would switch to SS if needed.

Hey CoC why Cash over Bell, just curious. Assuming Mitchell would switch to SS if needed. I didn't make these picks. It was a simulation. I just adjusted the draft needs based on my opinions.

If I were picking at this board, I would take Floyd and Garnett. Mills is a good fit though because we are going to cut our backup FS Marqueston Huff and Mills can start as corner depth which we really need.
Also, I don't like Ogbah in the 34 on the pros
