Revenge Of The Birds Community Mock Draft: 16th Pick, Tennessee Titans

With the 16th pick of the Revenge of the Birds community mock draft, the Tennessee Titans select...

Sean Weatherspoon | Linebacker | Missouri

GM: kj197728

Strengths: Aside from his frame, Weatherspoon is also a tackling machine. As a starter at Missouri, he averaged 129 tackles per season and was the leader of the defense. He has good instincts and reaction speed and he can identify screens and bootlegs very quickly. He's a chase defender and can gain momentum downhill in a hurry. Weatherspoon is also very good against the run and has good instincts to find the ball carrier and lay a lick.

Weaknesses: He'll sometimes overshoot a run and can find himself staring at the back of a running back if he's not careful. He's a bit undersized to play in the middle(6'1, 239 lbs), and some teams may worry he's not the ideal inside linebacker. He tends to avoid blocks and can get lost in the shuffle as a result.  

Why the Titans will draft Weatherspoon: The Titans need to look for a DE, LB, CB, or DT.  Out of the four they will go for a LB.  Stephen Tullochis not a good ILB and there is no depth behind him.  David Thornton is too injury prone and getting older.  Keith Bulluck was let go from the team and was replaced with a much worse Will Witherspoon.  The Titans need to add a rotational or starting OLB/ILB.  Sean Weatherspoon out of Missouri could be a great fit here.  Weatherspoon can play inside or outside.  This makes him viable to replace Tulloch in the middle or Witherspoon and Thornton on the outside.  Titans take Sean Weatherspon LB out of Missouri.
