With the 20th pick in the 2012 NFL draft the Tennessee Titans select Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin.
This was a fairly difficult decision. Tennessee recently signed Kameron Wimbley to play DE so I ruled out Upshaw and Mercilus. Michael Brockers and Dontari Poe were seriously considered, but both players show a lack of consistency on film. Kendall Wright and Stephan Hill were in the running as well but this draft is extremely deep at the wide receiver position so ultimately I went with O-line. The interior of the Titans offensive line was awful last season. The signing of veteran Steve Hutchinson was a good start. While Konz didn't have the best combine, he has plenty of good tape to fall back on. Wisconsin had a dominant offensive line and young Peter was a crucial piece. Jake Locker is the future in Tennessee and Drafting Mr. Konz will help solidify the interior of their o-line for years.
Commentary:
If there was one thing you knew was certain in college football, it was that Wisconsin had some quality linemen. Konz anchored that line. With the Titans having a running back in Chris Johnson that just needs a little bit of help and a young quarterback they wish to groom, a solid center cannot be overlooked.
