I believe that the direction that the Titans will chose to go here is with a DE. When you look at their needs list they have addressed the LB need (Will Witherspoon) and the CB need (Tye Hill), leaving OL, DL, S. The best 2 S (in my opinion) will be off the board here, and the next one will be a reach. So that leaves OL and DL. When you look at players lost though and see the name Kyle Vanden Bosch, you realise fast that he has to be replaced. Also when you think that (again in my opinion) all the DE will still be on the board, it makes sense that they will get the best player in a position of need. The question now is which DE to pick. Would it be the in-exposed but highly talented Jason Pierre-Paul from South Florida, or would it be Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan. More is known about Morgan, and he is seen as a solid player, but I believe that the Titans will take Pierre-Paul. His workouts have been very impressive and he is an impressive human being. Although he hasn't had much big game experience I believe this player could be very special.

Looking at the needs of the Steelers against the players in list, the only position of need not addresses is the CB position. Also with only Joe Haden off the board at this position (again according to my mock draft) I believe they will look at the next best CB, Boise States Kyle Wilson. Wilson, according to scouts, is defiantly 1st round material, and will be able to start immediately in the NFL. I think this will suit the Steelers down to the ground.
