I'm Major Jealous of the Titans Interior Olinemen

In a 1-2 month span the Titans solidified their Interior Oline for the next 5-10 years. Levitre-RG, Warmack-LG, Schwenke-C/G backup--WOW!!! Yeah I know they had some different circumstances than the Cowboys, but what a bonanza. They had some cap space in order to get Levitre and picked 10th, meaning bad record in 2012, to get Warmack and Schwenke just fell to them. They accomplished in this short span what we've been trying for years to do, and haven't come close. Someone should post the Titans Interior Oline in Jerry's office so he can see it every day.

Warmack would be a Cowboy if he fell to us. I think

Schwenke went about where he should have gone. By the Cowboys ranking he went a round early.

Yea I think when Warmack got drafted I think that was when the Cowboys decided to be satisfied with trading down.

I'd take our guys and Tony Romo over those guys and Jake Locker.

I would as well without thinking twice.

Me too.
But I still agree with the OP that it was a great haul.

Of course a minor disaster had already struck them with the big LeVitre injury.

Also agree that for sure (or Cooper) would be in Dallas if he had fallen to 18.

I do think Dallas underrated Schwenke. It would not surprise me if they found a later roundguy who will start in a year.

Cowboys have a long established history of ranking offensive linemen in the draft lower than would seem wise, so that's not surprising.

Going deep at OG means you're going thin elsewhere. They're nice players, though. Especially if Levitre's wheel holds up.

Yeah its always interesting when one area of interest for us is good for another team but we basically dominate them in every other area it is ignored.....I'm not at all jealous of them cause of one area of their team, we are still a better overall football team.

Interior OL does help win football games, but when some continue to ignore that the biggest difference makers on a team are the premium positions (QB, LT, pass rushers, and CBs) it just starts to irritate me.

Are they better than us at any premium position?!!? NO. So why do I care about the Titans again, they suck for that reason.

Yes, the Titans are totally my Superbowl favorite this year. Give me a break.

I thought Jerry wanted Kenny Vaccaro and when the Saints picked him, he decided to trade down?

What, are u Jerry's brother?

What are you, one of "Jerry's kids"?
Anyone with a clue about football would take Tony and our interior OL over their QB and whomever is in front of him.

Boys rankings suck.......this guy was the best center in the draft(Barrett Jones not healthy) and we ended up reaching for a guy in the first round who most likely will be pushed aside by Phil Costa

Going deep at offensive line means your going to go deep into the playoffs. This team will have an amazing running game. Chris Johnson is back on my fantasy radar. Its amazing how people forget how an amazing offensive line can control a game.

yeah is it not interesting that our last 3 rings came with a superb interior O line?

the titans probably won't even finish in the top half of their division. they aren't making any deep playoff runs this year. while i agree that i'd love to have a deep OL, i wouldn't take their offense as a whole over ours and it isn't even close imo.
