NFL Draft Begins Tonight at 7pm
Tonight, at 7pm CT, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will take the stage in Detroit, to a parade of boos, to announce that the Chicago Bears are drafting USC QB Caleb Williams 1st overall.
After that?
Chaos ensues…
The 2024 NFL Draft is loaded with intrigue and uncertainty, with almost nothing guaranteed, even hours before the picks are made. The Titans currently hold the 7th overall pick, a highly-coveted spot that has drawn interest from other teams. On Tuesday, Titans GM Ran Carthon told the media that the Titans had received calls about the pick, but had made no decisions yet.
The truth of the matter is that despite only 6 picks before them, there is tons that could go down, that would affect that #7 pick for Tennessee.
QBs are likely to go with picks 1-3. Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is likely to go #4. The Chargers pick at #5, needing tons of help all over the board. The same goes for the Giants at #6. Both teams are likely candidates to snag one of the top WRs off of the board, a position that the Titans could use help at. Both teams also could use help on the offensive line though, a spot that every Titans fan knows is an issue.
If the Titans’ top OL and WR targets are gone, they could look to trade back, or possibly draft another player at #7. It truly depends on what happens in those first 6 picks.
And as GMs always say, the value of the pick is at its height, once the team goes on the clock. Meaning that we most likely won’t know the fate of the Titans 7th overall pick, until there are just a few minutes to go.
It’s what makes the NFL Draft so fun and unpredictable…it’s almost time to Titan Up!
Preds Even the Series with Vancouver
After falling 4-2 to the Canucks in game 1, the Predators seized a golden opportunity on Tuesday night, crushing Vancouver 4-1. Hours before game 2, it was announced that the Canucks’ goalie Thatcher Demko would be out for at least game 2.
Thankfully, the Preds jumped on that opportunity, jumping out to a 1-0 lead just 1:14 into the game, behind a goal from Anthony Beauvillier.
Nashville rode that 1-0 lead into the intermission, before banging home two quick goals in the 2nd period, extending their lead to 3-0. Vancouver scored a few minutes later to make it 3-1, but the Predators had a firm grip on the game by then.
An empty netter with 1:53 remaining in the game made it 4-1, and just like that, the series was tied 1-1.
Now, the Predators have a chance to take a 2-1 series lead on Friday night in Bridgestone Arena. Winning both games at home, would guarantee the Preds one more game in Nashville in this series, giving them a huge upper hand.
