Many of us are guilty at times of being short-sighted when it comes to the draft, looking at upgrades that are hoped for now while overlooking future needs.  In that vein, I believe it's a good idea to take a look at the Titans starters (or those who could be starters) in 2012 whose contracts will expire at the end of this season.Seven players in the last year of their contracts...
