The Facts: Sharpe, a fifth-round pick in Aprils', continues to impress the Titans, and worked as a first-teamer during their opening minicamp practice Tuesday. "He's right there right now, he could be our starter, he could be the starting X," WRs coach Bob Bratkowski said. ". He's competing for it, nothing's given to him at this point. But he's performing at a level as high, or higher, than any of the guys in the group."

Diehards Line: Rishard Matthews and Kendall Wright appear likely to be in the top three for the Titans. Dorial Green-Beckham, a second-rounder from Oklahoma, and Justin Hunter are split-end types, as is Sharpe. As ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky notes, it's a great sign that Sharpe is drawing such raves. But that he can outrank Green-Beckham and Hunter so quickly says a lot about those two players as well. Mike Mularkey said the Titans are not trying to send a message by putting Sharpe at the head of the line. They are rewarding the best play with the top spots. But any competitor seeing it unfold in front of him should regard such a development as a push, Mularkey said. ... It's something to watch when training camp opens.
