  1. Odunze or trade back in this scenario.
  2. This will be a fascinating draft as we will see what this staff truly feels is more valuable position by position. I have a feeling that Alt is not going to be the pick for the Titans. I think the Titans will try to trade back and get an OL later. I think Latham is who they really want. We shall see. Going to be fascinating. Likely one of Alt, Nabers or Odunze should be there at 7. Personally I would take one of those two wide receivers over Alt because the draft is very deep for o line.
  3. I was torn between and A and a B I voted A but would say A- overall. I will start with the reason I put a minus next to the A. Reason for concern being what a lot of people have already said. The 0 care to get a WR before the 7th round and the luxury pick of a RB in the 3rd round though Spears I think is a stud and will make for a wonderful compliment to Henry this year and a great back in a committee post Henry. However it can't be ignored the WR room is not good overall currently and something needs to be done. However, why I feel this draft deserves an A overall is for four main reasons. 1) The Titans offensive line even with the fa editions you could argue was still as big a need as WR. For the simple fact the Titans have lived and died by the offensive line being prioritized for so long now. Love it or hate it, the Titans have this right. The trenches are so important. That's how so many games are won and lost. To get Skoronski who imo and many others was the best o lineman in the draft at 11. Incredible pick and value doesn't matter if he plays at Tackle or Guard. We had need at both. He fills a huge need. To also add Duncan late who also has a lot to like about his game has our o line in a much better place right now. Not leagues best but should be vastly improved and respectable this year. That is critical. 2) It's a QB driven league and love him or hate him getting Levis at 33 was again great value and he has the talent of a first rounder. I really don't understand how Richardson went at 4 and Levis fell for us to move up and get him but am happy about it. Whether it works out or not, we needed to do something at QB. I don't think the Titans will be bad enough to pick higher than 11 next year and next year's QBs other than a couple I don't see as being ahead of Levis. So love the Titans trying to secure the most important position in football when they had a chance. Excited to see how he develops and does. He actually fits a run heavy and play action style which was when our offense was best l. He has all the physical abilities and I believe will be a great one with proper time and coaching. 3) Preparing for the next version of the Titans. Tannehill and Henry are almost done. So much like point 2 need a plan soon for QB and Levis fits. Same goes for Henry and Spears is a nice piece to form a committee. Always got to plan ahead to be ready. 4) Great value throughout based on projections and where the Titans took players. That is a good strategy to more likely hit on players. Bottom line, the WR room worries me but hope we can add another. If the WR room remains as is that is concerning but overall the draft set us up better for the future and especially since regardless of what the Titans did, they weren't challenging for a Super Bowl this year. Just my take but I am excited about the additions.
  4. This is truth. The arm length thing is beyond stupid. Skoronski imo if you add it all up was the best overall offensive lineman in the draft. He also has a very high floor to go with a high ceiling. To get him at 11 was a blessing and honestly lucky.
  5. At this point, I don't see any other way but to trade for an established vet WR They can't seriously be content with this group at WR. Even if you are trying to tank, you could have signed a couple of cheap vets to at least have halfway decent options. They have to do something.
  6. This draft has been solid in my opinion. If they don't get Levis and roll with Tannehill then after next year what's the plan for QB if the team is around 500? Levis has potential so I can get behind it. Skoronski was a great pick to fill a need. Spears is very promising and Henry needs help. Also you all seem to forget that we did address WR. Chris Moore about to have an 1000 yard season. I am joking about Chris Moore by the way and I really don't understand the plan at WR. It's just negligent at this point. However I am good with the draft overall so far just not sure why a RB was the choice at 3 but the more I read and see on him he is impressive. Maybe we should have seen this all coming with how often Cartoon and Vrabel hyped up running the ball. Getting speed though I don't know how Vrabel can say that and this is the result. Team speed is not better. The Titans are better today as Skoronski is a plug and play starter. Levis is a much better QB than Willis imo. He has big time potential but needs to fix some things. If Levis can become something, that is huge. Got to try and get a true top tier QB somehow. Spears I think in a committee will be great. Seriously though, wth is the plan at WR. Who is going to catch the ball outside of Burks and Chig? We better fix the injury bug woes or man going to be even more rough at wide receiver
  7. Seriously this is gold I burst out laughing when I read this. Seems like a Vrabel guy. Haha
  8. I am trying to remember where I saw this written but the visits the Titans have taken so far, not many are considered top 10. If visits have any true meaning and not just a lot of smoke screens, signs seem to point to the Titans trading back. I don't believe the Titans will trade up for a QB as I think we need a serious infusion of young talent and giving up a ton of picks may not make the most sense. Now if you trade for a QB and they are a hit than what you gave up doesn't matter. I don't believe for a second that QBs won't be taken at 1 and 2. Why would Houston pass on a QB at 2? I would be shocked. So that will likely leave Richardson and Levis to trade up for as the Colts will take one of them. So that's 3 QBs in the top 4 picks. I am fine with the Titans trading up for a QB if they truly believe in one that falls. However, personally I hope the Titans either stay at 11 and pick Skoronski (yes even over Paris or Broderick as Skoronski has such a high floor with all pro potential. We need to hit on this first round pick we can't botch another one. Or hope the Titans can trade down and get either a WR, TE or O lineman in the first and pick up some more picks. I don't buy the hype of the Titans trading up. I think it's all smoke and mirrors. This draft for the Titans is so exciting as they can go so many ways.
  9. I think this is a great contract for Dillard and I honestly believe he can be an above average LT for us for years to come. Maybe he won't be an all pro but a solid LT is nothing to sneeze at. I believe in Dillard's ability and hope he does well.
  10. The more I think on it these are the three routes I can see the Titans going in the first round of the draft: 1) Stay at 11 and if he is there they draft Skoronski. I think he is a perfect fit and safer pick to go with the theme of this offseason. He can be a tackle or guard but I think you put him at LG and have Dillard at LT and it's a big time improvement on O line with young talent to boot. 2) Trade up for one of the other two QBs (Richardson or Levis). Don't think they have the ammunition to trade up to get Young or Stroud. 3) Trade down as this is a solid draft for Tight ends but the wide receivers will slide further down the draft and if you can pick up a later first and a third or something you can still likely get some quality WRs. Despite our huge need at WR, I can't believe that we would go into the draft with this group. Surely. Right?? If we do, I can see the temptation to take one at 11 but I don't think this WR draft that is good value. Better to trade down if that is the plan to get more draft picks.
  11. Honestly this has been one of the most confusing Titans offseasons since I have been a fan of over 20 plus years. To be clear, I like every signing the Titans have made so far. I get the strategy in a transition year of less spending higher upside. I get all that. What I don't get whatsoever is the plan at WR which is the worst looking WR room possibly in Titans history and that's saying a lot. I have a ton of faith in Burks but going to be quadruple covered with this group. Also done nothing to address tight end. Done the bare minimum on the o line. Now the rumors of they may cut Byard which would be beyond stupid. Unless the plan is to tank. However if the plan is to tank, why on Earth are you holding onto Tannehill or Henry? Maybe they plan to move on from them too, but to who at this point? I am trusting in Ran but it's very odd the state of the Titans right now. Not good enough to be better than 500 if we are lucky. Not bad enough to be a top 5 pick. What is going on? Yes I know the draft remains and Ran has a history of great later round picks but that is a lot to rely on when you only have 6 picks in the draft. I am confused as to what the direction is as of yet.
  12. How we kept tossing Daley out there is a failure on Vrabel and all the coaching staff. Truly idiotic.
  13. Titan up! What a squad we will be fielding tonight. This could be the worst lineup in Titans/Oilers history being fielded today. I say.....Good! Embrace the tank people. There is no good in accidentally winning tonight or winning next week. Need the highest pick possible to fix the severe lack of talent especially on offense on this team. Also seeing Tannehill, Dupree and Cunningham all on IR today. Dupree and Cunningham are both total jokes what a complete waste. Those two got to go and Tannehill I am 50/50 on. I think we need to rebuild for a couple years so I don't see the benefit keeping Tannehill around when we need higher picks. One thing I will say, if Lewan is actually able to play again and his knee checks out finally, we absolutely need to keep him around. Left tackles don't grow on trees and this team could use his levity and attitude right now. Going to be a dark couple of seasons upcoming guys but it's what's needed. Tonight is going to be a slaughter I will not be watching unless I need a good laugh. Sad state of affairs this team right now but they need to lose and glad they have a brain and realize that.
  14. Going to be another big test for the Titans going into Philly. Titans can win but offense going to have to be more consistent and the run game MUST show up this week. I don't like our O lines chances if we pass a ton. Eagles are not as good as their record I don't care how this game goes. I also don't believe Hurts deserves to be talked about as the upper elite tier at QB. We already played those three Allen, Mahomes and Burrows. Titans can win this and actually match up well against Philly. Hope Arthur does nothing this game and he is crying on the sidelines at the end. Great player, appreciate what he did for us during his time here but he left on bad terms so forget him. If the Titans offense can manage to score 24 points, I think Titans win. Should be a good one.
  15. What a throw and catch there finally got something going passing. Good on NWI with a heck of a catch.
