KingTitan Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 After looking at him some more, reading up on him... how he went to coaches and asked to play special teams so he could play. He was behind Chase, Jefferson and Marshall. He needs a lot of work with his technique, but he flashes the skill. If he can simply be a bigger version of Kalif Raymond this year, using his speed and abilities then I'd call that a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Just look at the explosion off the line into his route. Then the acceleration after catching the ball. (Video should start at the 3:06 Mark). Pretty nice. Yeah it's a blown coverage. I'm just looking at him and the skills he displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burst > top end speed in a run first offense where they stack the box against us and blitz. We need guys to get open fast for quick outs. And if this is JRob's guy, you know he has decent blocking skills. Edited May 7, 2021 by TitanTuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans saw he was buried behind a super talented group of WRs, so there’s potential upside there. JRob seems to like spending later picks on guys who can play special teams well, since that’s probably more valuable than having your number 5 WR be better than the average number 5 WR. Late round picks rarely turn into anything more than rotational pieces, and even that isn’t super common. I like the idea of spending those picks on guys who can contribute to ST at least, and if they do anything more, it’s gravy. Still, should have just drafted a kicker.

I’m personally against drafting a kicker, unless it’s a rare, once in a generation kicking prospect. In terms of the career leaders in FG%, only 3 out of the top 20 were drafted (Stephen Gostkowski, Nate Kaeding and Harrison Butker). And Butker hasn’t even had his success on the team that drafted him (drafted by the Panthers, success has been with the Chiefs). Most kickers psyche is so fragile and can be so volatile, that I just wouldn’t spend a pick on one (unless it’s a once in a lifetime guy as previous said). Let UDFA guys battle it out or bring in preseason stars from other teams who are cut, and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I love this pick. Has ST experience and raw tools that can be coached up. He just needs to work hard and the coaching staff give him the time he needs, and he can be a bigger Chris Sanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 I think he will be this years WR camp crush. He just seems to have the abilities to become a productive WR, if he can refine his skills. At the least, as I said before, can be a big deep threat taking Raymond's spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you’re right but I’m not seeing anything more than a special teamer, at the moment. Maybe he can refine his skills as you said, with some professional coaching.

But I think he was drafted mostly for special teams, which is kindof JRob’s MO too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we basically drafted two SPT players with the last two picks. If the coverage teams aren’t the best in football this year after all the resources we’ve put into it, my lord....

TitanSS Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If he has double digit catches in his Titans career I would be very surprised. If he doesn't make it as a special teamer he likely isn't on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 I know a lot of players have measurables. Just hoping that he can find a way to use his....Not that he will be relied on, just good enough to get 4-6 snaps on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
