TitanSS Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Treylom Burks issue isn't going to be his straight line speed. His 40 yard dash isn't the concern. He lacks agility and doesn't run a full route tree. He plays from the slot or the backfield and is given the ball on a lot of screens and gimmick plays. If he doesn't have the agility to be a great route runner and he's not this elite athlete at the next level, what are you projecting him to be? He's less Percy Harvin and more Laviska Shenault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 I've heard good things about Zack Tom from a ton of different places which leads me to believe he will go higher than projected. If everyone thinks he's a steal at the end of Day 2, he probably goes earlier than that on Day 2. Don't see him there at 90. The other issue is that he profiles similarly to Radunz where he has positional versatility, plus athleticism, and really needs to add strength.

TitanSS Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I think there is a 90% chance we're drafting Tyler Smith and I hate it. I think Zion Johnson is probably #1 on our board of realistic options, but I think the board falls in a way that they have to choose between Tyler Smith and a WR they only kind of like and we get first round OT reach #2 in 3 years. /cry My dream of realistic options is probably still Skyy Moore. Scared of the small school, but love the way he moves. Edited April 28, 2022 by TitanSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more ideally, just trading down. If five WRs are gone and all OLs higher ranked than Tyler Smith are gone, someone has fallen that another team will be interested in. I probably would want Jahan Dotson if he’s still an option if we had to stay where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Buzz is Karlaftis could be falling out of the first round. If he's there he is a great replacement for Dupree after 2022 and adds depth we really need for this year. He would be my unlikely dream. Top 15 player falling to us.

KingTitan Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The thing about picking 26 is that you gotta hope that 25 other teams somewhat got it wrong for you to have an impact player in the first. Some recent #26 picks: Jordan Love Montez Sweat Calvin Ridley Takkarist McKinley Paxton Lynch Breshard Perriman Marcus Smith Really looking at these drafts 25 and below goin back to 2014, Lamar Jackson might be the only real impact player. EDIT: 2017 gave us TJ Watt, Tre White, David Njoku, and Ryan Ramcyzk Odds are looking like no matter who we pick, it's gonna be an average to below average guy. Everyone holding out hope that we going take this guy that will immediately fill a hole might be disappointed. Likely the guy we take is a role player at best.

615finest Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m really hoping some guys sneak into the 1st round that nobody expected so it can push some guys to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Preparing myself for Tyler Smith being the guy at 26. It’s not that I hate him as a player. There’s actually more to like to him than I thought, especially if you intend to play him at guard. I just can’t justify taking a guy with so many things he needs to work on in the 1st round. He’s a home run 3rd round pick like Nate Davis, not the 26th pick imo. Edited April 28, 2022 by TitanSlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hand usage is garbage. Dude can’t pass-block for ****. If the plan is to play Radunz at RT, I damn sure wouldn’t be wasting a pick on a OG at 26, especially one who needs a ton of development. I still don’t know what they want to do with Radunz at this point. Dudes got the body of a LT and they want to mess around with him at OG.

titans0021 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 As someone that is anti drafting a QB, I’d still rather draft one at 26 than a project OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Realistic (mostly) hope list: 0. Trade the **** Down 1. Chris Olave 2. Treylon Burks 3. Zion Johnson 4. Trevor Penning 5. Jahan Dotson 6. Kenyon Green 7. Tyler Linderbaum 8. Whatever other WR 9. Desmond Ridder 10. Tyler Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
