Rookie (1/5)

  1. It's pretty crazy that we can choose the 4th WR in the whole draft. There's gotta be someone we have ranked high enough and love.
  2. Regarding the WRs, this has to be some kind of record. Only 1 WR chosen so far.
  3. At this point, assuming McCoy doesn't make it to 51, you have to go WR or TE. That's where the best value is now. IOL is just gonna have to wait unfortunately.
  4. It looks like a certainty that both Jonah and Dillard will be gone by pick 11, given the prediction from that one Bengals reporter who always nails their drafts. I would add Jawaan as also likely top 10.
  5. I put Wilkins as the likely pick, and Tillery as my preferred pick. Reading the tea leaves, I think Jrob's ranking of realistic picks at 19 are: 1. Burns 2. Wilkins 3. Tillery 4. Ferrell 5. Dex 6. Hollywood I really don't think Simmons is a possibility if any of the above 6 are still on the board. We'll see tomorrow!
  6. I'm not saying we won't draft Hollywood, but Jrob did have the chance to draft John Ross and decided to go with Corey instead. So technically Jrob had the opportunity to acquire the fastest WR ever.
  7. It's amazing that we found out 25 out of 30 visits. I think Jrob's history is clear that our 1st round pick will either have been a private visit (Conklin, Davis, Jackson) or significant attention at a pro day/workout (Evans). At this point, I would be shocked if our 1st round pick isn't one of the 5 players at the top of your list, plus Wilkins. Personally, I hope we end up with Tillery. I think he's being undervalued, and I don't get why people are reportedly put off by his demeanor or outside interests. I saw some interviews with him and he seems thoughtful and articulate.
  8. At this point, given the visits that we know about, I think it's a certainty that IOL will not be our first round pick. We have clearly positioned ourselves to be comfortable staying at 19 and picking among the following, depending on how the board falls: - Ferrell - Burns - Wilkins - Tillery - Hollywood If Oliver falls within a decent range to get him, then I can see Jrob moving up a few spots. IOL will be our 2nd or 3rd round pick, with DL/WR being the other depending on our 1st round pick. I feel confident that one of the above 5 (or Oliver, if we get lucky) will be our pick and there will be enough QBs (probably 3) and OTs (probably 4) picked ahead of us to ensure that happens.
  9. I think the last 1/3 of the first round is really the beginning of the second round in terms of talent. So you’re not finding sure fire studs, but potential starters. At that point it’s all about who fits your needs and scheme. I think we have locked in on Hubbard and Sweat, but we know we can get them a few picks later. If we can find a trade partner, that’s great. If not, Jrob is gonna stick and pick one of those guys, probably Hubbard since he’s a little safer given Sweats past injury history. Not a sexy pick but hope he at least becomes a reliable starter.
  10. I think we might have been the team to medically flunk LVE, but instead of saying that’s the reason we instead said that he probably wouldn’t last till our pick.
  11. http://www.titansonline.com/video/videos/Back2Campus-Derrick-Henry-and-Rashaan-Evans/d67c4240-2620-490b-bc7f-199493aed93e Derrick Henry and Rashaan Evans back on campus. At the end, Henry says something about Evans being drafted by the Titans. It's weird to me that we haven't even brought this guy in for a visit, or any 1st round graded ILB for that matter.
  12. In today's mock draft by Charlie Campbell at Walterfootball.com, Charlie had this to say about our pick at 25: "In speaking to a reliable source, they believe the Titans are targeting outside linebacker, inside linebacker, and defensive line - in that order - for this pick. They felt that Rashaan Evans or Harold Landry could be the finalists for this pick. This source told me to lock in Marcus Mariota many months before the 2015 NFL Draft. They told me the organization loved Jack Conklin in 2016, and last year, they said to mock a receiver at No. 5 and Adoree' Jackson at No. 18. Thus, I'm going to listen to this source even though some other teams have told me they have Landry graded as a second-rounder. I think Titans general manager Jon Robinson also would value an inside linebacker later in the draft, as he was part of Tampa Bay landing Kwon Alexander in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo are aging while nearing the end of their contracts, plus Landry is a good fit for Mike Vrabel's scheme as well." In my experience, Charlie does actually have a good source on Titans draft targets, and I recall all those hits he mentioned in the last several years. Given our pre-draft visits with Josh Jackson, Justin Reid and Jaire Alexander, I think you also have to add DB/S as one of our position targets in the first round. Although we haven't found out about any official 30 visits with first-round caliber inside linebackers or defensive line (like Evans, Payne, etc.), I don't think you can rule those guys out, especially given what Charlie's source is saying.
  13. What I want to happen at 25: Landry, Davenport or LVE. What will likely happen at 25 based on our visits: Jackson, Reid, Sweat or Hubbard.
  14. I don't think we will trade up in the 1st this year. If that was a possibility, we would not have cancelled our official visit with LVE. We would also be seeing higher profile names coming in for official visits. Instead, we see names like Josh Jackson, Josh Sweat, Arden Key, Justin Reid, etc. We should all be prepared to be a bit underwhelmed by our 1st round selection, at least compared to the last couple years. We're not in a position to grab a premium player (in my opinion there are only 10 or so of those guys in this draft). Our best, reasonable hope is to simply land a decent starter in both the 1st and the 2nd.
