OILERMAN Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I couldn't find the link, not posted yet. Someone feel free to add it Cosell talked about WR John Ross and he was very high on him. Compared him to DJax and Hilton, more than a speed guy, understands route concepts and talked about how his speed has to be accounted for. Says Jonathon Allen is a good player. Better suited to play inside either at DT in 4-3 or end in a 3-4. Said he was technically sound and used his hands well. He raved about Rueben Foster, said he was one of the best players in the draft. Explosive and can do it all. Specifically asked about Howard at 5 but didn't really answer. Praised his ability to play on the line or split out outside. Said the Titans TEs have to be able to play on the line and run block. Good interview that talked a lot about current discussion on the board TitanTez, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanstattoo25 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'll listen shortly, always enjoy him. I really am thinking it's Thomas if they stay at 5 and he's still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually leaning towards Ross at 5, even over Davis at this point because we already have a precision guy in Sharpe. Don't think S makes sense now after FA. DL is a luxury pick and our run D was pretty legit. Only other way I could see us going is CB and it seems like the draft is deep. Not a huge fan of the Howard pick at 5. Lots of linebackers run 4.5's and S are being used to cover TE's. With no Ross, teams can cheat up their safeties and play closer to the line. IMO, Ross is the player that won't be in next year's draft, and only comes around once in a while. If they think Davis is just a precision guy then you're right, there's absolutely no reason to take him at #5. That being said...Davis is far from being just a precision guy. Him being the best route runner in the class doesn't mean he's subpar in every other category. The guy has size, speed, YAC ability and the ability to make contested catches. He's slightly taller, longer, heavier, and very likely faster than Sharpe. SB35, Justafan, NashvilleNinja, and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's like a comet. But, unfortunately, that's probably how his production will be too. Comes around fast and furious once and a while. Fantasy superstar for 4 weeks before going down. I can't risk a 1st rounder on a guy like that. SB35 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonboy Posted March 24, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just have this gut feeling that Allen falls past #5. Justafan, luvyablue256, XAEA12, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkster Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I like the idea of doubling down on offense in the first round and building around Marcus. To do that OJ Howard makes a lot of sense at 5. Fits the system, and would upgrade the passing attack. Not worried about Catch #s with Delanie. OJ is the only elite TE, which puts him as a higher commodity.  At 18, Williams/Ross/Davis would all upgrade the WR core.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishTitansFan Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Cossell also said he sees Zach Cunningham has a weakside LB in a 4-3, but liekedn him to Lawrence Timmons if he plays ILB in 3-4. Soxcat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm fine w/ Foster, Ross or Howard (no particular order)Â at 5 but I'd prefer to trade back. Still very interested in Davis as well but it doesn't seem like the Titans are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very interested in Davis as well but it doesn't seem like the Titans are. They met with Davis at the combine. He wasn't able to work out at his Pro Day so no surprise we didn't see a big Titans group there.. I'm sure they'll bring him in for a visit. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he couldn't play on a 3-4 line or DT unless he was on a team like the 2011 Giants in which they basically ran 4 DE's on their line, so they were able to use smaller DT's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
