AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 that concludes a surprising amount of interest in QB's this pre draft season we have either worked out or visited with Kyle Allen - Houston Mike White - Western Kentucky Mason Rudolph - Oklahoma St Craig Stevens - Colorado Kyle Lauletta - Richmond (significant presence at his pro day) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomachek Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Cant blame them with Mariota injury history, wouldn't be surprised if a back-up QB is drafted early. HOTT 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 There hasn't been 5 QBs taken in the first round since 1999 In no order: Donald Rosen Mayfield Allen Jackson Rudolph 6 guys rumored to go in the first round, I just can't see it happening. Someone is going to be available in the second round and that should push your next tier down into the 3rd to 4th round area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles showed that your backup QB doesn't have to be the equivalent of a spare tire like a Blaine Gabbert. You can draft real talent and develop them. Having 2 good QBs is a great problem to have - you keep pressure on the starter to always be on top of his game, have quality if the starter is injured, and could possibly even trade the backup for real draft capital.

Haven’t we only drafted 1 or 2 defensive players in the first round this past decade?

AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 can't see us taking Rudolph, there has been some rumors that the Jags love him, perhaps JRob just brought him in to build a scouting profile just in case he ends up as a Jag.

XAEA12 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Fact is if you're not looked at as a sure fire prospect once you get pushed out of the 1st and definitely 2nd round there is little expectation for your success as a QB. What that means is that quality QBs with holes in their game fall super far in the draft, just look at Brady who was flabby and had little college production. Give these guys a chance and really coach them up you can find a gem for bargain prices if you do your homework. Way too imortant a position to be so lacking in investment and research. Pat's had the best all time QB and always research the QBs and invest. Good to see we are having the same philosophy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By neglect I don't mean draft capital as much as we have historically been a defensive minded football team with offensive ingenuity being an afterthought over the past 20 years in TN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"According to Bleacher Report’s Doug Farrar, Shimonek informally met with approximately 20 teams at the NFL combine, with the Tennessee Titans noted as one team with considerable interest."

TitanedUpSince'70 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The fucking Steelers would be the bastards lucky enough to draft Rudolph and turn him into the next Big Ben or some shit. Oh hell nooo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shimonek is the the guy I think ends up a Titan......would love White but unless he lasts to our pick in the 5th...I don't see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
