I saw a couple of TJ’s clips on Tate recently. Preach.

Starting to wonder if there’s a little something behind the scenes. But he was a guy many projected in the 50s.

Stukes is gone but I’d still draft Scott in a heartbeat. It can’t be helped. I’d almost consider Jaishawn Barham at 69 even though I don’t really want to. Still pulling for one of the OL guys to be the pick. Lol, willing to accept one of several candidates at this point.

I would love to get Treydan Stukes (or Keionte Scott but less hopeful he makes it there; slim chance either are there, but still—) as he can play NB or FS. If Sam Hecht is there at 69, that’s probably the move I’d make, but if he’s not, I can see a scenario where they have to “reach” on the likes of Jake Slaughter, Jager Burton or Trey Zuhn, whom I really like, unless they’re willing to risk trading back from 69. I guess Kyle Louis is another candidate here, but I’m willing to punt on LB until later. As stated, this is a bit tough to navigate without 101 in hand.

A couple of days ago on Pushing the Pile with Mike Renner and JP Acosta both said if they were the Cardinals they would rather trade a 3rd for Will Levis (or 1 or 2 other young backups, but also, Levis specifically) than draft anyone after Mendoza and punt on QB til ‘27. Unlikely but would be awesome.

Pretty much.

At 69, I’m hoping either 1) Treydan Stukes actually falls here or 2) They take a center like Sam Hecht or Jake Slaughter if they ended up liking him that well. 69 might seem a little high for Slaughter but he was the most athletic center at the combine, so I’ve wondered if he could go higher than being a mid day 3 pick. The ESPN Best Available has him right under Hecht.

After Love was gone, I’m surprised and pleased they took Tate. It means they knew they were another Ridley fall-off away from being down to one proven WR and two half cooked 2nd year receivers, plus UDFA Bryce Oliver. I’m also glad they came away with the best WR prospect if they couldn’t trade down.

Watch this. He explains why. If not, I’ll say highlight that he’s super lazy with route running, he shifted from more outside to inside from 24-25 and was more successful. He’s not very consistent yet. Had to be called out by coaches before he turned it on. Has things to build on, and will definitely be overdrafted due to his highlights. Just won’t start out where the hype makes you think his production will. I’m out at 35. I think I’d rather have Boston or KC (not likely). I’d rather go Bell or Hurst at 66, or Deion Burks at 101. But I’m more concerned they’ll need to grab a guard at 35 and a center at 66 or 101.

It’s more than that. He says he’s heard the Titans are trying to make a move along the OL that will create a hole, and in order to fill that hole, they will draft Francis Mauigoa. I mean, to me, it’s suggesting the Titans are ready to move JC Latham for some non premium capital or a player. Maybe trying to get rid of another Carthon player. Just can’t imagine that’s real given the back injury to Mauigoa. He said it like, And, unfortunately, Titans fans aren’t going to like this, but….” It’s disturbing to even speculate.

KC Concepcion. Wasn’t expecting him to be there, but if he is, so be it.

I also heavily consider him at 35 to play RG for a year before moving to LT.

She did it last year with Cam, too. She was on with Buck Reising recently and said she had some apologizing to do to Titans fans for last year. She at it again.

Oh, you mean like Ja’Marr Chase (1) vs Justin Jefferson (2) at LSU, huh? Yeah, that could never happen.

Whether they do or not, that’s cope, and not logic. This organization also drafted a RB at #1 overall who was rookie of the year, NFL MVP in year one, as well as a Hall of Famer.
