    Sneed!

    The talk is like his knee is about to need serious attention, or is is deteriorating? Either way, vital trade capital, a big contract and a knee that sounds like a ticking time bomb? Uhhhhhhhhh fuck no.
  2. Well you kind of found the point: Titans fans are not obsessed with WRs; they just want our starting WRs to at least be average, and with the exceptions of AJ and Nuk, they just never are. All in all, I’d say most of us get hyped when we draft good to great defensive players. And for me the last several years it’s been a failure of drafting a reliable partner for AJ when they had a chance. Now on paper we’re the best we’ve ever seemed to be on the outside, but you have to know that their average age is 30.
  3. The Ringer mock draft has the Vikings trading with the Titans who receive picks 11 & 23 in exchange. Joe Alt went #10 to the Jets. Taliese Fuaga Cooper DeJean Not bad, but at this point, I may have taken the risk on Troy Fautanu at 11. Either way, two 1st round picks this year would be hard to pass up.
  4. Also, I guess what I mean is I’m not going to be butt hurt and put out if they draft a wide receiver in round one. It’s just that I can reduce the most amount of anxiety that I HAVE about the LT spot if they DO draft Joe Alt. It doesn’t mean that’s a day 1 competent starter at LT. Maybe they get a FA to play LT and Alt goes to the right. Maybe they get Suamataia or Paul and draft a TE like Theo Johnson, still having gotten a FA. We have no way of knowing what they’ll do in the end. That’s just that Aaron Wilson or no one else mentality that too many here suffer from. They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat for a reason. All we can do is wait and see. I mean, this is so obvious it feels almost embarrassing to type.
  5. l Lol, there’s a number in there. It’s 38. A “3rd receiver” who has starting capability to take over for Hopkins after one year? I clearly say that’s possible on either day 1 OR 2. There’s a HUGE range of possibility in what I said, including adding extra capital by trading down in either round 1 or 2. A “3rd CB” in the 1st round with a trade down is “someone they will start immediately on the outside.” HE IS NOT YOUR NB. That’s Roger McCreary. Quinyon Mitchell is a starter on the outside who ran a 4.33 and has the size and length to be CB1. Not to mention, I’ve said more than a couple of times my ideal scenario would be to get Joe Alt in the first, and Troy Franklin in the second, if they go OT/WR. All you’re really saying is “we have to draft a LT at 7” without really paying attention to what I’m saying.
  6. The theory is good and the needs are real, but I would, most of the time, not all of the time, rather get the better ranked player. Even with Ridley added, our WR group is shifting sands. Always is. I think all the guys the Titans would consider at 38 or in the 2nd would/ will be able to lineup outside as well as in the slot. And have a good chance to be able to be a starter. And I do think there’s several different things they could do if they wanted to and many people would be disappointed, but it would be okay. Like if they took Quinyon Mitchell, probably in some trade down, or for Dallas Turner either at 9 or 7, say. Regardless, I think they think they have a chance to be overwhelming at the receiver position for a change and get also be for its near future. We’ll see if it gets to play out that way this year, but it’s why the odds are high to pick one on day 1 or 2, and one on day 3. Receivers are your bullets on offense. Load ‘em.
  7. If they skip on WR in round one, I’d be fine with Ladd McConkey or Ricky Pearsall in two. I really like Pearsall. Difference is it won’t be a surprise if McConkey is gone by or near 38. And while I grant Pretty Ricky as having 2nd rd or day two skills, I’m not sure it’s all the way to 38, in the draft view of things, but I can definitely see them both being early contributors and eventual starters. So in that, I wouldn’t really mind either in the 2nd if they take OT round one.
  8. He actually said a couple of weeks ago (someone said the porn star name thing) that he didn’t even have the best name in the family. That honor went to his stepdad, Richard.
  9. I considered Sweat in the 2nd but after the Combine I’m a little concerned about how long until he can get NFL-conditioned. Maybe too long to for 38, but I did get high on him in wanting to possibly upgrade Tart.
  10. Yeah I was very prepared to hate this signing. I don’t. It makes us extremely reliable at WR as long as he can stay healthy and be mature (I don’t know). It should be fun. Yeah, I still want to lean slightly toward Alt. But in my mind, Nabers is probably ranked ahead of him. Maybe Odunze also. I’d like to see what they look like as Titans, no doubt. But I think if they do go OT and select WR at 38, they could then afford to take Ladd McConkey, Troy Franklin, Roman Wilson, Keon Coleman, etc. Some of those maybe even by trading down. They could just as easily trade down and take someone like Brian Thomas Jr or Adonai Mitchell. Not that I’m saying do that. Just that the corps would still look great, plus extra picks. Having lost Denico Autry to the Texans, I wouldn’t completely rule out Darius Robinson in two instead. Same with a DB. Just depends on how the rest of this goes.
  11. Is this my 2nd favorite signing of the Titans’ offseason? Yes. Yes, I think it is.
  12. I like Nabers just a wee bit more, but when I first mentioned Odunze here I said he could be a perfect wideout for Levis. What I’ve also been thinking is that he would probably end up being a guy the Titans really like as far as his personality goes, which is why I thought a guy like Keon Coleman, wouldn’t be a Titans guy at least in round one. Maybe I’m projecting but I’ve long thought the Titans could select Odunze even if Nabers is there, and maybe even over the LTs when it’s over. On the WR flip side, if Ran really had Flowers over Skoronski and it went WR this year, you would think picking Nabers would be a slam dunk from his perspective, but then you have everyone else’s considerations too, including the Callahans’ and Levis’s. I think if they draft a WR in one with or without a trade down and back up, they have to be prepared to at worst draft Patrick Paul at pick 38. It seems obvious that “overdrafting” Paul is the inevitable consequence of drafting a WR in one to secure a LT prospect who might develop by year two, and yes they’re probably looking to bring in a Jonah or a Trent to hold it down. But at this point, it’s a gamble to think we’d have a shot of getting Mims, Guyton or Suamataia at 38, so plan for Paul. I’d like to go Alt or Fashanu, and then get Troy Franklin, and if not, trade back some and take Ja’Lynn Polk. I mean, I’d be O…K taking Mitchell, but I am concerned about his taking plays off. I think maybe Polk is underrated.
  13. Washington is one of the few guys to have earned above a 90 Pie receiving grade from PFF in 2023. Feels like a 3rd round option to me, but I’m interested if he’s available. Just waiting for the Combine to really get a better idea of him. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
