How hard is it to not do dumb shit for 3 to 6 months?

Got it tomorrow for you in between meetings

And "running back talent is abundant and replaceable" applies just as much to linebacker. Fred Warner was a 3rd rounder. Bobby Wagner was a 2nd rounder. Darius Leonard was a 2nd rounder. Roquan Smith went 8th and people debated whether even that was too high. The league finds quality three-down linebackers on day two constantly. How many Jeremiyah Loves are in this draft? One. How many linebacker/safety hybrids can you find in rounds 2-3? Multiple. If we're talking scarcity, Love is the scarcer asset in this specific class. But forget the positional value debate for a second. Which player is going to have a bigger impact on this team in 2026? We have a second-year QB who needs the offense built around him. Love transforms the entire offensive identity — run game, play action, receiving threat, taking pressure off Cam Ward every single snap. Styles is a solid defender who makes the defense incrementally better. One changes the trajectory of the franchise. The other is a nice piece. Someone wanting Styles at 4 is just crazy to me.

So the titans have no playmakers on offense, Saleh has shown repeatedly he can turn mid to late round lb into stars.Lb is no more top 5 value than rb. Both Daboll and Saleh got fired for crappy offenses and you’d take the lb? Gotta be bait- bc your takes are consistently better than that

If we dont get an edge in 1 or 2, I can't see us gettng one this draft. And if they really go BPA- then we may not bc some good offensvie players could fall to 35.

Warner was a 3rd round pick. Most of Saleh's linebackers - he turns into stars or find- are later round picks.

If you're going but need but it is also still possible he was bpa by the staff.. particulary when bpa is determined largely by impact.

Cam played on a worse team. Carter also was absolutely horrible against the run. "The 2025 New York Giants run defense was historically poor through the first 12 weeks, ranking as one of the worst in NFL history. Despite preseason hope, the unit allowed +0.193 EPA/Rush, the highest since at least 2000, and over 2,300 rushing yards for the season." The verdict is still out on both of them and there are people who would then and now argue for either. The point isnt to prove Cam was definitely the BPA but it is quite possibe and even likely many considred him so- including Borgi

Ed Reed and Ray lewis can rush the passer and did score Tds...

lol potentially. But they dont meet the criteria. I mean they want someone who can score tds, rush teh passer or block.. I mean that's every position but kicker. TE- score TDs and block. Corners adn linebackers and safeties can rush the passer. Just saying... the criteria was a bit broad.

Doesn’t this encapsulate every position but kicker?

I understand you don't think he was. I don't know that Borgonzi doesnt think he was. And it was close. It's not like Carter had a fantastic year.

He's pretty adament its BPA over need. You don't reach for need over BPA. I think that make sense- as you say- particularly with Titans who have such a big need for overall talent.

i think he would say he did. He was also asked what is his best draft memory where they got their guy. He said Cam and .. though that sounds PR.. he said it with a glow of conviction. But I'm just sharing what he's saying. He seems the msot straightforward and honest and confidetn when he talks about their processes
