When he said it's a one in a million shot, am I the only one that thought he was bragging a bit?

Ayo has great traits. If he could cut the drops and really learn the offense, he'd be a fantastic 2 next to Tate. I think that doesn't happen until next season (barring injuries). But the ideal for the Titans right now is Tate at 1, Ayo at 2, and Robinson in the slot. With Helm as TE. That's a good group, if Ayo develops. Then have Dike be the backup for BOTH Robinson and Ayo.

people say all sorts of stuff during draft times. Once Styles posted at the combine, people thought "Get that guy!". Happens every year. I wanted Tate, and I'm still glad we got him. Obviously, if Bailey had been there...but he wasn't. I think a lot of people around here still think we would have drafted Love if he fell to us. I'm not convinced, but I was prepped for it, since so many mocks had that happening. BTW, I don't see a lot about the Seahawk who ended his season in our joint practice. BOBO or BOLOBO or something like that?

IF Harrell weren't out for the season, would you cut him? In other words, would he have made the roster over one of the above? I'm not sure. I think your list (Martin, Faulk, Femi, Johnson) are the obvious keeps at edge. SO...would we have kept a 5th guy if Harrell hadn't gone down? Maybe. He's a decent player. But he's not a starter on this defense right now. I think we miss him as a guy who could have come in for an injury (via practice squad), but surely we can fill that role. How do I have no idea who Diabate is? He started for us in preseason, and I've never heard of him!

Great win. Only one injury that I know of (non contact...guy jumped out of his knee! Shame). Ummm...next game!

Maybe...it does look more sexy, I guess.

Kind of amazing to think we have a guy this good on our OL, and yet the overall unit can't even reach average. So much wasted draft capital....

Ok, story time. This is all true, BTW. I went on a date with a woman, and on the first date, she told me all this. She had a long term boyfriend, who dumped her in a pretty callous way. As she was spiraling, she met with the ex's mom, who happened to have a booth at the Ren Faire. In the booth, someone was working on a furry costume. She had recently seen a video about furries, so she recognized it and asked about it. The guy said, "Yeah...lots of crossover between furries and the Ren Faire. Anyway, are you curious about it?" She was, but in a kind of intellectual way. Still, she agrees to go to one of the meetings. She befriends all these 20s and 30s aged gay men, who are all furries. They basically make her a den mother (she's in her 40s). And now she helps run their furry events, which includes making sure everyone got tested before the big furry orgies, etc. She even has her own costume and enters contests. She says she doesn't engage in the sex part, maybe because the vast majority are gay men. But that's her scene now. Life comes at you fast...sometimes it comes over and over, while dressed as an animal. And no, I didn't date her again, though not because of that story, which I thought was pretty fascinating.

Ward, of course. But I'll stick to the rookies. I'm looking forward to seeing Tate and Hill out there. I think both will be key parts of this team as rookies, and Hill will be a tackling machine out there. He won't get DROY, but only because that always goes to a pass rusher, it seems. But I think his stats will mean that he should be in the conversation. Tate should be WR 1 from the get, even if Ridley returns to form. I'm actually hoping Ridley DOES look good. Then we'd have that Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith type combo that would make Ward look great. Of course, our offense depends almost completely on whether this OL can improve.

Young and Murray are both taller...by like 2 inches at least. They are also FAR more athletic...oh, and accurate. Pavia does have them beat on self-confidence though! Deluded self-confidence, yes...but he has a LOT of it!

I wanted Bowers so bad in that draft, but TE isn't considered an elite need position. Alas. At least we got a LT...sorry, RT...sorry, possible RG. As for Harrison, I think he'll be fine. It's TC. You can't expect him to catch every ball just because it hits him in his...hands.

If we could find a RT to replace him, I'd be fine with that. I think he'd be a very good RG. I know RT has more value, but we did the same thing with Skoronski. It's not ideal for that high of a pick, but let's just get the best five out there in the best fits.

Vince Young can't afford a bucket of ice. He'll eat some burritos in honor of 2k, if someone can front him the money.

One of my childhood heroes, Jason Becker, is a guitar player who has lived a LONG time with ALS. He's beaten the odds and still makes music. But yeah, it's really unusual to see longer than 5 years once diagnosed, and CJ's progression is shockingly fast already.

Older women are great at HJs. They know what they are doing. Let's be honest Most of the people on this board couldn't do better than Russini
