Jonboy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Sounds like you're reaching. If we bring them in for a visit, which there's still time to do, then maybe. But right now, the guys we've worked out are 2nd round or later guys. Reaching on what? I was just posting the facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Reaching on what? I was just posting the facts. Reaching to believe that the fact that we haven't brought them in for a visit yet doesn't mean anything. There's still time to bring them in though but unless we do, I don't think we're interested at 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Reaching on what? I was just posting the facts. I would be pretty surprised if the Titans drafted a quarterback that they didn't bring in for interviews or privately work out. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) And when it comes to Webster and Whis being at Bridgewater's pro day.... keep in mind that Louisville is only a 2 - 2.5hr drive from Nashville. No idea if you could get a flight that short of a distance or not. Edited April 8, 2014 by reo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still time to bring them in though but unless we do, I don't think we're interested at 11. Where did I say it doesn't mean anything? You asked if we had brought them in for a private workout and I just answered your question. I would be pretty surprised if the Titans drafted a quarterback that they didn't bring in for interviews or privately work out. If they're truly interested in any of the top guys, I would think they'd want to keep that somewhat under wraps. And we still don't know for sure that they haven't had any of them in for private workouts. In terms of our "30-player limit," that number is still quite small from what I'm seeing.

If we truly "don't know" we can't presume anything either way. To that extent we can't assume they're "keeping it under wraps" and therefore are more likely to draft one because we haven't seen any information. But why would we not find out? We've heard about other quarterback prospects. Besides, it's in the best interest of agents to put that information out there - the Titans aren't disclosing any of these visits anyways. The agent is the one trying to put out as many team visits as possible so it looks like there's a strong demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent is the one trying to put out as many team visits as possible so it looks like there's a strong demand. It's possible (likely) I'm reading way too much into it, but the information I've been able to obtain about our interest in the top QBs has all come through somewhat untraditional means. Bortles just popped up on the Walter Football list with no mention from Wyatt (for a while) or anyone else in the media. I also never saw anyone mention that Ruston and Whiz were at Bridgewater's Pro Day until the photo of them showed up (random tweet I think?). Wyatt's mention of us meeting with Bortles, Manziel, and Bridgewater at the combine appeared almost as a footnote in his article about Locker being ahead of schedule. Now, perhaps he's prioritizing in terms of who he thinks the Titans are really interested in (2nd tier QBs) and that's what he's choosing to focus on them instead. Just remember, a few short weeks ago, the media was consistently downplaying the notion that the Titans would be interested in a QB at all. Come now... we all know you're hoping we're very interested in Bridgewater at 11. I'm not sure how that relates to our specific discussion here. Of course I'm hoping we're interested in him. Back to the point, I was just answering your question with factual information. Never did I say it didn't mean something one way or another. I do think we have to consider all the information we have, however. And we must also consider the likelihood that there's information out there we don't have.

Guest Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ruston Webster has never drafted a player in the first two rounds that he didn't bring in for a pre draft visit. JLocker10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 What Jonboy said. While I think it's likely we bring in our first round pick for a visit, it's not necessarily the case. We could have seen all we need to at the Combine meeting. Judging from Bridgewater's time with Chucky, I would say he's one of those guys that you don't need much time to know exactly what you're looking at in terms of a prospect. His game tape and ability to diagram plays could be all we needed to know of him. But, I will admit, this is just me hoping we take him if he's there.

Webster has flat out said that he's not comfortable taking a player in the first or 2nd round without bringing them in. And he's never done it. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 So you guys tell me if I'm missing something. Of our 30 draft visits allowed, here are the players counting toward that so far. QB Jimmy Garoppolo QB Derek Carr RB Tre Mason RB Charles Sims RB Terrance West OL Jawuan James CB Bradley Roby LB Anthony Barr LB Shaquil Barrett DT Timmy Jernigan Of those, I would think the only ones even warranting consideration at 11 would be Carr (ugh), Roby, Barr, or Jernigan. Additional local prospects who may be considered early would only be Jordan Matthews IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
