Huston Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 8 minutes ago, tgo said: To me this is the big question. Not whether they sign a FA WR, but whether it’s an outside guy or a slot guy. A few guys can do both - Tate, Cobb, etc But Humphries, Brown, Beasley, Williams seem to be more specialized. I agree that's why I think an outside guy needs to be priority but there are only a few guys that fit the bill so Jrob would probably have to overspend to get the right guy. I think they are fine in the slot with the guys coming back from injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are fine in the slot with the guys coming back from injuries. My thinking is that they don’t have any real slot guys on the roster anymore. Tajae and Taywan have been primarily outside guys, along with Davis. Then you couple this with the fact that the top 2 WRs in the draft are outside guys, along with a lot of the better later round guys too, and to me the optimum and most likely avenue in FA is to sign a slot guy since several good ones are available in FA. But I certaunly wouldn’t be terribly surprised if they signed Williams either. Justafan, titanruss, and OILERMAN 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker and does most of his damage when lined up in the slot as well. We have only one consistent outside threat IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a free agent in 2020 anyway and won’t be retained. Edited February 10, 2019 by tgo Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgJoe Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Way too early without knowing what we do in Free Agency, but right now if we go offense in Round 1 my top targets would be Hockenson, Hollywood Brown, Metcalf, or Bradbury.

OILERMAN Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mariota is better between the hash marks and a true slot guy makes the most sense to me. tgo, Omar, SleepingTitan, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryBoats Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Anyone checked out Jalen Hurd? He looks like an impressive prospect to me. A 6'4 receiver who can line up in the backfield and take carries. That seems like something which could be valuable in an innovative offense.

He's too weak in run defense. Chase Winovich is a better choice in the 2nd if we don't sign someone in free agency. Like Winovich a lot, he's got some KVB in him, nonstop motor.

AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 lol at this mock draft just released by The Draft Network, didn't think they could come up with a worse scenario for the Titans than continually picking a CB in the first round, I was wrong, not sure even a GM as bad as Ryan Grigson would make a trade as bad as the one they have in here for us.

AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Had no idea that Irv Smith Jnr was 4.5s 40yd dash quick, really warming to him at 19 should Hockenson already be off the board, below is the Irv Smith Jnr part of the receiver draft primer on SI. Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama With 710 yards last season, Smith broke the Alabama single-season receiving record for his position, which is impressive given the pedigree of tight ends that have gone through Tuscaloosa. He runs a 4.5 40-yard dash, an incredible time for a 241-pound tight end. Playing at a school like Alabama, Smith’s blocking skills are, of course, fundamentally sound. He’s a physical blocker who leverages his hands well at the point of contact. Smith is also a precise route-runner for a tight end, which in today’s NFL, will give him a great advantage. In the high-octane Alabama offense with a quarterback like Tua Tagovailoa, Smith rarely had to make difficult catches. On most of his receptions, he was relatively open. NFL teams will want to see more of him making plays in traffic, since that’ll be his reality at the pro ranks. https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/02/08/nfl-draft-2019-top-wide-receivers-tight-ends-nkeal-harry-marquise-brown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
