This is definitely my favorite Robinson pick he's made since being GM.    He ignored the noise, ignored the bullshit, ignored the win now pressure, and picked the best football player availa

Man like I said before the draft - you take Simmons at 19 and you don't look back and don't dick around trying to trade down. This was the absolute right thing.

So 99% of teams are succumbing to win now pressure (AKA reality) but the Titans are geniuses playing that long game. Ok 

Exactly. 

 

So we're on the same page now ;)

Suh is a close comp for Simmons imo, although Simmons is longer but maybe a little less strong, but still violent. 

He’s a LOT less strong than Suh.

The GM also told the fans a month or so ago that the team needs to find a way to get over the 9-7 hump.  There is a disconnect between what he said and what he did.

You don't think adding elite, top 5 talent, game changing players is a way to get over the 9-7 hump for years to come on a consistent basis year per year?

He strongly implied he wants to get over the hump this year.  We have to find a way....yada, yada, yada.

JRob - "We need to go from good to great, but not this year!  Maybe next year."  LOL!

Not necessarily dumb but either they have a really pressing need on their roster that MUST be filled in the 1st (we don't). Or like, you they're so focused on the upcoming season that they can't see the benefit of taking a higher quality player who needs a red-shirt year. You're disappointed that you won't get the instant starter and I get it but please realize that the guy we got will probably be a top 3 player on the team next year. Casey isn't getting any younger and DL like Simmons don't come around every year and when they do, they don't reach pick 19.

Look, I respect your opinion. You are one of the best posters on the board. (Its a short list). I just struggle with the risk reward of this.

What’s your opinion on why teams so very rarely draft players on day one who won’t play their rookie seasons? Are they dumb? 

How many top 5 ish prospects get into that situation? Due to an injury as late as Feb?

 

It was a rare situation. Like Mythos said, everyone else available was overlooked by all the other GMs before 19 as well.

They weren't going from a good team to a great team by drafting one rookie player either way. 

 

That's not how it works. 

 

You guys may end up singing a different tune when we go out and sign Suh or Urban.
