Former_Fan Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I will be surprised if we don't bring Drake here. Lewis is an absolute non factor running the ball. Henry needs some help to get the running game going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Problem with Drake is that he is on an expiring contract, I don't see JRob trading away draft capital for a guy who could be here for only 8 games, if the Dolphins were willing to do a player for player swap that would make more sense. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted October 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) They’re asking for a 4th. I’d give them a 6th and Dion Lewis.  Of the teams interested - one team has offered a 2020 7th that can become a 6th. Another has offered a late round pick in 2021. Edited October 26, 2019 by tgo Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) If Drake can improve the offense and they can get him under contract what's wrong with a 4th?  Let's be honest, we'd all be happy if whomever the Titans take in the 4th round turns out to be as impactful as Drake. And I'm generally not someone who believes in giving up much value for a RB. But a 4th rounder?   The guy is 25, probably has 3 years of real solid production, maybe before, before the inevitable decline. Of course if they use him like the Titans normally use backs it's 3 years max. But that's another discussion.  Sometimes teams are way too hesitant to give away mid to late round picks.

Titans279 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 4th is a lot for a part time back who will be a FA japan, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) To follow that up, I just took a look at the 2016 draft, where guys have had a full 3 years in this league. How many of those players have been real impact players? Really Dak Prescott is probably the only one. Pharoh Cooper who's become a non-factor and Joe Schobert are the only ones aside from Prescott who have even made a pro bowl and there are no all pros. And Blake Martinez is pretty solid. Several of the guys aren't in the league anymore and you'd have to be a real die hard to have actually heard of most of the others. Sure maybe 3 or 4 of them have become solid players aside from the ones I listed, but the chances of finding a real player of impact at that spot are so much lower than they'd be if you traded for a guy like Drake.

nine Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I wouldn’t be opposed to a 4 as long as they have an agreement in place for a 2-3 year contract extension.   DCTitan, and Bulluck4dmvp 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe a 5th.  We dont have a 2020 4th anyway. Edited October 26, 2019 by tgo GLinks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Jordan Howard went for a 6th, that's about what Drake is worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
