Some people say they think he can play on the left side, definitely mo money. What do you think about moving up by giving away a 4th and maybe a 6th to get a Tackle in round one if Conklin walks? The 4th as well as the 7th have already been traded. Number9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 JRob has already shown that he can build a playoff team and a legitimate championship contender. Now he he has to show the ability to maintain it year after year....which is a whole separate and possibly even greater challenge. Four years ago, he started a rebuild with tons of draft capital and cap space, which allowed him to add talent and improve the roster very quickly. This offseason will test JRob’s salary cap acumen with several big contracts looming ....and with 28-29 teams drafting ahead of him, finding impact players in the draft becomes an even greater challenge. History has shown the difficulty of maintaining consistently high level of success over a long period. The NFL playoff brackets change every year because so few teams are able to sustain success for more than year or two at a time. JRob accomplished much in his first four years....but the “good to great” mantra isnt just for the players and coaching staff; JRob has to make that same jump.

I'm hesitant about that because we have so many deficits on the roster still. It would really depend on if we can fill those holes in FA, then you consider it. However, my disposition in general is full volume drafting because it is such a crap-shoot. More darts mean more "bullseyes." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaddKarma Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Titans need impact edge to compliment Landry, one maybe two CBs if they let Ryan walk, and a legit #2 RB for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guts Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Early Wish List: Brian Poole - Affordable experienced slot corner to replace Logan Ryan if we lose him to free agency. He put together a nice season for the Jets this past year. Jarran Reed- Enjoyed a breakout season in 2018 with 10.5 sacks, the potential is there. Down year in 2019, could come at an affordable price with high upside as another interior pass rusher. Matthew Judon - Would be the highest priced free agent for us. Has been consistent the past three years, and would be familiar with the defense we run. Would give an experienced full-time vet opposite Landry.

No no no. Trading up for a 1st round right tackle is beyond stupid as it's not an impact position. The end of the 1st round is a prime spot for a starting caliber RT as is the 2nd round.

Titans traded away their original 7th for Reggie Gilbert. Titans got an undisclosed 2020 pick for T. Taylor from the Browns. So perhaps you are right....to be determined what exactly we got.

My bad. I skipped the TT reference and thought the RT trade was being referenced. I sure hope we picked up SOMETHING in the TT trade because he was a costly acquisition.

Has been consistent the past three years, and would be familiar with the defense we run. Would give an experienced full-time vet opposite Landry. I would take a swing at Chris Jones first (if he is available). He is so disruptive up front and would be a perfect fit beside Simmons and Casey. And then try for Reed or Arik Armstead, if that fails. We definitely need to get more pressure from another DE, besides Casey. Add Judon, Dupree or Fowler to play opposite Landry. And then CB’s in FA and the draft. I feel like GB when they drafted CB’s in the first 3 rounds to match up with Minnesota (Moss, Carter, Reed). We need cover corners for Hopkins, Stills and Fuller and Hill, Watkins and Hardmen. At least 2 additional fast cover CB’s are a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need to find a true lockdown corner, which I like for our first pick in the draft. Edited January 21, 2020 by Guts Righteous 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
