GLinks Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Lucas Niang, Matt Peart, Jack Driscoll, Josh Jones, Austin Jackson, Ezra Cleveland are the names I’d watch. I’m still not ruling out round one. We know what Kelly is. TNTitans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still not ruling out round one. We know what Kelly is. JR might be hedging his bets a little bit. Where we're picking we're not guaranteed a 1st round caliber OT. He could still pick one in the 1st. I do think it feels less likely now. The other scenario might be that he has a developmental guy in mind with Kelly as a bridge.

Leave him one on one and pray for the QB. Yeah, don't think the plan is to have Kelly at RT for the year. They will be drafting one.

Anything is possible but that's a lot of money to pay a backup or swing man. He's either starting at RT or moving to guard IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the deal has an early out, and also with the projected cap increases going forward, it may not be unreasonable for a swing tackle in future years. Can also trade him later, but he’s not a long term starter by any means. Edited March 17, 2020 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 They should still draft a backup OT fairly early, both to be the heir apparent and swing tackle (or RT and Kelly would move to LT in an emergency). But now it could be day 2 instead of 1. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Yeah I still think we'll draft a tackle in the first two rounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 If he's the starter this year we aren't drafting an RT in round 1. Too many other needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think they go best available player out of whichever EDGE, CB, and OT is there (or trade down). ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 In order to start Kelly at RT the Titans will have to have a power running game, run play action, use a lot of quick passing and Kelly will need help in pass pro, all of which Conklin needed as well. Kelly is def not a quality starting RT but Conklin got overpaid big time. The Titans still need to draft a RT but it's not as crucial as it was without Kelly. enigma, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 The best option is to trade down in the early second and take Lucas Niang. If there is no trade partners, take EDGE and in second CB or RT based on player available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly won’t hold up for a whole season at RT. I’m certain we will be drafting a RT this draft and making a switch at some point.

Thus all in at CB IMO. Maybe edge if one drops but Clowney might be the guy they let Conklin leave for. Having a utility OL like Kelly is a must these days. And he’s probably one of the best in the business at it. Robinson determined the utility position was worth paying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
