kyle021 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 With Tannehill essentially on a two year deal and no backup QB and Jordan Love being the prototype QB the league is trending toward, would you draft him if he fell to pick 29, and let him backup Tannehill, and groom him for the next two seasons to be that guy when Tannehill is entering his third year which would clear a lot of cap space and we would have a QB who has two years on the bench learning and working on his technique and having full knowledge of the playbook? It could be a total steal if it worked out and a seamless transition. especially if we go out and land Clowney and bring in a vet DL to replace Casey and acquiring a RB and CB in rounds 2&3 with a WR in 5 similar to what we got from Sharpe in the fifth 4 years ago? I would have a hard time being upset if we took Love at pick 29 and groomed him to be the apparent to Tannehill, and keeping the SB window open for years to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshumak2 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Tannehill is on a minimum 3 year deal.....so no Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Tannehill is 99.9% a 3 year deal. The things that would have to happen for the Titans to not have year 3 and eat that much dead money are nearly impossible.

abenjami Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) What is with all these thread titles that are just a guy's name or like 2 words? How hard is it to put a somewhat descriptive title? Edited March 27, 2020 by abenjami SleepingTitan, and DCTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they gave him a lot of solid guaranteed money in years 1-3 to keep the avg/yr reasonable... If he plays like a top 10ish starter, his year 3-4 salary will be very team friendly...

IIRC it's $91M over 3 years. $30M per sounds really high to some people right now but his year 1 cost is less than the tag would have been and his 3 year total will look like very reasonable when it's over. QB salaries are going to skyrocket with the new CBA. ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callidus Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am no scout but can anyone else tell me why they want him? He makes some big plays but come on. If you are looking for a qb you need consistent good ball placement. This guy just throws it upp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Kyle, my problem with this is that if we constantly are thinking of the future, we wont win shit. We were close this year and I would rather pick players who may help us now. We do not have a roster that allows the luxury of this pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was 61 guaranteed with incentives up to 92 or whatever and the third year becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the new league year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I’d be for drafting Eason in round 2 , and developing him..but I seriously doubt he drops that far IowaOiler 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaltitan Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Unless Tannehill completely bombs, we're not going to draft a QBOTF until 2022 at the earliest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleNinja Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd rather not use the 29th pick on a QB. MIKE75, and ChemEngr79 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
