Obviously the Titans had their reasons for picking him. I just don't agree. It's easier to get a quality starting RT later than a top tier starting OLB. RT just isn't a premium position.

A 6-7, 350 pound (athletic) mauler is perfect to help out Henry while he continues running over opposing defenses.

RT just isn't a premium position. I would assume if the Titans thought there was a player that made sense they'd have taken him. And I agree on RT. The thing that bothers me is the reports are what a great run blocker he is. Which is more of the same run first mentality that the franchise has had forever. That was also Conklin's strength. So....why not sign Conklin and improve somewhere else in the draft? XAEA12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callidus Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 From watching his highlight tape he looks slow but powerful. But at the same time good at moving on to the 2nd level. Idk how I feel about him titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 @SleepingTitan I said this before the draft started: The media is mistaken on Wilson and are too low on him. You trust some amateur PFF "analyst" more than Jon Fucking Robinson? titanskick8851, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1TitansFan Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 We already had an elite run blocking left side of the line and looks like will soon be elite at it on the right side as well, but on cheap contracts. Do think they're going to need to move up for a corner tomorrow. Wonder if those stories about shopping Corey might have something to them.

siamesedinasour Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Look, Kelly isn't a starting caliber RT, and we needed someone who could take over his spot very soon. We also need a CB, and we will almost assuredly take one in the 2nd. But there are several really good CBs still on the board. Many of us made this point over the last few weeks - there's a dropoff at OT from 1st to 2nd round, but there will be good CBs available in the 2nd. We will spend the next 20 hours calling teams, preparing to trade up if we need to in order to get a good CB. Diggs, Jaylon Johnson, and Kristian Fulton are all still available, and many had them down as 1st round grades. I still won't be shocked if we land one of those three. reo, and rns90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AvgJoe Posted April 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Conklin was butt hurt the Titans declined his option, which they should have, and had an over inflated price and value on himself. His All Pro first season was a joke. He had issues staying healthy. And he could not pass protect without help for shit to an embarrassing degree. He had 2 good/healthy seasons out of 4. That’s not a guy you give a second contract to and it go well. Alcibiades, reo, prometheus, and 5 others 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
