TWR Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 16 minutes ago, Nash said: Wouldn't Barmore and Simmons line up as DT's with Tart as a backup..that sure sounds like a change in philosophy to rushing 4 every down.. I think they are both versatile enough to play 3/5T. I don’t think either are the full time Nose but could play there on 3rd down passing situations etc titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that’s over a month old now. Last report was saying that several owners prefer to take the hit now vs spreading it out over a couple of years.

titanskick8851 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 For me my top guys are similar to those stated. Nixon or Barmore would help give Simmons a legit weapon next to him. Hopefully remove some of those double teams he was continually facing. At OLB, thus far from what I’ve watched, Patrick Jones II, Carlos Basham Jr., Jayson Oweh, and Jaelen Phillips would be my first round targets. A lot will depend on what kind of edge they bring in during Free Agency. At ILB, Nick Bolton or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah would be a a great replacement option if we move on from Jayon Brown. Also really like Zaven Collins. He would actually be more of a tweener in the mold of Anthony Barr, but he would be a perfect fit for the role we currently play Landry in with the zone drops we ask. CB and Safety could also be options as well if there are some ballhawking types available. Guys like Jaycee Horn, Trevon Moehrig, or Patrick Surtain II. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m seeing him mocked to us quite a bit and from what I read about him on the Athletic, sounds like a really good fit for us. Seems like he won’t make it to our pick though?

With how awful the Titans 2020 offseason was this team simply can't roll the dice on a guy like Wade who for whatever reason has seen his play absolutely fall off a cliff this year. Give me Elijah Molden in the 3rd if he times well. Link to post Share on other sites
AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Putting the 2022 QB class aside it was already pretty much a certainty 4 QB's (Lawrence/Wilson/Fields/Lance) were going to be taken before the Titans pick at #22, but with what Brugler is hearing from NFL teams it will be interesting to watch what happens with Alabama QB Mac Jones who likely will be the 5th QB drafted. With their cap situation and Big Ben looking pretty much done the Steelers could be absolutely desperate to draft a QB in the 2021 draft the question is will they be aggressive enough to pursue a trade to get one of the top 4 guys or will they be the landing spot for Mac Jones. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Senior Bowl has raised extra money to put the expensive covid measures in place by getting NFL teams to buy their spot at the Senior Bowl. Link to post Share on other sites

AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Will be interesting to see whether the compensatory picks given for teams having minority staff hired away are slotted before or after the comp picks for losing players in FA. This 3rd round comp for the Rams could push the Titans compensatory pick for losing Conklin down 1 slot to pick #101. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Found the information on where these compensatory picks for minority hires fall, they are directly after the 3rd round compensatory picks awarded for players lost in free agency. The good news is the comp pick awarded to the Titans for losing Conklin will stay at pick #100 and the comp picks for minority hires will slot in afterwards. Here is the exact rules from the NFL (i) The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive, or for the next three Drafts if it has two employees hired for both positions. The reference to the hiring of employees into “both positions” could be by the same club or different clubs. The following will apply to the Draft choice compensation: a. Any compensatory Draft picks awarded pursuant to this Policy will be at the end of the third round following all compensatory Draft picks awarded to clubs pursuant to Appendix V of the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement. b. If multiple clubs are awarded compensatory Draft picks pursuant to this Policy, then the order of those picks at the end of the third round will follow the original selection order for that Draft established prior to any trades or other adjustments.
