titansfan Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I mean we got an extra 4th to salvage that gut punch. But Tremble is the exact tight end we needed. That was a painful miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think they probably would have liked him or Long, but there’s no way to know for sure they wouldn't have traded down anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think they were mostly disappointed that Harris, Etienne, and Williams were already off the board since obviously the plan is to run for 3,500 yards this season and not throw or rush the other team's passer. Would have been nice to get a solid backup for Henry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Have no doubt JRob was caught a little off guard by some of the offensive skill guys that went between picks 54-84 and as he admitted tried to jump up and get a few guys and wasn't able to.

Yup. He blew it. Got good value on that trade down but missed out on the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Why are people so obsessed with analyzing likely targets who were missed because some other team picked them first? this isn't a blind auction, if some other team picks him first then so be it, that's how the draft works.

charleytolar Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 It's OK to let the draft come to you and it may be even better to let more of the draft come to you-- especially in Rounds Two through Four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are only so many guys that fit your needs and your scheme and if you miss on those guys it's hard to get good value and upgrade those positions. Now you're relegated to just taking blind shots in the dark instead of making educated guesses on guys you think can help you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're relegated to just taking blind shots in the dark instead of making educated guesses on guys you think can help you. I just don't see the point in dwelling on it. We're talking about a 3rd round TE here, a position which is notoriously unlikely to contribute much before year 3 or so at the best of times. It's perfectly fine to grade a player as worthy of a particular pick but not worth the trade up cost, not to mention the impossibility of reading the intentions of 31 other GMs to know when to move up to.
