And he routinely bases his draft grades on filling needs rather than just player quality. Yeah but that’s an easy one. Just take two second to Google Jackson and see he only played 3 games. Too much to ask for a guy getting paid millions to cover a sport I guess. Number9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that they are trying to get elite players who fell for some reason and I applaud the strategy. I'm just not sure if I agree when so many other teams saw the same things the Titans saw and said pass. Having said that, I don't have access to the information the Titans do. I have to believe that they did their due diligence or this was simply an unacceptable risk. Only time will tell. I'm not real excited about this draft. I think there is potential here and we are definitely better on defense but we missed on a lot of talented players who could have helped to grab guys I had never heard of and while I'm no scout and I've been too busy to really do my homework this year, some of these picks just don't sit well with me. Hope I'm really wrong. The only reasonable conclusion is that they did their due diligence, got tons of medical input from their staff, and decided his health condition is something that won't meaningfully impact his career going forward. I have the utmost confidence in their process. Where things get sketchy is that you can do all of that and still end up being wrong. It's a roll of the dice either way.

Just because they did their due diligence and still drafted him doesn’t mean that he still isn’t a risk medically. It just means they were willing to take that risk due to his high level of talent. I remain concerned. That said, his ability is undeniable if he can stay healthy. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted May 2, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 No one has a fucking clue whether the actual players selected will turn out or not, the GMs don't even know. If you're in here talking as if you're a scout and giving your opinion on the Xs and Os then LOL All we can really go by is what they are trying to do and the strategy involved in building the roster. In that aspect I think Robinson is doing very well. tgo, japan, GLinks, and 9 others 8 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Regarding Farley: The Titans have a franchise QB who is in his prime and that makes them super bowl contenders for a few years. But....they are behind a few teams( Bills, Chiefs, Bucs) in the chase. They need a difference maker to help them pass these teams. They hope Farley is that guy and they are willing to assume the medical risk he brings. As I said before, the guy is likely to be either a home run or a strikeout.

TampaTitan Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 What concerns me about the WR position and how we handled it is last season we saw plenty of games where Brown was mostly invisible. Fortunately we had someone the caliber of Davis to pick up the slack. Can Reynolds be good enough to do that whenever teams erase Brown? There's no way to know until the real games start and by then it's likely too late to find another guy to make that sort of impact. This is why I wanted someone like Elijah Moore. He and Reynolds probably could've easily shouldered the load in those scenarios. Mythos27, GLinks, and titantim 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the utmost confidence in their process. This is ideally how it should be and hopefully that is what happened. But I think it's fair not to have the utmost confidence in their process given how wrong they were with Wilson and Dodd.

JT2000 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, IsntLifeFunny said: I stopped reading at Adoree Jackson gave us a lot of snaps last year. He played 3 games and was awful in every one of them. Kiper's bias shows even in the listing of needs to be adding the draft and he stars with WR. This team's problems were much more on defense and OL. Not saying that we can't use more help at WR but when you start with WR as the primary focus then guess what the grade will be?

GOAT9 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I give it a B. Liked all of the picks except for the Georgia LB and that we didnt get a TE. Freiermuth and Long were off the board but we still could of gotten a decent TE with that 3rd pick. Overall I think it was a solid draft and the lackluster in the overall team right now is just paying for the bad draft last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'd give it a B+ on paper. Considering our needs: A- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariel Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I hate what Jrob did in the 3rd,we could draft Amari Rodgers but we trade down and get a extra 4,we reach in Monty Rice and instead of using that extra 4 to get someone like Amon-Ra St Brown,we trade up to reach again with Dez fitzpatrick(?,kid will be 24 in december and have just average production at college) TNTitans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that though I would counter that the Wilson fiasco wasn't health related at all and the Dodd issue was more a lack of heart than the injury itself. Doesn't really matter though, it was a huge risk though I think it was a good one to take. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
