Interesting. There really wasn't any OT on the board that was worth a 1st round pick. Ezra Cleveland was the next off the board in the late 2nd. Could've been Josh Jones who went early third. He had some 1st round hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the digging that @titaninpgh and BTiger did, it makes me more concerned about Vrabel... titaninpgh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people laughed at him for taking Wilson. There were a lot of members of the draft media that had Wilson as a late round 2 or even round 3 prospect. tgo, TNTitans, titaninpgh, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBukafax Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Or this is could be a non-story and the Tackle Vrabel wanted was picked earlier and they’re not stating that in the story to make it look bad?

Nope in that video Yarris said the player was still available and JRob decided to take Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTiger3733 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Josh Jones has turned into a good OT for the Cardinals after a disastrous start. He's developed into what we hope happens with Radunz. TNTitans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley has no business being there. That's actually exactly what has happened with Josh Jones. He was a LT in college, didn't play much his rookie season, his 2nd season he bounced between RG and RT and was a disaster, and this season he's playing well at LT XAEA12, and TNTitans 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big2033 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I think everyone is grasping at straws. There is some sense as to why we made the move based on our performance in the playoffs and against good-to-great teams. We're not good enough to compete with them consistently. Even if it was out of necessity, the style of play we built doesn't equate to many Super Bowl wins unless we get lucky. And now our throwback style is being stopped, Derrick Henry can no longer be superhuman, and we're lacking in WAY too many areas to elevate the passing game. Time to make some drastic changes before we run our way into oblivion. All the holes you guys talk about are insurmountable to fix next to an aging QB and RB. It's starting to look bleak unless our passing game takes over. Edited December 8, 2022 by big2033 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
