He isn't nearly the route runner of Brown (right now) but has very similar twitch with his body control. He doesn't have the physicality of Smith, but he also isn't a guy you can just push around all game long. I went hard on Elijah Moore being a slot only in the NFL (I was right) but I feel differently about Zay. He's honestly not my favorite prospect but I think he can hang outside.

titanskick8851 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Posted this in the draft forum but definitely part of the discussion. Just thinking about where the WR group is right now. Regardless of whatever veteran WR they could sign (not including a trade), WR almost assuredly needs to be the pick in the 2nd round as of now. Obviously, they could trade down and acquire more picks, but as we stand today, they cannot afford to wait to the 3rd round to address the position, or risk the same thing happening they year they panic traded up to take Dez Fitzpatrick. It is almost relatively easy to see who they might target basing it off of Carthon/SF WR traits, as well as what the team has preferred at the position. They need to be 6’0+, 195 lbs+ and run a 4.55 or better in the 40 (be within close range of those). Thst essentially leaves us with: Quentin Johnson - TCU Jonathan Mingo - Ole Miss Cedric Tillman - Tennessee A.T. Perry - Wake Forest Rashee Rice - SMU C.J. Johnson - East Carolina Elijah Higgins - Stanford Michael Wilson - Stanford Matt Landers - Arkansas Andrei Iosivas - Princeton Bryce Ford-Wheaton - West Virginia A couple more barely miss it. But if you are trying to find a Titans WR, I believe it will be at least one (if not two) from the list above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 If we came away with 2 of that group , and an inline TE, I'd call it a very successful draft..( plus an olineman or 2 ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but if you have a top ranked one you shouldn’t wait until then with the depth chart looking how it currently is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 4 hours ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: Landers isn’t one of the bigger names being talked about and I don’t put much stock in highlight clips….but I gotta say, Landers’ highlights are as impressive as any of the other WR prospects I’ve watched so far this year. His clips remind me a lot of a young AJ Green: he’s a big lanky guy with great speed and soft hands…but he’s also surprisingly slippery for a guy his size and tough to bring down. Very impressive skill set. His highlights have me intrigued…I’ll have to go back and watch some full-game film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you draft two of those guys, it will be a good investment. Give me Tillman, Rice, Mingo or Wheaton please. All big WRs who are elite athletes.

Omar Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Xavier Hutchinson would look really good in a Titans uniform. Super productive in an offense with limited talent last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cshumak2 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Man the more I get familiar with some of these wr, I am really liking Tank Dell. Dude is just so explosive, even if he doesn't fit the SF size profile. No clue where he is expected to go in the draft, but wouldn't be at all upset if Tennessee came away with him.
