Titans inquiring with the Bears about trading up for First Overall Pick?

That makes no sense as Nagy took the job after Trubisky was drafted.

 

Nagy took the job because he was offered the job, but what's crazy is that he took Trubisky to the playoffs twice - amazing.

And here we go with the overreaction.... if Carthon isn't calling around to see what it would take he wouldn't be a good GM. if they really like Stroud or Young enough to move up, I say go for it. Jus

Simmons isn't getting traded.

I'm not believing this based on that source but Tannehill is a decent, short term option with complications. If you want a guy and to put something together, you go get him.   There's basica

The idea that the Titans OL would be crappy by default even with the cap savings from moving on from Tannehill is not really based on objective reality. There would be ways to improve the OL and WR rooms in FA and the draft. The improvement of the OL room over this year's mess is not entirely contingent on drafting a LT at pick 11. There are multiple ways to address the OL, starting with a better OL coach.

LOL, most of the time talent trumps coaching, especially at LT.  There is only so many coaching one can do at do to polish an OT turd.  And as noted the WR sucks in FA and I'm assuming another of those high picks will be sent in this effort to trade up.  And they are already out of a 4th rounder this year.

2 points..1)The rumor is that Vrabel really rather have drafted Ridder last year than Willis, and Ridder at least does look like he could be developed , unlike Willis..if anyone has insight into Stroud, it's Vrabel from his buddy Ryan Day..as in what routes does he really like, is he a leader, does he practice or play hurt..

 

2) where did Bongo get the idea we would trade Simmons as part of this deal? It seems more likely now to me..

In one of them he was 8-8.  I hardly think that counts.

 

Regardless, he didn’t get Trubisky against his will.  He could have declined the offer.

Wrong again!  What the fuck do you think "develop a QB" means?  Aside from Mahomes, who is an unbelievable talent, there's nothing.  Hence I question how ideal he is to develop a QB.  I'm sure he, like every OC in the world, can scheme up some easy one read throws for guys....but that's NOT developing, especially if it goes on for years like a Mariota replay.

 

He doesn't get any credit for developing Mahomes? Or being the biggest advocate in the building for trading up for him after working closely with him in the pre draft process?

Every spot on the OL, literally other than center if Ben Jones returns, is realistically upgradeable.

 

And It doesn't take much to upgrade a WR corp of NWI, Chris Conley, and Cody Hollister.

I'm the one that first mentioned this hypothetical, not Bongo, and where I got it was out of my ass!

You literally posted yesterday that the FA OL group sucks in terms of pass blockers.  The WR FA class sucks too.  Add that you would have traded a bunch of 2023 draft capital plus your 2024 #1 so the draft is unlikely to help much....Coaching only does so much when the talent is subpar....Idiot.

I said it doesn't have a ton of great pass blockers. But there are plenty of guys who are average to above average pass blockers and good zone run blockers, which is infinitely better than what we had in that room this year.

Any credit is minimal....And no Veach was the biggest advocate for Mahomes - this was well documented.  The fact you don't know this is hysterical

Especially at LT, most of those guys are taken pretty high.  And really, no OL coach would have been able to mold Daley and Brewer into decent starters.

Hah.

 

"He really liked me, so he gave me the plays they were going to go over the night before," Mahomes said. "Of course I crushed the meeting. I stayed up all night studying those plays."

......Which is why.....wait for it.......Daley and Brewer need to be upgraded! Which can easily be done in a deep FA class.

Deep FA class for LT?  Come on.  That will  also cost money and there will be competition for these guys.
