You joke but it actually does.

 

Mike Tomlin himself said this recently, when they evaluate players to see if they can play G or T they go all the way back to High School.

Latham is big, and as they say, it’ll be $5 cab ride to get around him.. and as someone here said, Coach Papa likes them big.. between Latham, Skoronski gaining 10-15 lbs and Cushenberry , the left side of the line is 20-25 lbs bigger..

I haven’t responded to your bitch ass in years.  But let’s talk about it.  Now, you mfers pretend that Stroud was a sure fire number 2 pick.  How many times have you talked about his S2 score?  Lamar?  Watson?  I say watch the tape.  How many times have you all repped Kolb, Cousins, Mayfield, and Wentz?  Tannehill?  You all make it race….I just say why?  Keep it tape.  Performance…winning.  And now I am the racist for saying let’s not talk about race. I think the youngsters call that gaslighting.   I make you racists uncomfortable.  

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

Pull the receipts. I'll wait. 

 

If you think I've talked up any of those QBs then you are a fucking liar. 

 

You are trying to paint me as someone that hypes up shitty QBs because they're white.

 

Yeah. Again. Pull the receipts. 

 

Wentz , Kolb, Tannehill, Mayfield?

 

Projection indeed.

Kiper Jr put the Titans on his naughty list

 

Tennessee Titans

The pick: OT JC Latham (No. 7)

Let's be clear: I like Latham as a prospect, and he'll be a plug-and-play starter at tackle for the Titans. The problem here is something I talk about a lot -- value. Is this really where Tennessee should take a starting right tackle? Because that's all he played at Alabama. They could have taken an edge rusher or the No. 4 player on my board, wideout Rome Odunze, or they could have traded down a few spots and likely still taken Latham.

 

Yes, offensive line was their biggest need, but this isn't great value. In back-to-back drafts, Tennessee now has taken a right tackle and guard in the top 11. It still has a void at left tackle, too. Now, it sounds like they're going to try Latham there, but it's not lock that he's an above average blindside protector.

lol Kiper

 

First off, suggesting taking an EDGE represents a better "value" pick is awfully rich when the first EDGE didn't go until 15. 

 

Second, suggesting that we could have traded down and still picked Latham is such a stupid trope that is used constantly. Your guy is there until he isn't. There were rumblings that OTs were going to go fast and early, and they did. Farting around to pick up an extra 3rd is awesome in theory, but there is a reason that teams stick and pick when they have their guy available. Shit happens if you let it.

What if they draft Paul at 38 at LT? Could be interesting. 

 

Then the line would be

 

Paul, Skoronski, Cushenberry, Radunz?, Latham

 

Could be interesting.

81.9 overall in 2023

81.7 pass blocking

79.6 run blocking

 

 

Wondering if they still draft Paul in the 2nd and finish their line.

If he’s available I could see them doing that with Paul and making sure they have their bookends. Same with Suamatia since you could put him at RT easily. 

[SleepingTitan]

I'm gonna be honest. Jim Harbaugh is a fucking retard for taking a tackle when he had other more pressing needs. And he didn't even pick the best tackle. 

 

JC Latham -- idk if he can move to LT, but I can say he's more ready for the NFL than Joe Alt. He's also probably better than any other guy on the Titans right now at tackle. So I can't really knock the pick. Gotta trust Bill C on this one. Of course we will never truly know if they had him graded higher than Alt.

I hope it works out. I really do. I'll gladly take an L if it does.

I mentioned it a little bit ago, but if you wanna feel a little more optimistic about it, think about what Bill did with Dawand Jones last year.

Posters always want to trade down. I'm not sure that opportunity was there. Most teams in the end stayed conservative. The first trade was moving up one spot.

Uhhh so you just repeated me.

I liked Jones a lot better as a prospect.

You don’t want that.  I back up what I say….but you started with calling me a racist.  I can ask you to pull the tape…but of course you can’t.  You racists love to label others (projection) without receipts but get in your feels when called on your bullshit.  You are the bitch stalking me calling me names, right?  I only love Blackness, right.  Your pussy ass should prove your point.  I am not responding to your every message, right?  

 

You pussy bitch internet asses have gotten too comfortable with not being punched in the face over the stuff you say.

Would be more confident if Latham was actually playing his CFB position and not transitioning to LT.

Fair enough.
