Titans Select OT JC Latham, Round 1, 7th Overalll

[SleepingTitan]

This guy pretty much sums it up for Latham. Bill gotta work on some speed stuff with Latham (and you'll see an inside counter that he struggles with). JCL starts at 7:30.

Ya I mentioned that in another post. If he drops 20pounds he maybe gains a step but then does he lose that overwhelming power? And an added step doesn't make him anything close to the rest of the top tackles in this class.

I don't think he would. The guy is a brick shithouse. He has quickness issues but he also has tools like grip strength and length to offset that extra added quickness that Bill can coach up. Honestly if I didn't have such an Olu crush I'd like this pick more.

You are a goddamn mouse.

 

I teach my sons that every interaction between men comes with a threat of violence.  Are you willing to confront me face to face?  Let’s meet at a game in Nashville and record our interaction.  Deal?  I will be attending the first home game.  I know, I know…I will buy your ticket. Deal?

That's how I feel about Troy. It's all hind sight now but if you told me we could have a 3rd or 2nd and Troy vs Latham I would slap you for even suggesting we don't take the pick and Troy lol.

Ya, I have Latham over olu but I wouldn't be as unsure of things with him. At least with Olu we would know he would be serviceable on the left side in pass protection. 

 

And if reports are to be believed over everyone. Which seems impossible to me. Idk what kinda OL witchcraft Callahan does in his spare time but we are on that train now.

This is the correct interpretation. Olu is soft and probably always will be, but he has a skillset that is undeniable. 

 

Latham is taking a swing for the fences if you're putting him at LT. He's an absolute monster of a human being. Correcting his footwork and hand placement will be interesting to watch.

That checks out with my only knock on him. If you ain't quick enough you hold

He will at least for a year. He is not a natural LT. 

 

I'm going to let it be and see how it plays out. It's a terrible pick imo and the idea Latham can move to LT after never playing the position is wild to me. 

He played LT at the premier prep academy under former pro coaching, take a deep breath and let it play out.

He doesn’t look like a fat guy at all.ie he’s already trimmed down from 365 to 346..

I will because of Callahan. The people talking about how we needed to fix LT and then picked an RT with slow feet should probably shut up.

And that's at RT.

When I say brick shithouse I'm saying stout, muscular.

Hopefully we have Peat on the phone.
