Mercalius Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 FWIW leading up to the Mariota pick, I had a few direct exchanges with Wyatt on Twitter. He was stone-lipped on him being the known pick until literally right before the draft where he eventually pulled the curtains back a bit and hinted he’d likely be our pick. It’s been a decade so the timeline’s a little fuzzy but I’m thinking it wasn’t until a week or two before the draft that he finally started nudging people in that direction. I tried getting anything from him from like ten different angles and he wouldn’t budge lol. Granted this was before he was officially hired by the team and still worked for the Tennessean but he was still very much the mouthpiece for the organization. And he very likely knew Marcus was the intention well before he aired that sentiment publicly. Could it have had something to do with us picking 2nd and not 1st and not wanting to give TB information? Who knows. But I do know that when Marcus was inevitably the pick, Wyatt played coy about it until it was all but common knowledge we were taking him.

But even the Titans state media doesn’t really know everything. They totally shit on Will Levis on their day one draft recap podcast and then the team drafted him the next day Lol I totally forgot about that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRamrod Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 21 minutes ago, tgo said: It's 27.5M this year I believe, but yeah I rather doubt it. But it can't be totally dismissed out of hand. Wyatt clearly wants people to specifically keep an eye out for Cousins. His motive for continuing to put that out there, I'm not certain - could be carrying water for the team Brass, or could really have a feeling that's a possibility and doesn't want fans to be all in on Cam Ward. Hard to say. The roster bonus is already paid as of now though, and Cousins will have to waive his no trade clause and restructure his deal to facilitate any trade. What if it’s actually about Jake Browning? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing we know for sure is Wyatt is not telling us anything that he's not 100% sure the FO doesn't mind getting out.

I wonder if the team is using Wyatt and PK to make the Giants up their potential offer. Between Wyatt/PK and Daniel Jeremiah's continued uncertainty, it has me at least doing a double take. airmcnair22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he was specific on the OTP from this past weekend Yeah, he was coy about how it got there though because of tampering rules etc., but they specifically mentioned Cousins by name - don't remember if Wyatt himself did explicitly or if he lead them into it first. It was super clear this time though - last time it came up I was between whether he was alluding to Cousins vs Browning.

OILERMAN Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 With the Titans current QB room they might need people thinking Cousins is a possibility so teams think the Titans might pass on Ward tgo, titanskick8851, BudsOilers, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AussieTitanFan08 Posted March 19 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19 The most likely explanation is probably that Borgonzi and the Titans simply haven't finished their process yet they still have Ward's pro-day on the 24th and Wyatt confirmed today they have a private workout scheduled with Ward as well. Once those two things are out of the way I would imagine there will be a sit down between Borgonzi/Brinker/McKenzie/Ziegler and they will make the final determination whether Ward is the guy or whether they need to pursue other options with the #1 pick. It would be a major surprise if they passed on taking a QB. OILERMAN, TF_Titan, Starkiller, and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenTitan Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 55 minutes ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: Who knows what Wyatt's motives are but some people here were laughing at him when a couple of months ago he put Latham being shifted to RT on the radar which he ended up being 100% correct about. Also just on Latham during his 3HL appearance today Wyatt said that Latham was never drafted exclusively to be a LT he was just the best option for the position in 2024. Latham getting moved over was def in the cards though even before they did it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

japan Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 2 hours ago, Stevenths78 said: Yeah I agree. I really like him on paper, he’s going to get a great chance here to succeed. That said, if he doesn’t draft the right guy this year or makes the wrong move draft wise, this ship can go sideways quick. There’s a lot of pressure being number one in the draft. I know most liked getting the top pick but truthfully, it’s cursed lol. You have immense pressure to pick the best player, or trade the pick. If you trade the pick & someone great gets drafted where you were, you’re on a hot seat. If you draft the wrong guy at #1, also hotseat. It’s a lose lose scenario being #1 in the draft. You either hit big or you are considered a failure. I’m sure the giants are saying ‘whew, glad we get to pick 3rd. The Titans have all the pressure!’ Dangermode 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure is on Tennessee more than anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
