TerryBoats Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 2 hours ago, TerryBoats said: Steve Smith is really high on Jayden Higgins and compares him to Mike Evans Jalen Royals was ranked right after the 1st round WRs by Steve (Golden, Tet, Burden, Egbuka) and will likely be considered at #35. Unlike last year, he didn't give a glowing endorsement of every single WR. He only seems to like Golden, Burden, Egbuka, Royals, and Higgins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Higgins is a nice possession WR but I don't get the hype flaming_thumbtack, and Omar 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 None of the WRs are worth a top 35 pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 suspect a trade back at 35.. also suspect round 2/3 (if a trade back occurs) will be edge and BPA.. Tex in a Can 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF_Titan Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 9 hours ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: But the opportunity cost of busting on a #1 pick QB when there could be significant trade back options that are passed on is much higher than if you bust on a non QB pick taken later in the top 10. What people are missing is the fact that if they trade back for draft capital this year they'll likely have to give up as much...quite possibly more...draft capital next year in order to trade up to get a QB. And there's no guarantee that prospect will be any better than Ward. It really comes down to how afraid are you of busting on the #1 pick this year vs. how confident are you that you can find a franchise QB next year. Personally I think the odds of Ward panning out are at least as good as the chances of an unknown prospect panning out next year.

There are big risks both ways whether you take Ward and he busts or you pass on Ward and can't position yourself in the 2026 draft to get a QB you love.

SARGO24 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Based on what Pickett went for, I wouldn’t be shocked if we are able to send a 5th and Levis for a late 3; or Levis and a 6 for a 4. Levis has shown more in less time than Pickett has and is more talented. Stevenths78 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why any trade down has to be excessive because you'll be even more obviously desperate for a QB next year. It's unlikely the Titans would really get to use the additional draft capital without giving it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely the Titans would really get to use the additional draft capital without giving it up. If one thinks the Titans will be really bad next year (very likely) and that there will be QB's comparable to Ward coming out every year (good potential/some issues), then this isn't nearly the issue the "THEY HAVE TO DRAFT A QB AT 1" pretend it is. All of this comes down to how much they like Ward or someone like Carter and what trade offers are out there to make Borgonzi and Brinker think that way is better. One can justify any of those scenarios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm saying. It just depends on which risk you're more comfortable with. AussieTitanFan08 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
