Shoot unless you find Nick Emmanwori falls into Day 2, I don’t think I’m spending any draft capital at the position. With the free agents available you can easily get your S2 and S3 in free agency for relatively cheap. If they draft Cam Ward, they should re-sign Quandre Diggs seeing as he is Ward’s cousin and would be a good mentor to help get Ward use to NFL life.

Just depends on how that Lisfranc injury is healing for an old guy who needs to retain some speed as a DB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmcnair22 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 My friend is a Raiders fan and he said Ziegler was just carrying out McDaniels plan. Said he wanted to trade up for Stroud but report is that McDaniels vetoed it. titanskick8851, IsntLifeFunny, and tgo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need him to be S4 and be a good locker room presence. Won’t cost much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Jones seems more like a vet backup if they draft Ward. I don’t think they can sign him to just be the starter even as a bridge guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRamrod Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) I just hope Ziegler and McKenzie aren’t being forced on Borgonzi. I don’t think they would be but he doesn’t really have much of a personal connection to either of them right? And we had reports and/or guesses of both guys being added before the ink was even dry with The CyBorg. Edited January 27 by TeamRamrod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) Good. Keep adding brains to the front office. More perspectives from experienced front office people can only help. The Titans have needed some new people in there for a while. Edited January 28 by Justafan Number9, No1TitansFan, and freakingeek 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckenzie seems like a Brinker hire mostly for Brinker's sake - get a well versed guy in as a an advisor that really isn't going to cause any power dynamic issues. Also doesn't hurt that there's some GB connections & McKenzie is from Knoxville. Obviously, thus far, Brinker doesn't seem like the type that'd just roll over and capitulate to RM. I also have a hard time believing that they forced Botgonzi to hire a direct report in Ziegler that he didn't want that there's also some crossover with without his complete buy-in. Impossible, no. Is it the Titans, yes. Just seems far fetched. Edit: my typo of BOTgonzi? Edited January 27 by Strunk'sDessert TeamRamrod 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaOiler Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 17 hours ago, Starkiller said: Every GM has assistants below him in the front office. That’s like saying “why do generals need all these colonels and majors”? Well, when there are 44 four-star generals, it might be a valid question.

Popular Post AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 27 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27 Tennessee Titans’ hires The Tennessee Titans held off a late surge to land assistant GM Dave Zielger over the weekend. For a while, amid all the moving parts that go into carousel season, Zielger’s name was attached to Mike Borgonzi’s candidacy for general manager jobs—these sorts of arrangements are pretty common among coaches and execs in planning for the possibility of landing jobs. But at the 11th hour, Mougey, who spent four years with Ziegler in Denver during the Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning eras, checked in on his old buddy. In the end, Ziegler decided to push his deal with the Titans over the goal line. In doing so, I think he affirmed some things that Tennessee tried to establish in introducing Borgonzi as GM last week. First, while president of football operations Chad Brinker retains contractual final say over the 53-man roster, the Titans emphasized Borgonzi will run all facets of roster building. “I will pick the players,” he said. And Ziegler’s decision makes it two guys who know Brinker well, who trust it’ll be that way—since Ziegler chose not to pursue a No. 2 job in New York, presuming that’s what his job in Nashville will be. Second, that a guy with options, who’d been a GM, joined up is, I think, an endorsement of the new-fangled model here. The idea is for Brinker to free guys such as Borgonzi and Ziegler up to be GM and assistant GM in a more traditional way, where they can focus on putting the team together, and Brinker can focus on the overall operation. I like it, and really believe you have three guys there now capable of being GMs, with a promising young coach I think will grow with more support in 2025. https://www.si.com/nfl/conference-championship-nfl-takeaways-chiefs-eagles-mahomes-sirianni-coach-carousel#_paiedonwp GLinks, titanskick8851, Supdawg, and 9 others 9 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
