Grizz Posted Thursday at 04:34 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:34 PM 16 hours ago, Hyperion said: The best case scenario is that the Titans get #1 and then it falls Dolphins at 2, Jets at 3 or 4. The pressure on the Jets GM to jump over Miami for the QB will be absolutely enormous. We will be able to rake them over the coals, especially when you factor in that the Saints, Browns and Raiders will also be interested in trading up for the pick to some degree. Yes, this is what I am hoping for too. There will also be a lot of pressure on the Browns, especially if Shadeur gets in there and looks awful--I like that they have the Jaguars pick. Our defense could be strong if we end up with a pass rusher in the draft, a pass rusher in free agency and a CB in the draft and a CB in free agency (assuming we punt Sneed into the sun). This is actually not implausible if a Jags trade happened. Of course, not sure the Free Agency landscape looks great despite our money. We'd have to unload a significant amount to get Trey Hendrickson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted Thursday at 04:56 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:56 PM There are issues in free agency with the lack of top end talent and a lot of cap space chasing the best guys. This has been discussed here before. Otoh, the bottom end of the Titans roster, maybe guys 25-50, is also very week. It shouldn't be that hard in free agency to improve the depth at the bottom of the roster. For example, I looked at the CB free agent list on Spotrac. There are 35 guys available with 5 years or less of league experience. If Borgonzi also wants to improve CB spots 4-6 (in addition to the top 3 spots) on the depth chart, then it shouldn't be that hard or expensive.

TeamRamrod Posted Thursday at 08:31 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:31 PM The weekly movement of players now that it’s more public is so funny. We went from Bain being the consensus top player in the entire draft to him not being top 5 in like 2 weeks lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted Thursday at 09:49 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:49 PM ^^^Both guys have Reese above Bain as far as BPA goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM Daniel Jeremiah was very strong during a media appearance on the Ringer NFL Show today that the Titans have to not only get Ward a true #1 WR but divert a lot of their resources towards the Offensive side of the ball and building around Ward. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did draft some offensive weapons for him. Would having an inferior defense not put more pressure on Ward? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on track to be the lowest scoring offense in 14yrs not sure why there is such reluctance to try and help Ward. Yes the defense needs a massive talent infusion as well but you know what would really suck if they ruin the #1 overall pick QB they just drafted because they didn't get enough talent around him.

That's the foundation. They need a competient HC to complete the trifecta. As I posted before, they have 7 starting holes (not counting upgrades) in the starting lineup....RG, WR, RB, DL (Day is a FA), OLb, 2 CBs. Maybe 8 spots if you want to go with 2 WRs. They have 3 day 1 or 2 picks, maybe more if there is a trade down. It's possible they get a immediate starter at the top of the 4th. Borgonzi needs to find 3-4 day 1 starters in free agency. Not impossible. Plenty of cap space for that and to upgrade roster depth. They might have to overpay for the starters.

Would having an inferior defense not put more pressure on Ward? All of it really builds on itself. I'd argue the defense is just as critical for Ward's development. The defense can't get off the field which means the offense is on the sidelines and can never develop a rhythm or play with a lead. When you're bad all these problems snowball and compound. They need an elite receiver and an elite running back but I'd still argue that defense is a bigger problem. OnsideKick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need help in a few places on both sides of the ball, have to keep collecting assets and hitting on draft picks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hey, they have his #1 target from Miami just wasting away on the practice squad... Here's a question: would you rather they get whatever top tier edge rusher they can get with their first pick (Bain, Faulk) and grab a receiver in the second like Denzel Boston or Chrs Bell? Or would you prefer they go after Tyson or Tate with the 1st pick and go after an edge like Overton, Parker, or Sutton in the 2nd? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made it clear that I'm not touching a WR in the top 5 of this draft so its either trade back or EDGE for me where this first round pick is likely to fall.
