It's all over YT. 2025 was a somewhat wasted year. The priority is develop the QB. Now Cam will have the third coach in his ear to start his second season. Cam's one who if anybody can deal with change, but this is still the NFL. QB's are fragile. Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would put him at the like 34th in the the league last year for all qualifying WR ( i think its 33+ catches). There's at least 96 "starters" at the position. There is a receiver that will be available in this draft, whose name I hesitate to recall at the moment, who had a 4.9 YAC average over 3 years. It dipped from the previous two year average of 5.25 due to more of a seemingly downfield focus in his role. Callidus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 One thing about this dude, especially if we draft him, he HAS to get it out of his mind that he's an astronaut and keep his fucking feet on the ground. Seems like he tried to leap a guy 4 or 5 times against Miami alone. It's exciting to see him hurdle a guy, but he opens himself up for serious injury the way he does that shit so much. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 15 hours ago, Hyperion said: We've had plenty of experience in the top ten of the draft, nine times since they've been in Nashville. The only time they moved down was the year after Mariota when they had the luxury of the first overall pick. In all those years plenty of fans were saying trade back as if that's easy to do. Hell even last year people were wanting to trade back instead of taking a potential franchise quarterback. It's a foolish thing to expect when you're passing up on quite possibly the top player on your board. Again thanks! No one has ever pointed this out before. You're RIGHt thought - to trade down, you need someone that wants to trade up. Hyperion, and japan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 (edited) FWIW Schefter on Get Up just now said Sonny Styles is "in play" for the Titans at #4 and the Giants at #5. Earlier in the show Schefter also said Love is "in play" for the Titans at #4 and Giants at #5 but he expects both teams to go defense and the Commanders is a more likely landing spot for Love.

japan Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 (edited) 10 hours ago, IsntLifeFunny said: AJ Green was a dominant #1 in a high octane offense that asked him to beat coverage. That was never in his career asked if Tate. Any idea they're similar prospects is ridiculous. Traits that project are real. Tate would be a fine pick if he works out. Yet, he never dominated and isn't close to these prospects, which was your point from many pages ago. I thought the advent of all of the weird AJ Green talk was humorous, but are people really trying to say that Tate is comparable to Green? (And don't even mention Julio who was even better and went later...) Laughable. Edited April 14 by japan Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Schefter also seems to be steering towards the Jets taking David Bailey at #2. titanskick8851, and Supernope 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryBoats Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 ILB seems like such an irrelevant position now. Say what you will about the positional value of RBs, but those guys are actually good. I doubt anyone could name 5 good ILBs in the league right now. Pragidealist, and japan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legaltitan Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 (edited) Nobody is saying anything close to these things about Tate. BR on AJ Green as a prospect: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/581473-aj-green-2011-nfl-draft-scouting-report Summary: "Green’s combination of size and strength remind many, us included, of former Miami Hurricane Andre Johnson. Johnson was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. A.J. Green could hear his name called even earlier. Few rookies will have the opportunity to contribute as quickly as Green, and perhaps no player in this draft is better suited to play in the NFL immediately." From Walter Football: "Unlike most college receivers, Green did his work in a pro offense gaining experience running the route tree. Coupled with his combination of size and speed, it is easy to see why he is considered an immediate impact player and the best prospect at the position in the past couple of years. Player Comparison: Larry Fitzgerald. In terms of height, weight, speed and overall talent, this comparison makes the most sense. Both of them have the ability to gain possession of the football in a fight for it. Green will have to add a little bulk before he can expect to be as productive and successful as Fitzgerald in the NFL." From the New York Times: 1. A.J. Green, Georgia (6-3, 211) Green is the first player in many years whose name I would place in the same sentence as Randy Moss and draw legitimate comparisons. Green has the sudden speed and quickness that you don’t see often from a man of his height. He’s a very fluid athlete with great leaping ability, which enables him to adjust to the ball in the air with a rare flexibility. He makes over-the-shoulder catches, one-handed leaping catches — you name the type of catch and he’ll make it. However, all of these skills aren’t solely because of his athleticism. If it were, Calvin Johnson would be a better receiver than Moss (and with the right quarterback, he could compete on that level if he stays healthy). Green is a player I compare to Moss because he has the same special ball-tracking skills; the ability to adjust to the ball in tight coverage; and the fantastic concentration to make plays look easier than they really are. Green’s “late hands” are one reason: the ability to track the ball with his eyes and wait until the last second to bring his hands to meet the football. This gives Green an advantage in tight coverage on deep passes. Many athletes run faster than Green, but he has more functional speed than most. It’s one thing to run fast in a straight line, but few can play football close to their top speed. We often see that kind of trait in All-Pro players. Green also has deceptive strength, especially against press coverage; he uses his hands and arms very well to eliminate being held up in his release. Green is the best receiver I have seen this year, and his promise is as great as those of Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson in their draft years.
