titanfan24 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I just don't get it. He's a nice player, and wouldn't be a horrible pick, but you pick at 10 for a guy with an elite skill. Werner does nothing elite. And he's not an overly big guy either. Just listened to Part one of the podcast and I respect you guys' opinions, but I just don't get it.

reo Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I agree. He's solid but I don't think you pick just a solid player at 10. You've got a chance for a playmaker, a difference maker and imo that's not Werner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshumak2 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have my doubts that he would be the best player available at our 2nd round pick, let alone at #10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiler FANatic Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 You don't win ACC defensive player of the year with just an average skill set. He's the only DE I would even consider taking at #10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 You don't win ACC defensive player of the year with only average skills. He's the only DE I would even consider taking at #10. Past ACC defensive players of the year: Werner Kuechly DaQuan Bowers Derrick Morgan Mark Herzlich Chris Long Gaines Adams D'Qwell Jackson Leroy Hill Darnell Dockett EJ Henderson LeVar Fisher Keith Adams Anthony Poindexter Andre Wadsworth Peter Boulware Marcus Jones Derrick Alexander Derrick Brooks http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/awards/acc-dpoy.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiler FANatic Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think most anyone would be be happy to get someone as good as Derrick Brooks next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Werner is consistent Rushes the passer, defends the run... High motor, great character, and leader... He is a natural... He is a football player... And I would love for him to be a Titan... Plus we usually draft well when we take FSU players... Just sayin... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiler FANatic Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Werner does nothing elite. And he's not an overly big guy either. Werner is 256 pounds with 23.5 career sacks (he dropped 10-15 pounds last season, so he could be bigger if needed) Mingo is 240 pounds with 14 career sacks Ansah is 267 pounds with 4.5 career sacks Jordan is 243 pounds with 14.5 career sacks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRamrod Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's definitely the end with the highest floor. I think the titans board looks like this though 1 Jordan 2 Werner 3 Mingo 4 Ansah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsolegato Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm high on Werner because he is the only defensive end in this class that can come in, start on day one, play all three downs, make an impact rushing the passer effectively, and has a very very low risk of busting. Every other DE has at least one huge red flag. In a draft that generally lacks elite talent, I think it's more important to avoid the red flag than it is to reach for a guy who you think is a huge project and risk at #10.

Jonboy Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 sounds like Derrick Morgan And with the way Morgan graded out last year, I don't see how that's a bad thing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've been a fan of the guy for awhile now. If you listened to the podcast and heard why Notsolegato and Cyrus explained that he'd be a really good pick for us, combined with the bust rate of some of the more dynamic pass-rushers that appear in every draft, I don't know what argument would really sway you that he'd be a great pick at 10. And like Jonboy said above, the comparisons to Morgan after the way he played at the end of last season should in no way be a knock on the guy. If we got a full seasons worth of that type of production from both of our ends, we'd be in a very good position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but is that all you're looking for out of a top 10 pick? It's not all I'm looking for. Maybe mid-late 1st but not top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
