    Sounds like some pretty good reasoning to draft a #1 elite CB prospect of if you ask me......

    Yeah, in that case I'd be looking really hard at VH3 and Eli Apple...

    I thought he was pretty solid. I don't remember him ever being burnt or blown up. He was underrated in Buffalo and I feel like he kinda goes under the radar here. Not saying he's amazing or anything but he's good.

    Kendal Fuller reminds me a bit of Earl Thomas when he came out. Not big enough to be a safety but he reminds me of Thomas with his ball skills and instincts.

    Could be an elite slot cover guy and a good outside CB.

    Fuller was a consensus 1st team ACC player in 2014. Had it not been for the knee injury in September he would be rated as a similar prospect to to VH3. Because of the knee we could get him with our third rd pick.

    Remember his brother was a very good player for us as NB. Kendall is a better prospect than Vince was.

    3rd round sounds about right. I would have zero problem scooping him up there.

    Who is that prospect? You want to draft Hargreaves #1?

    Yes he does! He's a better cover cb than any corner on the team and is a better tackler than every cb except maybe McCourty. He's also a better blitzed than any of our secondary players. We also have the option of moving him around so they can't game plan for him or have him take on their best TE or whomever we want. Excellence, athleticism and versatility make not only the individual matchup better, but allows a lot of creativity in the defense and its play calling! Advantage Defense!

    Even if I give Tunsil the benefit of doubt that he pass blocks at an elite level, he's still a push in the run game. Having both OTs not be good in the power run game hurts our run game and gives defenses two advantages. They know where we can and can't run so they will adjust formation or slant or pinch inside to slow Murray down because we won't be able to run outside well. This will make our play calling more obvious (and less effective) forcing Mariota into more 3rd and longs....which defeats the purpose of investing RB and the ol!!!

    Not to mention it will create another hole at RT in 2-3 years whereas Ramsey could lock down one cb spot for a decade!

    How are these equal?

    You know for a fact that Ramsey is the best Cover Corner and Tackler on the Titans without even playing a down in the NFL?

    In my opinion, Ramsey makes the Titans SCARY over the top, not at Corner.

    when you watch all of Ramsey's highlight videos, and I've seen them all, you notice one thing very quickly: how well of a tackler and how much he was blitzed at FSU. Looks like a great role for a Titan Safety.

    You don't see much Coverage from the "best Cover Corner" in the draft.

    In hindsight, if you watch Eli Apple, Kendall Fuller, VH3, they are all making ball plays in coverage.

    Do I think Ramsey has the skills to play CB? Of course. Do I think his playmaking skills are not being fully maximized by playing him at Corner instead of letting him have the entire field to roam? DEFINITELY. He is a nightmare like Troy Polamalu was, in the run game, in passing lanes, in coverage occasionally, and in the blitz game. The dude just is a magnet to the football. why on earth would we want to put him at Corner and take away his greatest skillset?

    Ramsey is and should be a FREE SAFETY.
