    Hard to say that it's really "wasting a pick" when you take a chance on a guy in the 6th round.

    I wanted Teddy at #11, and he was the only QB I would've taken in the 1st.

    I feel like there were plenty of positives to be taken away from the game.

    - Mett looked solid (I am still not solid on him as the future)
    - Sankey looked good
    - The OL played well. No false starts, 1 holding penalty, and no sacks. Mett was pretty much upright the whole game.
    - Lewan looks like a stud
    - I liked the way that Horton called the D. He knew how to beat Ben. And Ben, for the most part, had a pretty meh game.
    - I liked, for the most part, the offensive play calling. A few here and there I didn't like. Have to be better at sustaining drives and keeping the ball away from the offense. The D played 79 snaps. That's one of the main reasons Bell beasted in the 2nd half.
    - The 2014 draft class has really played well

    A couple things I didn't like.

    - the Challenge
    - Not going for it on 4th down at midfield right before the final drive
    - Not being able to stop the run. IDK what it is, but we've got to do a better job of our DL taking up space and allow our LBs to float and make tackles. That's the whole point of a 3-4.

    I think we are headed in the right direction. Need another OL bc I don't think Levitre will be here next year. Need a true, OLB pass rusher (not Wimbley) to play opposite of Derrick Morgan. Basically, the majority of our needs are on the defense. Let's see if Whiz and co. can have another solid draft class.

    Did we trade up to get him?

    WASTED TWO PICKS ON A GUY WITH SUCH A PUNCHABLE FACE.

    Okay... so we essentially spent a 6th and 7th on Mett. Harmless.

    The Akeem Ayers trade was a million times worse.

    I think it was on both of them. Mett made a bad throw but that was one of the sloppiest routes I have ever seen run by a WR. I could pick a random high schooler to run a better route.

    Of course it was. This is the Titans we're talking about. Everything they do is awful.

    Just watch. We're going to beat the Giants, Jets and Jaguars. Finish with five wins. Mett will look like he deserves another year. Pick 13th. End up with some obscure lineman. Suck again.

    Hack it up for Hackenberg.

    Zero chance we beat all of those teams. Maybe two. Probably just one. We'll finish 3-13. 4-12 at best.

    Mett might deserve another year. Why blow a top pick on a QB when we could just take Cooper or the top defensive prospect? Then we give Mett the full offseason as the starter and see what happens in 2015.

    I get that everyone wants to win now, but it's not realistic. If we took your rapist boy, he would come in and probably not be any better than Mett. In fact, I bet he's worse.

    Because Zach Mettenberger sucks, that's why.

    At the very best he's going to be Jay Cutler. I can't deal with that.

    Not trying to compare Mett to anyone right now, but Peyton as a rookie was worse than Mett as a rookie.

    So I will not give up on him after three games.

    Mett as a rookie is better than Tom Brady.

    We really need to stop with these comparisons. They serve no purpose.

    Vince Young's numbers were very comparable to McNabb's midway through his rookie year. Didn't mean a thing.
