With the 45th Pick of the 2016 Draft: Alabama RB Derrick Henry

Ron Jaws live on ESPN right now saying Derrick Henry is his favorite day 2 pick.

 

When Antonio Andrews just isn't bad enough...

 

I think a lot of people want to make the team

Yeah I see what you did there lol...but I'd say you have to exercise caution when just looking at stats only without context. By that I mean we all know the backfield was HISTORICALLY bad last year...we also all know that we went good portion of the season without both of the top 2 starting CBs on the team. By the time the season ended I couldn't even tell you the name of the guys that were lining up.

So my point is last year could have been a freakish year by way of injury. Earlier on in the year the defense was actually quite good. So before I hit the panic button because of the lack of backfield drafted this draft, I'd like to see how the current team look when healthy. Hopefully they stay healthy this year so we can get a true representation of the defense. Not saying not to look to upgrade though. I think you upgrade anyone and everyone ANY CHANCE you get regardless of position.

 

ESPN Sport Science said his closest comparison was Eddie George as well.

 

If henry can be half the back eddie was, it's a good pick.

 

I like Henry, the player, so I dont hate this pick but I am not in love with picking an HB in the second round when we still have a sucking chest wound at outside CB.

LeBeau must see something in Blake that makes him think he can step up and be the guy outside.

 

yeah, Im not down on Henry as a player and a person, the guy can play, I think he'll be a good back for us, and I like the way he talks about winning and he seems like a dedicated dude.

The problem I have, is that we will have a better OLIne, and we already upgraded running back, yet we have journeyman all over our defensive backfield. Jason Mccourty is a 2nd corner on most rosters, and he hasnt been able to stay on the field the last 2 years, the only reason he is thought of as highly as he is, is because he is on the Titans, and we dont have any CB's that could even compete with him for CB1. We had 5 draft picks in the first 2 rounds, and we picked up a Safety from middle tennessee who will not start this year as our only DB pick. It is puzzling to say the least.

It feels like JR drafted best player available straight through the first 3 rounds, at all costs. They removed Tunsil from their board, and removed Jack from the board, and drafted best player available.

That safety seems like a classic Titans draftee that becomes a fan favorite and we are going to prove the doubters wrong, and we are going to be calling for him to start when we are getting torched in October, and he makes 1 good play in November, and hes going to be the starter the next year, and then he just end up getting torched like the rest of them, and then we need to draft DB in the first 2 rounds but we end up getting another olineman and a TE, and we just are the titans.

 

What do you find so erotic about him?

 

Smash mouth.

 

Not saying that I disagree with the point you're trying to make. I'm also not saying I agree with it but I just want to point out...
Words like "believe", "many", and "could" and the complete opposite of the words needed to preface "facts".
What you have here is... thems the opinions kids.
