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

Weak sauce.

If we are waiting to see what happens on the field why not shut down the forum? What's the point in even having a place to discuss the titans then?

 

Its easy to be a DW ... I could sit here and predict every 1st and 2nd round pick to be a bust, and I would probably be right on more than 50% of those predictions because the fact of the matter is, most players won't live up to their expectations.

But that doesn't mean I know sh*t about football or evaluating players.

 

As a ball carrier, your job is to avoid guys that are trying to tackle you. It's kind of the point. If you can't avoid them, you steamroll them.

 

Dude...Sankey ran a 4.49 at the combine....Henry ran an unofficial 4.47 and a 4.54 official. Know your stats before you come on here acting like Sankey is blazing or something lol.....Sankey sucks ballz...much like your thoughts and posts.

 

Okay first of all....no man should ever say "Weak sauce"...lol....I am saying that you can't judge the kid when you haven't seen him play at this level yet...Just like all of the others....Sure, go ahead and voice your opinions...It's a forum..but you are acting like people are nuts to think he could be good. If anything, his numbers prove it despite your belief. I don't think he will be "Amazing" per say...but could be nasty next to Murray and Co.

 

I've never even said he would be bad lol

 

You call those guys specialists?

 

If your trying to place bets that he won't be a top rookie RB..In essence, isn't that what you are implying? lol....Seems pretty cut and dry to me...

 

If you really can't tell the difference I feel bad for you.

I question the value of taking Henry in the 2nd round when we could've drafted two backs later. I also like the rbs in next years draft much better. But I don't think Henry will be a bad rb, he could/should have a good career as long as he avoids becoming lazy now that he gets paid.


Not a stretch to suggest a latter round back ends up having a better season as open as rb jobs are across the league. And Henry is likely in the lesser role of a timeshare this season... Which goes back to the value (or lack of) in taking a rb as high as we did.

 

Hey I can't argue the RB thing...Especially after we swung and missed with Sankey, but that's my point...Sankey was a reach then and didn't have the numbers...This kid does, so give him that credit and wait to see. As for taking backs next year...EVERY damn year I am on here people say next year is better....Feel bad for me? Dude we have 1 starting caliber back...1......and even he is coming off of an average year with the Birds...They didn't have much of a choice other than to take a back with their 3rd second rounder....Sure, some guys were on the board then...but not guaranteed starters or players with the numbers he possessed...plain and simple. I am not a die hard Henry fan, but I get it....I wouldn't have felt good with the RB's we had behind them...and taking a flyer in the 5th and just "Expecting" those guys to fall, wouldn't have been smart...Easy for us to sit here and play Monday Morning QB
