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

Dude, this isn't Madden! Not sure if you're aware, but he is actually human, I'm not sure what you expect of him in that regard. He can actually be tackled by other big people.

But he did score 28 TD's last year. TWENTY EIGHT! I don't think anyone had more scores. You can only ask so much of a single guy... and Alabama asked a lot of him and they went on to win the National Title. I don't know what else you're looking for in a 2nd round RB, but you're not going to find more from anyone in the country at that spot.

 

Oh. You're one of those.

Yeah, I hate the team. I just enjoy torturing myself by being a fan...


orrrrrrrr... I care about the team, thus the reason I'm upset that it continues to be a dumpster fire while adding gasoline every chance possible.



I wish I could be you guys. I really do. YAY! WE DRAFTED GUYS! THEY'LL BE AMAZING CUZ TITANS! YAY!

TITANS R GR8! IT'S OFFSEASON WE WIN SUPER BOWL 4SURE THIS TIME!! YAY! TITANS! DRAFT WUZ GR8! NO BAD TRADES! NO BAD PICKS! JUS LIKE ALL THE OTHER YEARS! YAY NEW GM!

See I honestly want every RB from last year gone. Would've been fine if we drafted two late and hope to hit instead of taking the more sure thing in Derrick Henry in the 2nd. We need so much at other positions. And that RB draft class next year looks sooo good.

 

I also feel that since we just got Murray we really didn't need to invest in another high level RB with a 2nd rounder at this time.

But Erotic Smash Mouth here we come!

 

The point is he got an extra 3 to 4 yards that almost no other back in the country could have ever gotten. If you want a scat back that jukes people out of their shoes, he ain't it. I completely agree with that, and that's fine. We're not asking him to be that. But when you see a Wisconsin LB go in to tackle him, and bounce of his thigh like nothing happened... that's scary to a defense.

Will he translate to the NFL? I have no clue. I sure as hell hope so. But if I did know then I'd probably be making a lot more money than I am now. When I look at him I see ways he could completely succeed. And I see flaws in his game that he could fail at. The real key for him is if he's willing to work hard enough to minimize those flaws, and will coaching bring out his best attributes? That's the key for any of the 253 guys drafted this year. All of them are big, fast and strong. The one's who succeed are the one's who work harder than the others, and their teams work harder as a whole, and they're put in a position to succeed.

But when I turn on his film, and when I saw him play in person, he's an absolute menace to other teams. You could see other teams wear out through the game and just get exhausted of tackling him. Yet he looked completely unfazed. He just kept going like he was completely fresh, despite carrying the rock 30+ times. That's stuff you can't coach and size that you can't find many places.

 

I'm sure the "fit for the future" was very strong with Henry. Wether it pans out is to be seen

 

Yup. Exactly. Because I know this is the Titans and we'll find a way to complete screw everything up and this is the only time of year where I have hope.... Marcus could be the next Joe Montana and Derrick Henry could be the next Earl Campbell, but we'll get them both hurt or in systems that they suck in.

No but really I feel like that sometimes. So please try not to kill this time of the year for me too bad man. You can say "I told you so" all you want here in 4 months, but go easy on all the rest of us who don't feel like throwing in the towel before the fight starts.

And FYI, I still hate the Mularkey signing. I was livid the day they signed him. And still hate it. Robinson I liked, and still do so far, but honestly can't give a full report on him for a few years. But Amy can suck it for that BS farce of a hiring of Mularkey.

 

So falling down is the same as being tackled now? Got it.

 

Hybrid safety-linebackers with good speed and coverage abilities?
Yeah. If you don't like "specialist" pick another name.
They're both a little light for a LBer, yet bigger than the average safety.

Especially considering those two were the best of the bunch in this year's draft, at that height, weight and skill set.

 

Yet I had to tell them to you and you neglect my point of his hand clocked time? You're corny man and a chump at that
