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

Jinx

 

Jesus...easy on me guys lol. I do agree there are some good ones...but Lacy had his weight issues, Inghram took some time, and Yeldon is a question mark even though he had a descent year. T rich was hands down the worst...Still is. I think Henry will be nasty personally, If we give him the space. I'm looking forward to our run game for the first time in forever. I just pray our line can do the job. I liked the Henry pick then, and now.

Henry has enough size to be a decent Tight End if it turns out he can't cut it from behind the QB. He reportedly runs decent routes, has good hands and he blocks well.
And we have Delanie to mentor him.

 

RB turned TE huh.. Has that ever been done at the pro level?

We saw a DE turned TE blow up in our faces. Then we saw a TE try to say he was a WR, but RB ---> TE would have to be a tougher transition than we think.

Then again we do use our backup DE as a FB in goal line so who knows.

 

I agree with you fellars

 

Only a bunch of times.

Raiders have had more success doing it than anyone else...
2-time All-Pro and 2-time Pro Bowler Billy Cannon
2-time All-Pro and 5-time Pro Bowler Todd Christensen
1-time Pro Bowler Ethan Horton

Cannon won the Heisman as a RB, then was an All-Pro and Pro Bowler at both RB (Oilers) and TE (Raiders) in the NFL.

 

It is complete Bs that all reference to a Derrick Henry story must be flooded into a coc-a-may-may thread of informing Titans fans of who was taken in the 2nd round...

 

Change the title to "All Things Derrick Henry"

 

Huh??

Outside of Lacy almost every one of them have been bad to mediocre at best... and Lacy is still on the bubble.

 

I suppose there should be a timeline added to when (if a curse actually exists) it started. Alexander was in 2000 and if that was a curse, sign me up.
With the list dating back to 2000, Yeldon, Lacy, Richardson, Ingram, Coffee, Le'Ron McClain, and then Shaun Alexander, I would argue that Henry should be good for one good season at least. All these guys had at least one pretty solid season except Coffee who retired after one season.
