    For all of the younger guys on this board, let me hip you to some Titans\Oilers history...check the 1991 draft...the Oilers drafted an entire secondary....they traded there 1 for multiple picks....you might know some of these names...Marcus Robertson, Steve Jackson, Darryl Lewis....all starters multiple years...Lewis and Robertson were pro bowlers....Mike Dumas, was the highest pick a safety, and he never could crack the line up, because Robertson, a lower round pick was better....it has happened before and it could happen in some form or fashion this year

    I miss some of those guys. What a team those early 90's Oilers were? Good defense, great offense.....I hate Buffalo.

    So what you're saying is we trade back, pick up a 2, while hooker/Adams fall to us. Then with our next 1st and 2nd we draft 2 of lattimore/Wilson/Conley/Jackson/whoever else could fall?:p

    I still say the greatest team I have ever seen this organization have was the 93 team that rattled off 11 wins in a row, only to have to face the greatest quarterback in the history of the sport and lose in the divisional round

    Ya. Wish the 49ers had kept him. Although I see that young replacement worked out well too.

    Yes, it would have been nice for Joe to stay with the niners, but Young was MVP of the league, hard to replace that guy no matter who he is

    And the Bucs practically gave Young to the 49ers, as they had the #1 pick and were in love with Vinny... Ray Perkins could never develop him...

    Hindsight says how bad that move was but, with the 49ers, Young got Rice, Taylor, Brent Jones, Craig then Watters, and Tom Rathman. Pretty good group.
    If he had stayed in TB, Mark Carrier was a good WR but that was about the end of the talent. Reggie Cobb maybe? Gary Anderson (RB style) maybe? Plus Vinny would have had a different story and maybe never have his awesome 35 INT year.

    Robinson can get 2 solid starters with pro bowl potential in the first 18 picks. He'll get Adams and another Day 1 starter in the first by my estimation.

    The funny thing about this is the story where a lot of people feel Watson will pull a Eli Manning and has made it known he does NOT want to play for the Browns. I'll see if I can find that article.
