    #1. You don't draft players to counteract what teams in your division are doing. You draft the player you feel is the best and best for the team.

    #2. Our shoddy inside linebackers helped us to the #2 run defense in the NFL last year. I'm hardly panicking to draft an ILB with the sole purpose in mind to stop Trent Richardson.

    Watson is not a #1 NFL QB and the Texans don't have a 1st or 2nd round pick next season.. they traded one away to get a QB, and traded the other away to get rid of a QB

    Fournette is solid but doesn't terrify me in the Jacksonville offense

    Hooker was a nice value pick at 15

    Won't argue fournette's abilities or talents but I think our shoddy secondary is the prime reason for our "#2 run defense". Our run defense isn't terrible, but if teams can pass all day, why run?

    Still 12th in yards per rush attempt. The run defense is fine all I'm saying. Whether there is a correlation or not.... potentially but it's covering we struggle with as you mentioned.

    Watson can have the same impact Mariflota had on the Titans, plus they already have an elite Defense. That's a very dangerous combination. Not only do the Texans have offensive playmakers across the board, but now a mobile QB who can use his legs when the play breaks down, big trouble.

    Excellent pick for them in my opinion, I wanted them to get Mahomes, because he sucks.

    Jags: All well and good they got a top running back in Fournette but the rest of their offense is hot garbage. Their O-line was already terrible and then they added 32 year old Branden Albert at LT coming off the worst year of his career. Bortles is going to get destroyed and Cyprien, et al. will be swarming Fournette in the backfield regularly.

    Colts: Hooker is a quality player but he cant do everything. That Defense is average at best and our offense should have its way with that D-line.

    Texans: Deshaun Watson is a rookie. Period.

    Any way you look at it, the Titans are built to win the division this year.

    You're forgetting that 3 of their 5 O-linemen rank in the bottom 10% of the league. That is bad, bad. Also Fuller and Braxton Miller didn't really do squat last year.

    They have Hopkins. That's it.
