    I'll wait till the season to draw my conclusion. This was one of the few drafts that were meh to me. Nobody I TRULY wanted as in years past. I want to see what these guys can do at the NFL level..me personally I dont know enough about some of these guys to call it either way

    They obviously didn't throw names on a chalkboard and play darts to pick.

    However, teams miss more then they hit, obviously. Like 230 people get drafted; there are only 32 teams.

    And untill proven otherwise, I'm gonna hold that the last 3 picks sucked.

    Agreed, I think had he not been hampered with the knee injury during the combine/draft process, he would have gone in that 3rd or 4th round range. Played against him in high school, went to OK State with him, and now he's playing for my team in the NFL. Pretty cool how that worked out, but one thing about this guy, he can lay a hit. He's definitely a striker. Some things that he does need to work on. Hoping for big things from him. Very much a vocal leader and plays hard every play. You won't outwork this guy. We have drafted a lot of hard working players. That's a big reason last years draft was such a success. I love this pick and our draft this year.

    What would you like everyone to do? Suck the gms nuts on every pick? I thought that's why it's a message board, and yea these guys being so fast is why they're being picked. Idk about drafting guys who aren't solid tacklers.

    Bottom line:

    The only tool we have as fans is to wait until the season starts THEN make decisions on how good or bad our draft is/was.

    I haven't said any of our picks are good or bad except Wright who I watched all year while watching RG III kill it because I don't have the knowledge or expertise of the scouts and GM's on our team and in the rest of the league.

    Neither do you or this wanna be GM Deuce Wayne who seems to know everything about player evaluation even though he probably hasn't heard of our 4th-6th round picks before today.

    Todd the Titan stop crying about it. You probably loved the Myron rolle pick "character guy" no production, Paul Williams "freakish potential" there's been plenty of flops, don't know why you're calling people out because they don't like the picks

    ESPN has this guy as the 4th rated safety and 100 overall rated player. Seems like great value for the 20th pick in round 6. BTW, Allen was 5th rated safety and 103 overall on the ESPN list.

    yes, because I don't just assume the GM/Coach is always right- I'm a wannabe GM.

    I'm a fan of the game. And like it or not, I'm almost always right on our draft picks.

    Your post is making you look like an idiot.

    Take a look at the last 10-15 years of Titans 2nd and 3rd round picks and get back to me.
