The "put up or shut up" thread

Overall, I'm happy with the draft. I would have liked to see CB address earlier than round 7. I don't think that a TE was the wisest use of a 3 pick, but with Crumpler's injuries last year, I don't want to have to pull some practice squad player to take Crumpler's spot if he goes down.

The Chris Johnson pick addresses 2 needs IMO. WR and RB. Remember John Simon. Now imagine John Simon with 4.2 40 and some moves. Imagine the possibilities with these players
TE - Crumper
RB - White
RB split out - Johnson
WR - JMac/Williams/Jones
WR - Gage

 

I do like the draft but I do think the Titans misfired a bit after round 2

I love the first two picks. But the third I was surprised on the TE. Small schools are also a big risk. Bobby Beatherd was a small school guy but after being successful early in his career drafting small school guys he missed a lot at the end of his career. Which I think ended his career.

It will be interesting. I think receiver was overrated for us I think Davis plays better this year and and Vince is better with Dinger. He will roll out of the pocket a lot more making our receivers tougher to cover.

Now can August get here in a hurry.

 

Good thread idea.

Only thing is, I guess I'll post two. One draft, in thinking that I don't know what picks will come following each pick. Another thinking that I know every pick that is going to occur in the draft. If that didn't make sense, basically we all know now that the Titans could take Mario Manningham in the 3rd round. If I didn't know that for a fact, I would take a wr in the 1st.

1. Chris Johnson TD machine- Didn't want any of the WR's here. Maybe a bit of a reach, but I thought a pick like this could really help the O and ST's. I'm excited.

2. Jason Jones DL - Really like Earl Bennett here, but it's hard to argue that a pass rush isn't more important for this team. Apparently he can rush from inside and out, maybe be a Kevin Carter or Justin Tuck flexable type. Maybe a bit early on this pick too? Again, I'm excited.

3. Andre Caldwell WR - I hope Lavell is a steal, but I'd rather have Caldwell today. Speed, decent size, versatile....just looks like he has a better shot at being better than what we've already got.

4. Red Bryant DT - I like his potential, and he's worth it here especially with our lack of DT depth. But maybe the team plans to use Jones more as a DT....although he wouldn't be used the same as Red. Maybe they think last year's DT pick (Johnson) can offer some size and and still have quicknes at the position.

4. Kellen Davis - TE Doesn't sound like the blocker Stevens is, but sounds like just as much of a potential receiving threat. Supposedly has the room to bulk up, possibly getting him closer to Steven's blocking.

4. Jonathan Goff - LB who I think can play anywhere. Was all over the field when I saw him, and I think he has just as much potential if not more than Keglar to be an OLB of the future.

7. Marcus Monk WR - Maybe a luxury pick? I don't care, I think he has too much potential to let get by here.

I'm definitely not making big complaints about the Titans draft. A few things seem questionable to me, but many of these picks look to have the potential to make the "experts" eat crow.
