Titans - Victims of stolen value (Who would you have drafted??)

Okay one thing I'm mad about is since I'm an Auburn fan this hurts. Last year we were 1 pick away from Kenny Irons and this year 2 picks away from Groves. Also why didn't the Titans trade up for Mendenhall? Everyone knew Dallas was taking Jones. Why not move up to 21 and take the RB we wanted?

 

Would of rather drafted Mike Jenkins.

 

As you enjoy saying to all these guys here on this board " like to know how long YOU have been a pro scout or a rep in a front office?...............(crickets chirping)

No excuses stop being a apologist for this ****ed draft.

 

that's to move up 18 spots in the first round, moving into the top ten is always costly. To give a more accurate perspective of moving up in the second round, the Seahawks moved up from 55 overall to 38 for a third rounder and the Jaguars moved from 58 to 52 for a fifth rounder, so we probably could have moved ahead of Philly in the second (from 54 to 46) for a fourth round, which we had three of, and that would have given us Jackson, Sweed, and Kelly to choose from.

 

Nate value is a matter of opinion.

There was great value in the first rd. Merling was there, the top safety in the draft was there and the fourth best corner. Some had us taking a DT with that pick. Well balmer did go late in the first rd and he could have been ours. We had our pick of any WR on the board in rd 1.

As for rd 2 and 3 we still had several corners to choose from. Patrick lee in rd 2 and justin king in the third. Had we not gone RB in rd 1 we could have had charles in rd 2 or slaton in rd 3. There were lots of TEs available in rds 2 and 3 and we smartly got one in rd 3. There were plenty of Wrs still there in both rds 2 and 3.

We had 3 4th rd picks and 2 were tradable if we truly wanted to move up. What would have made more sense using the 124th pick plus a 5th to get hayes or using that 124th pick to move up in the 2nd to get groves?

As it is we had a good draft it is just a tough spot where we were picking but the pats and colts always seem to find good value late so that is never an excuse..

 

The "we should have traded up" theory is nothing more than 20/20 hindsight. Did we have a crystal ball to tell us who Pitt was going to pick.
