The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

[95 Vol Alum]

Like the player, hate the value...

No argument but he doesn’t have to be HOF.

 

[Vol8188]

No they don't or they'd be paid and drafted the same...

You’re confusing two things here, intentionally I’ll assume. Salary isn’t always an accurate depiction of your value on the field.

 

[TrueOrange]

The analytics guys will tell you left and right tackles are equally valuable.

But I agree I don’t like this one.

Let’s also be kind of real here: despite what people want to think each offseason as fans, this is most likely a more-than-1-offseason rebuild for this team.

A chunk of the goal of this season is determining if Levis is truly the guy…which also puts a significant focus on this area on the line being the top priority overall because of how catastrophically bad the pass blocking and sacks allowed were last season.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Ya know after thinking about it… top side might be not as high as the penn state guy debatably but the titans aren’t planning on waiting to plug him in. So, I get the pick because he is probably the most ready of the remaining OT’s…

The smart teams aren't picking multiple RTs in the Top 10.....

The Titans on the other hand...

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I think the Falcons take that honor

Yep

Perhaps the problem is your definition of smart. If the numbers tell you high end tackle play on the right is just as important as on the left, then perhaps it’s ignorant not to take RTs high?

 

[bamawriter]

Latham can play left or right, so I'm not bothered by that. My issue is that I think guard is his natural position.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Latham will be your LT they talked about him earlier today on 104.5 and said he could probably play both sides.

 

[Burhead]

Carthon saying he’ll be a LT.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

[Vols4us]

Dad C wanted him. I am 100% good with it. LT is drafted. Moving on.

 

[Vol8188]

Carthon saying he’ll be a LT.

Now I do hate the pick. If the Bama staff wanted him at RT and a Vandy transfer then a freshman at LT, I’ve got a feeling they had good reason for that.

So move him to left? If anything move Skoronski outside to left tackle this year and keep JC at RT.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

HOF is hyperbolic but likely has to be better than Conklin once you factor in positional value....

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Honestly our biggest need was Tackle. It seems we got a good one so I'll take it. Now we need to draft some guys that sell tickets....

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Dad C wanted him. I am 100% good with it. LT is drafted. Moving on.

Same

 

[orangepridenation]

Holy f***ing meh.

I ripped the Bears doing the same thing last year...

The Bears made a great decision. Your thinking is outdated

Wright over Carter was a huge mistake....

 

[Vol423]

Well, I’m partly coping for a pick I didn’t love at first sight, but it’s good to see this.

Did you expect him to come out and say Joe Alt was his top guy after he was drafted before the Titans’s pick and the Titans selected Latham? All teams always say their top pick was the guy they really wanted.

 

[Mullet Vol]

This is why the NFL draft is the most overrated event on earth. Just glad it’s over so sports radio here in Nashville can move on to other topics.

Wright graded out as the 2nd best OT and best of the 1st rounders, I believe.
