I think our maligned (on VN) blocking at WR and RB positions will help our players in NFL. The highlight reel for Hurd blocking alone would have scouts seeing potential in a pass first NFL.

Good call! Collins has a ton of wiggle and seems like all he needs is half a second of daylight before he hits the hole and takes off.

RB's have more value in the 2-4 rounds in the modern day NFL. Collins is a 2-3 rounder all day.

Well of course. They were on the same field and even shook hands after. Geez.

They had a long conversation and it was noted by the announcers that they were long time friend and Butch was pushing for him to get the NT job. Get your crap straight before making fun of others when in fact you are the one with the idiot comment.

15 yard penalty for joke over head and unsportsmanlike conduct. Forgot I was not in the FF when I read the comment

In the recent past everyone has talked about the RB position not being valued.

All I know is the Titans haven't been relevant unless they get a good RB since being in Nashville.

They've had 2

George

Johnson

About 9 first round DBs in this class, Laremy Tunsil, Treadwell, Tyler Boyd, and Ezekiel Elliot. I think they would all be better picks than Henry.

SIAP...Kerbyson made ESPN's 1st team all-SEC; Evan was 1st team on special teams. No Barnett or Cam or Trevor. Gave Townsend from Florida the honor over Trevor.

They have progressively gotten better since Wisenhunt was fired. Not sure if there is a correlation there, because they are a young group to begin with. It could be just more experience in the league and scheme. Still not where they need to be though.

I am totally in for Henry. Would hope they could drop back in the first and pick up an extra pick. What happens when Lacy is at RB for Aaron Rodgers and the Pack? Same thing here. I like Andrews, but he is no Henry. You need guys that can get the tough yards, block the blitzes, and hold up to the pounding. That's Henry.

Mularkey has experimented more on O-line position changes since taking over and they have improved. They need one more top 2 rounds type guy and a developmental guy with good upside.

I'm not a fan of trading down for more picks. The Titans need difference makers, not just a bunch of dudes, which is basically 95% of the roster already.

The OL looks competent lately, so they can pass on Tunsil. I would pick up someone for the secondary. Either VHIII or Ramsey. They have straight up lost games directly due to piss poor secondary play.

Just curious as to why? Despite my dislike, the Patriots built the most dominant franchise in the NFL using that method.

Titans will botch it and the secondary is a glaring need right now. I wouldn't hate it if they still suck in 2016 and go that route, but the secondary is too much of a liability to pass on two early 1st round guys right now when they will have an opportunity to pick one up.

They need a tackle, guard, and center this year, IMO, unless they think Bell is good enough at LG.

The best scenario IMO would be to trade back and parlay that #2 pick into a RT and a DB, because there are a ton of good corners and safeties this year. Otherwise, you take Laremy Tunsil #2 overall, which is probably a reach.

I'd prefer to see them get a veteran C like they did with Mawae.

Day 2 focus should be on LB and WR, IMO, with maybe taking a flyer on a RB late in the 6th or 7th rounds.

If you look at Jacksonville, they're loaded with young talent at the offense skill positions, but they don't win because they have **** on the OL and defense. Meanwhile, New England plugs in whatever scrub RB they want behind their OL and can't be stopped.

Then in 2017 you've got Chubb, Hurd, Fournette, Cook, and Perine all eligible to come out and all safer picks than Henry, and they'll be running behind a better OL.
