The quickest way for a GM to get fired is to pick who the fans want. Levis was a terrible pick but a GM can't listen to fans on who to pick.

I'm not saying that. Yes hooker is recovering but he was much better that mayo and he could learn and heal behind RT and Willis. Or they could've gone and got the Biletnikov winner. Everyone would've been behind that pick.

I just love it when the camera pans to the fans after a pick is made in the draft and they are going apeshit over a tight end from South Dakota State none of them have ever heard of.

Both that and the front office high fiving themselves like they just made a genius pick every single time makes me laugh.

I’ll never give up rooting for the Titans, it’s too hard for me to get invested in any other teams. I am really disappointed in our draft picks yesterday, not necessarily for drafting Levis, but for giving up draft picks for him knowing he would have been available at 41, and then drafting a guy who literally only has one ACL, and no WR’s. I hope we have a plan to get some WR’s in FA or trade for one and at least next year we will have 100+ million to spend salary cap wise. And hey, at least tickets will be cheap next year 😂

Yea, criticizing them for taking a bad player is one thing. But criticizing them just for taking a UK player doesn’t make sense. Teams should take any players they think will help them. I’m not a Titans fan btw.

That's obvious by your post!

Come to the Miami dolphins. You'll still get to experience disappointment but more latinas 👍

I would not think highly of a GM that did. No backbone and no vision.

Just like a CFB HC that bent to the fans on which QB to play. He's the one making millions, swim or drown. No need to micromanage your own HC or GM. Let em do the job he was hired for.

I hate every SEC rival with a passion. But I do realize pro teams draft players from all over. I didn't like the Levis pick at all but loved it when they drafted Derrick Henry and A J Brown etc. I just hope it all works out . Be curious once training camps happen and teams start making further cuts , if maybe the Titans can pick up a few good players that way. By the way, where did Jalen Ramsey go?

When they first moved here, my grandad took me to see them when they still played at Vanderbilts stadium and me and dad always made it a point to watch them when we got home from church. Plus, they are the home state team which I always root for, given the choice.

I've driven by the stadium, never been to a game. . . the only reason I was a fan was home state name. I don't have any sort of emotional attachment of memories to the team. Makes it easy to follow another team. I won't be rooting against them, just more indifferent to how they do.

I think that brings the total up to 10 draft picks the last 2 years for Heupel (might be wrong). Pretty good for Tennessee. Starting to grow in that area again like it used to be

Yep…. Heupel has done an amazing job… I bet the overwhelming majority of the guys wouldn’t have been drafted if we had hired a different coach.

Some **** NFL franchise should say screw it and give all control of draft picks to its season ticket holders. Let them vote on the picks and that be it. That would show fans real quick that maybe, just maybe, they aren’t as smart as they think they are about these things 😂

Or, those fans band together and get the assistance of Sally (ChatGPT) and they draft the greatest class of all time. In all seriousness, it won’t be long until AI/ML is more heavily used in the process to scout, draft and sign players too. Data is already a tool that scouts use, but it won’t be that long until AI can give them even more data and even analysis on technique, skills, etc.

I know why I didn’t…
1. They were the Houston Oilers
2. Hated mercenary teams…. They will eventually leave Tennessee if we don’t give them what they want
3. Thought the name they ended up picking was stupid
4. Kept that horrible color scheme/trash uniforms

It feels good not to be a Titans fan!!!
