seen lots of football games not won because lack of ability to gain one yard.... I dont see us having this problem at all this year . Looks like Vrabel going Jeff fisher brand of football with a wrinkle best o line best running back and Qback with an arm he took the best player on his board that met one of his needs
 
I gave the pick a c because he seems like he could be good. He is unpolished and kinda slow till he gets in space. But he seems to read the play well.

My big issue is rt was not what I wanted in the 1st.

I'll admit my initial reaction was wtf. I was expecting gross-Matos or espensa.

But the more I thought about it, the more sense it makes.

1. The kid has obvious big time talent. Jrob likes to swing for the fences with lower half of the round picks. See Simmons last year.

2. I am now convinced that we know Clowney is in the fold.

3. Clearly the staff is ok with the depth we have for slot corner. Either that or we see one tomorrow...

4. It was crazy to think we were going to go into the season with Davis and Kelley and nothing behind them on the right side. That could have been a season killer. And someone is going to get hurt on the line at some point.

Im really expecting a RB in round 2 or 3 now. Our whole season goes to hell if Henry goes down.
 
Flashbacks of taking Chance Warmack.

A big guy that clearly has no knack for football or athletic ability.

Calling bust now so yall can save it and use this later.

Doesn't pass the eye test at all.

As a tackle? Maaaaybe. As a guard? No f'ng way. Edge rushers can skip past this dude with no issue.





Only the Packers made a worse choice in rd 1.


I get taking "best player available"

I get drafting for need.

We did neither.

Pure idiocy.

We'll go ahead and pencil you in for bust on all the other picks as well. Just like every year.
 
Nothing against him as a player. Honestly, have no opinion.

...but I wanted something else. I dreamed that either Fulton or YGM might drop to us and both did. Plus we had a chance at all the people I thought we might take (Gladney, Blacklock, Johnson, Epenensa).

...but I'll wait and see what we take overall. If we get a nice CB and DL/Edge guy today, I'm more okay with this.
 
I completely understand not forcing a pick just because you have a need at a position. One of my biggest pet peeves are Titans fans who comment on Titans Facebook and Twitter things like "We needed a CB!" or "We lost Jurrell Casey, we need D-line!"

With that being said, I have watched as much on Isaiah Wilson as I can find and I am having a hard time with the logic on this pick. If we run the ball on every play, it's a great pick. But man, pass pro is going to be an issue. He has A LOT of trouble with speed rush. They run right around him and he's not fast enough to react to it. He also looks to play way too high. He may need to lose some weight to help him with his speed.

The worst part about the pick to me was who was left on the board. AJ Epenesa would have been a perfect fit in this defense and we need pass rush (unless they are sure they can lock up Clowney, but this isn't information fans have right now). There were also some good CBs left, along with players like Yeter Gross-Matos, Marlon Davidson who would have come in and been immediate contributors. Even Like someone else said - we either have a backup RT who's too expensive, or we drafted a project that didn't make us immediately better. I don't even think Wilson was the best OT left on the board. Joshua Jones from Houston was still available and I think he's a better player.

With the few moves we made in FA, and a project in the 1st round, how much improvement can we really expect this year?
 
Eh I hear you, but does that apply here? I mean sure mid to high first round sure. However we made the AFC Championship last year and was pick 29. That's basically a 2nd round pick? Lol

And when we drafted Dodd people said it’s basically a first round pick lol which is it??

The guy could be a great player but this is the first time I was scratching my head after a JRob first round pick. I’ll back him though he’s a Titan now.
 
I think in order to make this pick we have to have Clowney locked up and just working on the minor details of a contract. But we still need a starting CB...Butler and Adoree are solid but Tye isn't consistent enough and still need a solid 4th rated cb unless they truly want Hooker to move to the slot.

I gave this pick a C+ because we weren't in position to draft BPA we had needs at CB, EDGE, RB and K.
Kelly is good enough to start and we signed Ty Sambrillo to be our swing Tackle...I'm not feeling this move.

Former Georgia Football OT, Isaiah Wilson Drafted by Tennessee Titans
 
Our offensive line was good, now has become elite and deep....lets ask Derrick Henry if he's happy, and Tanny. The run game will continue to punish teams, and open up the play action more....great pic I give it A-
