    I think I noticed some other fullbacks going in the 5th and 6th, so I'd say he wasn't a reach.

    The Niners took a punter in the 5th... and they already have a good punter. Lol so let's at least be happy that wasn't us. Niners are gonna suck so bad moving forward. Back to irrelevance.

    He should be able to be useful. Put him in the slot in four wide at least.

    It doesn't matter what round it is... If it's a guy you want, you have to pull the trigger or risk losing him to another team. Obviously, they thought highly of this guy.

    Having a guy who can block, run and catch can't be a bad thing!

    That's what I'm looking the most forward to. Our red zone offense has been piss poor the past few years and now we have hopefully a power run game, a big target out wide, Wright/Douglas in the slot, Walker, and the swiss army knife in Fowler. Also Mariota's running ability will also be a wild card. I won't automatically think FG once we get to the 20-yard line.

    But you take criticism to a whole new level...like a crying little ninny, and based on not a lick of factual information.

    True, but as much as I like the draft overall, I do think they reached way too far on Blackson. I follow college football more than the NFL, and I never heard of the guy...even when UT played Auburn in 2013. Never heard his name mentioned once. And a lot of times, UT and Auburn pursue the same recruits, so I've usually hear of many of the bigger names in the SEC.

    I think they felt Blackson was a good run-stuffer, and if we struggled in the run game like last year, they could plug him in there on those downs.

    Webster said that when they were talking with the Giants about trading the pick, they had about 4-5 guys in mind to take their, so they felt they had a good chance to trade back a little bit and still get one of them. I suspect OT Jake Fisher (Mariota's LT) was one of those guys, and someone they thought had a better chance of slipping to where we were at the top of the 3rd. He went off the board later in the 2nd, to the Bengals.

    Knowing that was a big need for us, perhaps it made them realize that they might have to start targeting some guys they want a little earlier (reaching) to keep other teams from beating them to the punch. I've seen it in ever draft. Some players slide a lot further than anyone expects and others go way before anyone expects. In the 2nd Rd on, I always see some teams grab guys none of us have ever heard of and often from small schools.

    So, yeah...both Blackson and Fowler were probably 5th Rd to 6th Rd guys, but we don't know what the Titan's board looked like.

    Taylor Thompson is going to be a serious weapon, now that he's had a few years to develop. You could see him being a "go to" guy, in the preseason, before he got injured and placed on IR.

    If he stays healthy, he'll be a key component in the offense, this year. Nevertheless, carry on with your b!tching and moaning routine.
