    I think Nkemdiche will be a good pro, but it's certainly a risk. I'm not so much worried about his off the field stuff, but he gets by on pure athleticism too much and I don't know how much technique he actually has.

    Maybe he picks that up fast, but it's far from certain.

    I'm fine if Nkemdiche falls to the 2nd (which I don't think he will, someone like Denver or Seattle will snag him at the end of the 1st). But if you look at the success rate of players taken in the 2nd round or later, it's less than a 50% hit rate. At least with Nkemdiche you know he has 1st round talent, you just have to work on the off the field stuff - which I don't think is a big deal. Pot possession and falling out a window aren't the worst things in the world.

    10% hit rate on 2nd rounders if you're the Titans

    All depends on the team docs opinion (which we'll never hear) when it comes to smith. But, if he check out, even if he's out for the entire year, he's worth pick 43. This is a top 5 talent (if the injury didn't happen), we'd at least have 1 more top 10 pick next year. But, is docs say no, i would touch him til the 6th.

    Nkemdiche on the other hand. Takez plays off and gets in off field trouble. But, again has top 5 talent. So if he checks out in interviews with lebeau and co, I'd take him at 33, no problem.

    These 2 guys are huge boom or bust prospects. I would love for both to work out in 2 tone blue.

    I don't think Titans draft history is as important now than in years past. Robinson clearly has a different point of view than previous GMs.

    There will almost certainly be better DT prospects than RN in the second. Why take the risk?

    He actually has a plan is the difference. So far all the guys we've added fit a specific scheme.
