    Draft picks don't mean crap unless you pick quality players. Some of the drama queens on this board act like you need 15 draft picks each year. So the Titans used a 3rd and a 2nd next year to move up to get the player they want ( I believe Conklin was the player they targeted all along). We still have 3 2nd rounders and a 3rd rounder. What's up with all the whining? 520 leads the charge of course. Last year he cried about his man crush Mettenberger. Must be an abundance of estrogen in his bloodstream.

    Spot on. Why would anybody expect anything different from a different talent evaluator making the pick. The smart bet is to assume the new guy is exactly like the old guy.

    same useless scouting department, but I agree. Our best hope as Titan fans is that Robinson is not relying on those idiots for anything other than coffee

    I LOVE that Cleveland wanted a second but Robinson didn't want to give them one from this year knowing it was such a deep draft. We still have all of our high picks! Giving away next years when we will have two firsts and two thirds is WAY better than giving up one of this years! Who knows if there will be anyone we like in the second next year and where we'll be picking. Hopefully last ;)

    We got the best run blocking OT in the the draft who loves football, works his tail off and has zero off field issues.

    Absolutely worth it IMO

    I think with Jones and now Conklin, Grimm trying to build a modern day "Hogs"! Love it!

    Jack has given up 4 sacks, 4 hits, and 17 hurries combined in 2014 and 2015 pretty impressive.

    This - was a bit miffed about the move up last night and the giveaways for it but I was watching at stupid o'clock UK time. Things always look better next day and although I thought we'd go Decker over Conklin , I see the sense and I like the pick.

    At least JPimp is trying to be a creative GM in the draft and not a sit tight merchant like Webster was. We can't cry about this guy going up and down since we bitched about Webster's strategy. Tonight's action I think will be equally entertaining.
