    I see your point. But like he said he wants to beat you in the ground that you will hate to see the Titans on your schedule. That is fire that is much needed on this team.

    All I've heard it glowing reviews from the talking heads. I'm pretty surprised.

    I was pretty critical of the 2nd round picks last night but this draft is really starting to grow on me. I really wanted Miles Jack and it sucks him and Ramsey are going to the hags but JRob got guys that all have similar traits. Pretty much everyone of them is a hard working tough nose football players. Reminds me of Pats drafts in the past where you just think ok solid player but not a star. They get on the Pats and they simply buy in to the team and produce. At least all of them showed some kind of decent production in the college game even though Dodd scares me being a 1 yr wonder and Henry is going to boom or bust in the NFL. I ranked it a B- because I think we our second and 3rd rounders could of been had a little later than we took them but sounds like they targeted these guys and wanted to make sure they didn't miss them. Third day of the draft was pretty solid, still would like to see them get Cash as a UFA. Just think he would be a really good sub package guy as a SS. Getting an extra 1st rounder for the next year was awesome…hopefully JRob can turn that into more picks like he did this year. Just need the Rams to flop this year and get another top 5 pick.

    Going with B here.

    Originally I was super pissed they gave up that kind of value to trade up to 8 yet passed on Tunsil. But I've actually soured on Tunsil quite a bit. All the injuries and the baggage, plus, I hate to say it, but he just doesn't seem to be smart at all.

    I think Conklin was a home run pick. Got 100% confidence that he'll be a great RT. Now it's on Lewan to prove himself.

    Passing on Jack was our biggest mistake IMO but Dodd was good value too. Liked the other two 2nds. Wish we had traded back up for Vonn Bell in round 2 but not the end of the world.

    Also think we badly needed to get a CB early on but maybe they can get a shutdown corner with one of the 1sts next year. Giving MM what he needs was a much more important task this draft.

    Didn't get to delve into the late round players this year because of work so I'm not gonna act like I know anything about today's picks but they all seemed decent enough - especially the guard.

    Give it a B+; however with any draft you have to wait a while to see if you are getting sweet butter or sour cream. Could work out well offensively as teams may have to bring up line backers to try and stop the bruising running game thereby opening up the short and intermediate passing routes.

    Grade B. Loved our first pick, and I am warming up to the Austin Johnson pick. We needed to fill that position, and obviously they thought he was the guy. Wanted secondary early, so the Dodd pick will be something I will keep an eye on. I was none too pleased with the Henry pick, although I understand it. It is time to Titan up and see what this season will bring us. This OL is looking pretty nasty, so I expect a possession clock killing team that will at least keep games close.

    Hard to judge this draft right now, still looking for info on Johnson and some of the later picks.

    But I do love the Conklin and Henry picks. Dodd looks better and better the more tape I see too.

    Solid B. Although arguably not the best, filled needs with talent. Took wise risks when necessary. Definitely chose a direction to build and define the team. I like it. I support it.
