    I hadn't watched. Stats can be put thru a narrative and produced to highlight basically whatever you want but his snaps to tackles ratio was bad bad bad. Not surprised

    He rated higher than Woods in PFF. I think DLB has a plan for his abilities. He also has a nice super bowl ring he can show off in the locker room. You know what they call guys who wear those ?

    Overall
    Sly 43.5
    Woods 46.1

    ....

    Sly
    Run grade: 42.1
    Rush grade 68.2

    Woods
    Run grade 53.6
    Rush grade 49.7

    That traditional NT is dead. I'm sure it's that rush grade and DLB using him on stunts like Brave and I talked about.

    Who knows. How many times have we let some talented guy go only to watch him put it together somewhere else?

    Maybe it will happen in reverse for a change. God knows we're due.

    Just like every move JRob has made since he traded last years first overall pick

    Those played out moves equated to six more wins than the year prior. I'm not under his desk like some posters but I'll at least wait and see how this season plays out and players he has signed take snaps in a Titans uniform.

    Exactly. He's guaranteed a whopping $7M. At worst, he's a solid rotation guy, and can be cut after 1 year for very little in dead cap money, and after 2 years for basically nothing. Comparing him to a guy like Brandon Williams, who is guaranteed 5 times as much money, is ludicrous. He's likely just a depth player, but hopefully he can live up to his potential.

    Exactly......He made improvements & I am optimistic as I can be......I just want to see how this draft goes. This draft has the talent we need at the positions we need. If he plays it right we can come out in good shape. We didn't address areas we could have in FA. So I really hope this draft plays out well. He needs to hit on those 2 first round picks in a big way IMO.
