Julio Jones at #8 picking up buzz

We can't draft Jones or Green with the needs we have. It'd be nice, but we couldn't even get Randy Moss the ball. New coaches, new team, but how in the hell do you not play Randy Moss?!?! Still baffles me. SMH

 

Julio Jones could be a Hines ward type player for the titans. A workhorse and a tough guy who loves to block. Britt could be the same but since he was drafted he became an idiot.

Having 2 220 lb Wrs who are tough guys and can block could never be a bad thing. It actually helps our defense.

There is never a guarantee that whomever we draft will end up being a great player. We could draft Fairley and he turns out to be an idiot and i'll take Julio Jones any day over Jake Locker. My gawd!

 

You guys are vastly overrating Jones' potential. Andre Johnson he is not.

 

exactly he never showed the rediculous workout numbers on the field. AJ Green is the only WR I would take with our first round pick and he didn't perform half as good as Julio did he is just a better football player by far.

Mayock said he never saw Jones 4.3 speed carryover to the football field.

 

Every year, a wide receiver gets compared to Andre Johnson. Crabtree, Bryant, etc. None turn out to be that level. People like making comparisons because they make everything seem simple. It doesn't make those comparisons valid, though.

Besides, the Titans have already invested in a wide receiver to fill that role. Taking another and neglecting way more important needs on defense would be insane.

 

AJ Green has had Stafford and Murray to work with in an offense that throws the ball a lot more than Bama with JPW and McElroy.

Julio is an athletic freak that can catch, run, and has playmaking ability. The most important part of his game is blocking because we know no matter how many WR's we have CJ is going to get his so might as well have some WR's that are good blockers. Also Bama's offense is a lot like the Titans (a lot of running plays, no big WR sets, QB that doesn't air it out).

Even though I would rather go Quinn or Locker right now, if we can trade for players and have a free agency soon this wouldn't be bad.

 

Just about every highlight long run CJ had you saw Britt down field blocking for him. Having a WR who can be a physical blocker is underrated. If Britt got his head out of his rectum CJ would have a field day both because these WRs can block and defenses can't stack the LOS or they will get burned. Look at what happened to the offense last year when Britt was hurt. Jones gives us another Britt and insurance should Britt not get his head straight.

Jones is an Andre Johnson type guy. He has great speed and jumping ability for his size. Trying to compare him to guys who are not the physical freaks doesn't make sense. He is very comparable to Britt and if teams want to double Britt he is going to be tough to handle one on one.

IMO being able to get first downs and score points (TDs not FGs) is just as important as playing defense. Just because we draft this kid doesn't eman through FA and the rest of the draft the team can't improve defensively and whoever we have playing QB will benefit.
