    So what we exchanged 4ths? That's stupid if thats the case.

    Then we draft Alterraun Verner? Who!!! Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Perrish Cox, and Dominique Franks were still available! Oh well.

    Agreed, we didn't get a 4th, we swapped 4th's. This makes no sense.

    Titans get little for White, Vickerson

    [​IMG]The Seattle Seahawks just got a running back who has had a 15-touchdown season and a big defensive tackle who can be part of a rotation.

    And the Titans gave them LenDale White and Kevin Vickerson for very little.

    The Titans moved up from 111th in the fourth round to 104th and also swapped sixth-rounders, moving up to 176th from 185th in the sixth round.

    They spent 104 on UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner.

    So they gained seven spots in the fourth, nine spots in the sixth in exchange for two veterans.

    That doesn’t amount to enough for me, even as White and Vickerson are only under contract for one more year after signing RFA tenders. Both are represented by Drew Rosenhaus.

    But I guess you take what you can get.

    I know a lot of people weren’t fans of White, and he could be a difficult guy to get a read on. I always thought of him as Anakin Skywalker -- I could see the good in him.

    But after playing the role of a good soldier last year, odds are he was going to head for the dark side in another year with very limited touches playing behind Chris Johnson.

    I didn’t think he had much trade value, and the Titans certainly didn’t get much out of dealing him. They are thinking addition by subtraction.

    Yeah we basically gave up two players in return for moving up 7 spots in the 4th round...

    Well maybe Fisher owed his USC buddy Carroll a favour...

    And we needed to honestly trade up to get Verner here? I don't know what to say about this.. I'm sure we could have got just a tad more out of this deal.

    Well Titan fans, you honestly got what you wished for.

    Don't change your mind, because isn't this what 9/10 of you fans wanted?

    Lendale was traded for almost nothing (just a swap of 4th and 6th round picks). Almost like just cutting him. The coaching staff must be done with him.

    CB Alterraun Verner better turn out to be way better than CB Walter Thurmond (who the Seahawks took in the Titans' old spot).

    All you guys do is overreact.

    They wanted to get rid of Lendale. They probably wanted to get rid of Vickerson. This is probably as much value as you could ask for with a dude with a year left on his contract and a backup DT.

    I'm happy. We got a Corner.
