    Veach is good. He has only had 1 first round pick though which was last year. Given time, he’ll blow one too. Stay just an inexact science. JR need to up his game this year though...

    Byard playing as bad as rest of D. And that’s because we didn’t get decent pass rush in past drafts and FA, and didn’t get a legit DC. But yeah that doesn’t reflect on the GM.

    2016 - Conklin (didn't pick up 5th yr option, lost in FA) 3rd round comp pick?
    JRob whiffed on Round 2 except Henry..great pick

    2017 - Davis at 5 (good #2 but not a #1 which you expect at 5)
    Jackson - good not great CB (we need to use him more, used Pacman he was taken at 6)

    2018 - Evans

    2019- Simmons, great pick at that spot, needs a running mate though

    2020- SpongeBob Wilson -wasted pick?

    My point was Veach has such a small sample size it is hard to say about him never missing a first round pick.

    We didn’t pick up Conklin’s option because he was hurt and his play slipped similar to Adoree and y’all are b!tching about us picking up his option lol can’t win either way.

    Conklin signed one of the richest OT deal in history. We can’t afford 2 of those on the same team.

    CD and AJ25 would both sign big deals with other teams if they aren’t brought back. To me, that signals that other teams recognize that are solid players. Considering how many 1st rounders turn into busts I’d say it’s a pretty good track record so far. Only one bust.

    You have no idea what kind of deal CD or AJ would sign with another team...Davis has yet to get 1000 yds, he's a good #2 and AJ is coming off a season missed due to injury

    You're we are rough on JRob, he's made some good moves, some questionable moves like many GMs but since he's the Titans GM I don't care about what the others are doing
    We'll see this coming offseason, the D needs fixed, either by staff or players improvement

    Ok plain and simple.... so if CD/AJ25 signs a big deal elsewhere will you admit you were wrong?

    We got 6 picks from the Rams in that trade. The 1st rounders he turned into Conklin and Davis. Conklin was/is an elite tackle and Davis is a very solid WR, albeit a little injury prone.

    The two 2nd round picks he turned into Austin Johnson (miss) and into all pro King Henry. They sent that Rams 3rd rounder to the Browns in the move up to get Conklin. The 2017 3rd round pick was spent on Jonnu Smith.

    So among the 6 picks we received, J-Rob selected 4 players that turned out to be very good/elite.

    I'd say he did pretty well with that King's ransom. J-Rob has drafted well in every draft until 2020, and to be honest, it's way to soon to judge that draft. So far, only a handful of guys from that entire draft have even made an impact.
