Position Battle: WR4-WR7

Reynolds isn't getting cut his contract is worth 1.75 mil and is guaranteed

 

Reynolds will be fine and he will be the number 3. I expect him to have a very nice year with A.J and Julio getting the attention. Fitz will make the team and McMath (special teams). I would think Johnson and Rodgers. If we keep 7

 

AJ
Julio
Reynolds
Johnson
Rogers
Fitzpatrick
McMath

7 WR...haven't heard much about Fitzpatrick which is worrisome as he was a 4th rounder.

 

Normally a 4th round pick would be pretty safe but if the 6th round guy is playing better as a WR and can also be real solid on STs I'd not hesitate, with Johnson and Rogers looking good, to take a chance cutting Fitz and hoping he can clear for the PS. Keep the rookie you have the most confidence in and who can contribute. At this point Fitz is going to be nothing more than a bench warmer who isn't active on Sundays anyway. Guys like Rogers and Johnson might really be quality depth and potentially as good or better than Reynolds. If a 4th round pick can't be in the top 7 take your loss, be thankful a 6th round pick is better than expected and keep guys like Rogers who can play.

 

Lavelle Hawkins was a 4th.
Made the team but was garbage including a roster w/ Justin Gage as the “#1” guy.

I remember mostly because I thought Hawkins was gonna be good. Sadly he was not.

 

I thought Hawkins could be something as well but apparently he had a empty head and poor work ethic. IMO if he had worked hard and had a few IQ points above 75 he could have been a top 3 WR on someone's roster. Those were the days when the Titans picked about 100 3rd through 6th round WRs that never amounted nothing better than bench warmers. We finally picked Kenny Britt and I thought we broke through but his IQ was lower than Hawkins.

 

Man, those days were such a struggle in the passing game. Justin Gage as a #1 is pathetic looking back.

Sadly, we're reliving the same thing now, except at pass rush instead of WR.

I keep thinking, "what if we could add the defense from the 2008 season to the current Titans team?"

 

Probably could. I’m sure every single player from that 2008 team is available currently.

 

while I agree... PS guys are available to all 32 teams.

zero chance he would last on the PS IMO
