    Two years ago the Titans drafted a small school offensive lineman from Charlotte named Nate Davis. Davis hadn’t played against high end competition in school, and it clearly showed with a terrible preseason performance. Davis was so bad, he was inactive to start the 2019 season, before gradually being worked into the rotation in week 4. The first half of the season he definitely looked like a fish out of water, but by late in the season he was a standout part of our offensive line.

    In 2020, Davis received multiple All Pro votes.

    I mention this because many are writing off Radunz already. Lamm and Sambrailo can easily hold down the RT position to start the season. As long as Radunz continues to improve, I have no doubt he can be a valuable part of this O line in the future.

    That’s the hope I think.

    I hope so, after the Isiah Wilson pick we need to hit on his replacement

    Many on here wanted Carlos Basham or Terrance Marshall at that pick....if Radunz and Fitzpatrick don't work out, it won't look good

    Fingers crossed he gets it together, watching him last night was painful.

    I remember though, we ALL wanted to boot Davis when he first joined the team. Very slow to catch on.

    The best OL the titans have ever fielded cake with a couple later round surprises.
    Love to see it. Plus Radunz has a cool dragonball Z name. Maybe he’ll eventually be over 9000.

    I think a lot of people (including myself) are going to be impatient with Radunz. Not because of who he is. We all acknowledge this team is in WIN NOW mode and we all wanted someone who can contribute like right now, instead of the future.

    With the Wilson debacle, we lost a valuable 1st round pick and now we clearly don't want to have a project with a valuble 2nd round pick a year later at the same position.

    Maybe he is our future, but being that we're in win now mode, we all wanted someone who can contribute right out the gate and I clearly don't see that in Radunz right now.

    Exactly and furthermore, the expectation should have been a more polished player after giving Kelly the axe for pretty much no reason.

    Of course I hope he turns it around, but my frustration is in equal parts with him and the FO.

    And an exception (Nate Davis) is not a rule.

    Kelly is done. Not upset at losing him. We have options at RT. Radunz looks outmatched right now though.

    Remember that his college didn't play last fall (other than 1 game). I'm sure that doesn't help.
