    We do have Weaver who flashed in pre-season as a rookie last yr until he broke his leg...so he is almost like a new draft pick....I agree though you can't have too many edge guys.

    Let me preface this by saying I don't really want this to happen. I'm just saying I think it's more possible then we think.

    But I have a sneaking suspicion J-Rob and Vrabel are making post-Tannehill plans. They were at Cincinnati's pro day today, and a QB that everyone believes will be available at number 26 is Cincinnati's QB Desmond Ridder (I agree this would be a reach for us).

    Here's the big connection though - Vrabel and Cincinnati's coach, Luke Fickell are bros. Fickell was actually Vrabel's best man. So I am sure they both have been discussing Ridder at length and that Fickell had been talking him up.

    I don't love Ridder. He reminds me of a less talented Mariota with a little bit of Alex Smith sprinkled in. Just saying this may be more likely to happen than we may think.

    I LOVE Jelani Woods. I started watching some of his tape over the weekend, and I was like "where has this guy been!?"

    The strength and athleticism jump off the screen. He must be a terrible blocker or have some sort of off the field issue, because I don't see any holes in his game at all. Why do people have them ranked as a 3rd or 4th round pick? He looks like TE1 in this draft to me.

    He only has 1 year of decent production and it wasn't a particularly great season. So that's largely why he has gone unnoticed. You can tell he is a bit raw, but from a talent standpoint, he's definitely top 2-3.

    Blocking wise, he has a lot of experience there, as he was the primary blocking TE at OK State when they had Chubba Hubbard. I'd say he's probably one of the better blocking TEs in the draft.

    Honestly I think that Ridder is a dark horse for us at 26th as well. The Titans need to draft QB of the future and Ridder fits what the Titans need in a QB very well. Replacing Tannehill's cap hitwhit a rookie deal pretty much solves all of Tennessee's cap situation and while the QB class is better next season that is mostly due to the Hall, Stroud, and Rattler. All three will likely go top 15 and thus likely outside of the Titans draft range without trading up.

    The only thing that I really hate about Ridder is his mechanics which is a little loopy. I think this leads to his intermittent accerracy issues. With that being the case sitting Ridder behind Tannehill for a season and focus on his mechanics maybe a good plan especially if we can trade down and grab another day 2 pick.

    I'd still rather go WR though

    Hall? Assuming you mean young?

    And Rattler will need a big year to get back into 1st round consideration. He also has some character issues. Rumor is that many of his teammates didn't like him. I do like Jake Haener a lot too, even though he is on the small side. Elite arm strength and very good athletic ability.

    I want no part of Ridder in the first. If he is there later in the 2nd and we want to move up, then so be it. But no 1st round QB please.

    Not that high at least. I could see JR going up 2-3 spots if he really liked one. But no way he shoots up that high for sure.
