Caleb Farley has herniated disk

Conklin was/is a great T.

Davis was good, not great.

Jackson is also good.

All other 1st round picks were pretty bad.

 

Weaver is playing like a 1st round pick
Molden is playing like a 2nd round pick
Rice is playing like a 3rd round pick
Overall I’m not terribly unsatisfied with the players we got out of the 2021 draft. I see three starter quality players there.

 

Well its hard to argue the team success since 2016, JRob is a large part of that.
Winning season every year that he’s been the GM
This season looks like playoff trip 4 in a row and 5 of 7 years.
Prior to JRob, titans had 6 playoff seasons entirely (17 years)

You can recognize some success while also still knock his failures. There really is a giant middle ground.

 

PFF current ranking
Conklin #35 OT
Davis #36 WR
Jackson #27 CB
Evans #44 LB
Simmons #5 DL

That’s FIVE straight picks of staring caliber players in the 1st round with a pair of all pro caliber guys. That is success.
The two Covid draft picks should have an asterisk next to their names.

 

Dude. Why bother? Emotion trumps logic and sensibility with some around here.

 

Farley was an unwise 1st round pick. He was better suited to 3rd of later given his injury history (and arguably his actual college production). JR seems to have moved away from his earlier process of counting production as a higher level factor than strictly athleticism. Robinson started out with a bang and has slowed to a fizzle. He needs to get impact players this year and move away from the plug-a-bum method of filling OL positions and his overly optimistic view of receivers such as Fitzpatrick and Taylor that we trade up for and nobody else wanted at those slots. We are a good team that could be a great team with just 3-5 of his busted picks panning out.

 

It also helps that the AFC South has been pretty bad in most of those years, as I recall 2018/2019 the only time we had a strong division.

 

I wish him the best but he just can’t stay healthy. He also seems to have lost any confidence he had dude looked like a deer in the headlights when he saw the field.

 

For every Farley whiff, Jrob finds 3-4 seemingly random street free agents that turn into big time contributors. Edwards Jr, Walker, Adams, Hilliard, etc.

 

There is a pattern of "higher risk, higher reward" when it comes to picking players with injuries. Sometimes they work out (Simmons) and sometimes they don't (Farley). As for others, Isaiah Wilson is sort of the anomaly....by all accounts he should have been a great pick and then all of a sudden forgot work ethic and desire to play football. That almost never happens at this level.
