Breaking News With pick 38 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select DT T’Vondre Sweat, Texas

Some great quotes in the article:

“Let’s just pretend for a moment that mock drafts and online big boards were an accurate way to evaluate a draft pick (spoiler, they’re not)…”
that’s not limited to this pick, it applies to many of the other selections people were crying about.

“It’s pretty clear that other NFL teams had Sweat ranked highly and the Titans would not have been able to get him had they traded down.”
But but but trade downs were left on the table. just like Vrabel I’m sure.

 

That's worth another one!

All things considered, I would rather have made that Rams trade if it was available, and taken a lesser player with Rams pick. The extra 2025 2nd rounder would be pretty awesome.

 

I'd agree more if we had a 3rd. We had a chance at one of the top 3-4 DTs at 39, maybe the exact type we wanted. By 52 we're down 7 or so options at that DT. To move down that far you're really crossing the names off a lot of the players that were heavily scouted and invested in. The 5th, eh that's a crapshoot if you even get a PS guy.

It may not have been such a big deal depending on how this giant DT performs. I'd rather have a great player this year than a mediocre player this year and a draft pick next year myself.

 

Obviously I am not building the team, but if DT was a viewed as significant need we could simply just sign Calais Campbell and draft a lower rated DT that you think can develop into a starter.

 

Calais wants to spend more time with his grandkids.

 

Dodd was a DE

Think Sen'derrick Mark's

Or however you spell his name

 

Calais is old AF and named after a port in France. Do not want.

 

its misinformation... his original name was Normandy
