Yes, I am aware that their scouting/personel department is very good. BUt I don't like ANY of the picks so far. More to the point, I think they passed on guys that ere CLEARLY better than the selections they made at all 4 spots.1.06 - Should Have Been: Antrel Rolle or MIke WIlliams.Ok, I can give them this one. If they think Adam Jones is a player, then so be it. However, Jones is NEVER going to cover someone like Mike Williams or Randy Moss or Reggie Wayne in the redzone. EVER. Neat-o, he's got great heart and toughness. And WOW, he's fast. And he jumps real high, alright! I say, "So what, he's still going to get owned by bigger, quicker WRs al over the league. Best I can tell, the Titans had to get rid of a top notch CB (Rolle) and replaced him with a smaller CB who excels in coverage of mediocre WRs. I'm not excited.2.09 - Traded down and ended up with someone who wasn't in any top-100 that I've seen. PLUS, Khalif Barnes was still on the board. Taking Roos might be a god pick eventually, but he's at least a year away from even being remotely worth putting on the field. I have no idea how they passed on Barnes. Even if they didn't want Barnes, I wouold have rather seen Adam Terry, Matt ROth, DAn Cody, or a 3rd tier WR. Instead, we got an OT that would have beenthere in round 3. Greeeeat.3.04 - Hey everyone, Justin Tuck (DE) and Eric Green (CB) and Stanley WIlson (CB) are on the board...lets take a WR thats really fast and needs a ton of help route running. As a default setting, Drew Bennet is going to be our WR1 this season while uber-talented and always hurt Ty Calico will be our WR2. We could have taken Chris Henry, WR-WVU, but we'd rather take someone even more raw.3.32 - Brandon Jones is a player....a player indeed. Nevermind that we still need help in the defensive backfield and Ernest SHazor AND Brandon Browner are still available.In short, I see that the Titans, my beloved Titans, ended up with a CB that will be overwhelmed a minimum of 4 games a year (Colts x 2, Andre Johnson x 2), an offensive tackle that could have been had a round later, and 2 WRs that are neither special nor pro-ready...
Excellent work. I look forward to getting Matt Leinart, Omar Jacobs or Vince Young at 1.01 next year.
