So far Colt Anderson has not been firedJohn Fassel hired as ST coordinator
You are not wrong. but management always has to have 2 hats on at once. one hat looks out for the team and its performance today. when wearing the other hat you are keeping an eye out for the future.I'm fine with projects and trying to convert some and...this is a fine tactic but in the meantime ya need guys to play now
It's like we've been saying. Some of the draft guys have the QBs rated as second round picks. That's an uneasy thing.Mel Kiper has us drafting Ward over Humter in his mock. Would you rather have Hunter?

Mel Kiper 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders Lead Top 10
ESPN NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. projected two quarterbacks to come off the board in the first three picks as part of his first 2025 NFL mock draft, which…bleacherreport.com
That was the one I liked tooI am not a draft guru at all, but if the Titans could get a solid OL prospect at #7, I like the acquisition of Garrett Wilson and next year's Jets first round pick.
Don't see a massive uptick for the Titans next year and also highly doubt that the Jets make an instant turnaround. Therefore you would have two very high picks next year to get the QB.
If only there were a QB worth that this year. That’s an easy accept imo.I am not a draft guru at all, but if the Titans could get a solid OL prospect at #7, I like the acquisition of Garrett Wilson and next year's Jets first round pick.

sounds about right to me. it doesnt seem like a super exciting draft. That said... its a bit early to see hype. some players will get some hype. but there are not many players that people have been waiting on to turn pro.Hunter does seem special- no doubt- but the draft doesn't seem to be.
In time, usually GMs and writers fall in love with prospects and things change. Today the draft isn't exciting
Like everyone else In sick of Titans draft talk always being QB and always drafting a Tackle in the first and yet they're continuous needs.
This Grey Zabel T/G prospect that everyone is raving about from the Senior Bowl...the concept of drafting him is so welcome. I see mid second and third round grades.
In a normal draft, there's quality tackles in the first and maybe high second but after that they get so questionable that it's debatable if they should even be drafted (unless you're a good team for whatever reason) and invest in.
I think there is still some balancing and he could move a lot. Ya can't be THAT confident in a guy playing T or G and put him in the 2nd or 3rd. Maybe he's got negatives that that's just not the time to shine a light on? Anyway, I figure he'll move.
That comfort from a good not first round lineman is really intriguing
Company line is they still have faith in him.If they are saying they’ve seen enough from Levis, which I mean who hasn’t, then they have to go qb unless they don’t see what they like from Ward and Sanders or maybe Dart.
I dont know that he will ever be a great pro QB. I think he has the potential to be an average to slightly above average starting QB. but the ceiling isnt that high and right now his floor is pretty low. so if you feel a QB with a higher ceiling is available you need to at least think about taking him.I think conventional wisdom says that after 3 years of Levis he's probably not the guy but the optimistic view is that he improves year 2 under Calahan. Darnold faded down the stretch but it only took 6 years, a good coach and one of the better wr corps but he finally got unlocked. So I guess the question is do you take Ward rd1 or maybe take Hunter/McMillian and Dart in rd2 (if he's still there)
Tend to agree, one of the worst things franchise can do is force a QB pick, that said and guess stating the obvious will come down to their evaluation of the QBs, flip side is you don't want to pass on a franchise QB.I dont know that he will ever be a great pro QB.

but none of the QB's have a ton of hype at this time so you have to think its a weaker QB class. if jumping to the top QB in this class you need to ask yourself.... is this a situation a young QB can perform in?
PFN rankings (link below) have the Titans o line ranked #30. these guys arent the best o- line ranking site around but they are overall decent.

To that end, you are putting a QB into a situation where they will be running for their lives. Not a great place to learn.
so while I do think the shine has left Levis, I dont know that a rookie in a weak draft class would flourish here.
I'd say clean up the O line issues before taking a QB. When you do draft a QB you need to be able to put them in a position where they have a chance to be successful.
also one thing people dont realize about Henry.... when he does not run the ball, he actually seems to be good at the blitz pickup. and the dude is big. so when they lost him, they also lost an effective tool in the pass game.I don't like the Saints trade articles and the number of people saying it has some likelihood have me either questioning the Titans or the Saints reporters.
What do they have?
RB stuff-
Ran lied about trying to trade Henry then backtracked and claimed he was doing him a service as a beloved player. I pointed this out after the ESPN interview came out Nov Dec 2023.
Yes Pollard and Henry make about the same.
Yes I also think Pollard isn't a complete back and they need (Chestnut or) a powerback or even a fullback to supplement him.
Everyone is aware that Callahan loves Pollard and yet teammates aren't as adoring. They like the guy, they just lost the King. They say nice things and support him. Totally garbage to think anything negative. It's just human nature after a legend. Next year he'll probably get his due.
I think Kamara is on borrowed time. I've been a huge fan of his but it seems like it's been for a decade and there is no way he is this perfect match for the Titans and going to command big trade value.
I don't care that many Saints notable reporters suggest it. I'm not buying it one bit.
yeah, they could fill the QB slot. they have a high enough draft pick.Trying not to post repeated stuff. It gets difficult in the off-season but...I'm trying-
Borgonzi saying how they could move Latham to RT if the right prospect emerges would make Ran's two top picks very poor draft value. Since there were a slew of immediate Titans comments that he could be a LT for a long time it would make me question some things.
Borgonzi has said several times that they will build through the draft. He's not against signing free agents but it has been a common answer to several questions. The guy is surely making a point
Quote from atoz-
"We have some holes to fill on the offensive line, that will be No.1.
...and then just depth level across the whole team right now. Creating competition is going to be the biggest thing, whether it's through free agency, through the draft. There might be a guy that we sign off the street, a workout guy, but we want to build the fronts first, offensive and defensive line, and then build depth along the perimeter."
Quarterback was talked about a ton. Every reporter seemed to ask him. Don't read that as "not the QB." He talked of Mahomes. Callahan talked of Burrow. The importance of finding a franchise player etc.
He's got a unique style as you can see in that quote. He's not adding starters or backups. He's adding competition. I guess if they sign a RT and NPF gets cut, it'll be presented as soandso won the competition. Whether he keeps saying that all summer doesn't matter to me. He's showing his mindset and trying to change mindsets in the organization.
The Shedeur Burrow comparisons don't land with me. I didn't watch him regularly but what I've seen doesn't at all make me think Burrow. Burrow has that Montana Marino insane nerve to stand in the pocket, stay focused, and throw and oh btw there were defenders about to tackle him.
I'm a little concerned Callahan is reaching with his comparison comments.
ATM I'm a bit on Aaron Brooks for comparison. Are any of you old enough to remember him? (Trying to tag Oz but failing)
