Key, I always like your draft input.

I noticed that you skip or avoid the OL besides center, where as I think it is a priority to upgrade the trenches (starters/depth). Same as DL...I would even add a sneaky draft consideration, another safety and ILB ( we kind of have no depth there, probably 2nd to TE)

I know it is just an early list.... thanks Bro!

Probably not going to be able to upgrade either Tackle spot with the draft this year. Decastro is a top 5 guard. LG will most likely be upgraded from in house. Pouncey is on his last legs. I think he should take a pay cut. I see Center as the value in this draft.

I keep coming back to this thread. (as I said before I really like your draft insight)

Is there a player who would be available to us, let me rephrase that, is there any position available, where a rookie can come in and plug and play?

Like in previous years, Watt, Edmunds, Bush....

TE is only position I can think of, but they all seem to be projects.

None of the TE's are locks. Which is why Iike Harrison Bryant in the 4th. RB's like Dobbins and Hubbard would probably slot in above Conner early in the season. A round 2 OL could possibly jump in and start also.

After watching Henry exploding again ( he went off end of last year too) in the late part of the season and in the playoffs, I want a RB!

I am sold( period) We need a dominate RB that just takes over. Tanahill has only 30 attempts in last 2 games, ( 14 against Ravens)

one could also argue that we need to draft another OL or two, the Titans dominated the line of scrimmage,

I see the logic in what your saying. Take pressure off of an aged qb by having a dominant run game. Pairing that with a good defense is a winning formula.

Also works for a young QB that doesn't have a lot of game experience, aka Rudolph, because odds are very good he will be starting a couple games next season. Ref. Tannehill's playoff passing stats.

Here you go 2020 starters... AV-Feiler-Pouncey-Decastro-Oka that combo was put together to counter LAC's strong DL ( Snell had a hell of a game from what I remeber)... I wonder why we didn't role with this more or come back to it...

I doubt Ben would be okay with only throwing 15 times a game.

Pouncey taking a backseat would be better.

Pouncey taking a backseat would be better.

Do you feel that is realistic?
