For some reason I thought he had been selected already. Not sure what made me double check, but I’m glad I did.
@nybites Was talking later round picks with a Steelers fan this past week and this is a guy that I believe would be a great pick up for Pittsburgh to get into that pipeline of OLBs.
Reminder... if anyone wants an extra pick, the upcoming #193 is yours for a future 5th rounder. I have a name in mind to draft with that pick, but the trade would be the higher priority. (I should also mention that yesterday's trade for a future pick was Miami. This one is for Atlanta.)
I think the Titans draft here is pretty straight forward but I'll give a quick recap/breakdown anyways. Round 1: Cam Ward, QB, Miami Best QB in the draft (although a bit of a down year). He has a ton of experience which I think is very important at the position and has played at a variety of different levels and in different schemes. Round 2: Traded down for a better pick later and took Jaylin Noel, WR, ISU The Titans WR room is about as close to literally Ridley and nothing else as you can get and I don't want my young QB learning bad habits forcing throws to bums who can't get open. Noel was super productive on the field and doubled down with a very nice combine, very happy to get him here. Round 3: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami Similar idea do above although TE isn't as much of a deadspot as WR on the roster. Arroyo has difference maker potential at the position and the added benefit of giving Ward a target he's already familiar with. Round 4: Barryn Sorrell, EDGE, Texas A solid all around edge who can fill the Landry void. Very solid get here imo. Round 4: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland Very productive BIG10 WR despite poor QB play, another step in rebuilding our WR room and helping out Ward. Round 5: Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse Not a new strategy to double down at the QB position and makes even more sense after trading away Levis (good riddance). McCord has real upside as a shown in his last year so there's worse ways to back up your room. Round 5: Cody Simon, LB, OSU Solid all around LB would should also be able to help on special teams Round 6: Marcus Harris, CB, Cal Good athlete who can provide depth and special teams help I think it's pretty clear this draft was all about rebuilding the offense giving our new QB and offensive minded HC lots of pieces to work with. It's put up or shut up time on that side of the ball.
That makes it last call... anyone wanting to scoop up an extra pick, speak now... I'll announce my pick in about 10 minutes.
Oh, I already confirmed on my end. Great timing - I was typing in the name and clicked refresh one more time just in case... Raiders are OTC...
The selection was mispelled and I went and imputed proper the proper thing a long while ago. Someone else must have swapped it back to the wrong spelling or you missed it somehow.
Someone must have changed it back. I typed it in without the e. I even made sure I wasn't wrong. If I did type it with an e I did immediately change it back. So it either got undone or "corrected" afterwards.
Do you and RT have my spreadsheet from last year? If you can find a Really Big List o' Prospects, it might help with that sort of thing.
There are a few misspellings and one player (Nohl Williams) with the wrong school. He went to California.
