we're simply trying to acquire talent, next year is irrelevant...they obviously don't have the OL available very high on their board, so they're passing....

it pisses people off, but it is the right thing to do....now, it may be that their draft board is wrong...but that is a separate issue

Every WR listed ahead of him on prospect lists was gone, and a few under him were also gone.

I just liked Adibi more personal preference thing, Franklin was probably going to get picked in this round.

Seriously, 80% of the board could have drafted better than the Titans. Their director of scouting must be John Bunting.

That would be bad ass.

If that's all we needed out of a receiver, we should have just kept Samie.

I can't believe the Raiders traded Washington for a 4th rounder. Great deal for Baltimore.

Agree, their player personnel department is just awful. I had a chance to intern there this summer and was afraid my career would be over in two years.

Laurenitus is a bum he cannot read the play at all, just a blitzer guy wo can run, he will be a big bust for someone.

I guess the Colts suck because 2 of their OL were UDFAs...

Well you also need a guy that can catch, and then doesn't smile when he drops one.
