The Blazers' Changing Paradigm Bar-right-arrows



One thing is obvious....

Reinfeldt and Fisher do not go to this web site when  considering the draft.  

Another thing that is obvious....
Reinfeldt and Fisher have forgotten more about this franchise than we will ever know.  In other words, they know what we need more than anyone else.  

Here is what I think:

I think they saw the WR's everyday in practice last year and they obviously felt that there was nobody in the draft better than these guys, or of a better value than what the Titans picked.

I LOVE the pick of Johnson.  Maybe they could of gotten him later, but if he is the guy that Reinfeldt and Fisher want, then why chance it?  I keep hearing on TV and reading that VY needs a weapon.  This guy is a weapon!  He has good hands, quickness and unbelievable speed.  He is the guy that if he gets into the secondary then he is gone.  When was the last time we had that?

I honestly am getting tired of the people who like the Titans because they have Vince Young saying they aren't giving him enough weapons, not using him the right way, or complain that they haven't brought over enough Texas guys....come on, he's a pro, a titan, not a Longhorn.  First and foremost I am a fan of the team more than any player or coach on this team....and the team is trying to get him as many weapons as they can.  I promise that Reinfeldt and Fisher aren't sitting around trying to figure out a way to screw Young.

I know people are disappointed that we didn't draft Bennett, he's a Bear, we need to get over it...just like I have to get over not picking Hardy.

I know nothing of the round 2 guy, but I am OK with drafting the TE in round 3.  If he was the best blocking TE in the draft, then it is a good pick. People are whining that we didn't take an o-lineman....well isn't that what we basically did with this pick.

Hawkins is a great pick.  I would of liked to have had some of the "better" WR's, but this could be a steal in the 4th round.  What's best is we got him for Adam Jones.  If he makes the field, then it is a great pick...and I mean the practice field!

I understand that it doesn't look like a great draft overall, but Reinfeldt and Fisher know more than we do about the needs of this team, and hopefully they have filled those needs.  We were a playoff team last year.  I was happy with that, now it's time to start winning some playoff games!  Jimmy has posted the amount of time until our opener....I can't wait!

It's ridiculous
to suppose these guys know what they are doing on draft day.  They may be fine evaluators of talent, great coaches, and nice people, but they are clueless when it comes to working the draft.  

This year, if you want Chris Johnson, fine.  I like him.  I think he's a great addition. He was one of our best picks in recent memory, but trade down.  If Johnson goes, you can replace him with Charles or Slaton in the third or even someone undrafted like Anthony Aldridge at UH.

Round Two, what do you think they were doing sitting there and watching a bunch of players I know they loved get snatched up.  Hmmm, I'll tell you what their board looked like at pick 16 in round two: 1. Desean Jackson, 2. Limas Sweed, 3. Malcolm Kelly, 4. Trevor Laws, 5. Quentin Groves, 6. Calais Campbell, 7. Fred Davis and no 8.  They think they are in great shape, then.....BOOM.  Laws goes at 16 to PHilly.  Davis at 17 to Wash.  Dsean at 18 to Philly.  Campbell at 19.  Kelly at 20.  Groves at 21.  And the real kick in the junk....Sweed at 22.  

Poor Titans are left with no one to choose.  Why?  Because they sat on their asses again.  I can promise you they didn't have Jason Jones above any of the players they watched go.  The Titans don't make moves, they take their medicine.

Round Three, I'm also willing to bet they had Craig Stevens ranked below Pat Sims (who went at 14) Doucet (18) Morgan (19) Zuttah (20) and Douglas (21).

Round Four, someone explain trading up for a HUGE reach.  The only time the Titans move up is to take a deeep sleeeper DE/OLB!  What?  Why not move up in two or three?  Who drafting after them was going to Pick Hayes?  Cleveland with their first pick of the draft ?

Hawkins is great.  I'm excited he was there.  I have no idea who Stanford Kegler is.

Round Five could have been Marcus Howard, Letroy Guion DT, Carlton Powell DT, or Dmario Pressley DT.  But we traded it away to move up.

Should I continue to 2007?  
Round One:  trade back if you want griffin, up if you want someone else.
Round Two: trade back, who else is gonna grab Henry? there were two RBs taken in the next 50 picks: Green Bay went with Brandon Jackson and Miami went with Lorenzo Booker.  Just because scouts love Henry doesn't mean they should reach a round.
Round Three: again, I'm sure Paul Williams wasn't their top WR.  Why not move and get someone to fill your biggest need?

The Titans talent evaluation we don't know enough about.  I agree.  But the way the franchise gets from a player it likes to a player it drafts is laughable.

I agree
with a lot that is said above.  However I disagree with... "This year, if you want Chris Johnson, fine.  I like him.  I think he's a great addition. He was one of our best picks in recent memory, but trade down.  If Johnson goes, you can replace him with Charles or Slaton in the third or even someone undrafted like Anthony Aldridge at UH."

This implies that if we miss Chris Johnson, we could just pick up some other speed back that would fill in just as well, which is completely ignorant because if that was the case we already have our guy in Chris Henry.

Again, nearly everything said after that we are in agreement on.  I was irate when I heard they traded up in round 4 for a reach at DE.  I like the Hawkins pick as well...

by SuperHorn on Apr 28, 2008 11:31 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i'm sure...
they wanted long and mcfadden too, but those guys were gone.

what i mean is they scout and research who they think will be available.  if they like a guy, they draft him.  as for trading up or back....maybe nobody was trying to move up into the 24 spot.  we can't assume that.  if there were people moving up, then maybe they weren't offering a pick where we could get the man we wanted.  

I have followed this franchise for a long time and have faith in coach fisher.  I agree that last year's draft hasn't panned out yet and I don't think Chris Henry will ever amount to much, but give it some time.  We'll see.

by gotitans27 on Apr 28, 2008 11:06 AM CDT   0 recs

just wondering
are you listening?  are you awake?  Long, McFadden, what?  I'm talking about players snatched right before we pick in round two because we don't know how to draft.  Eagles, Redskins, Steelers are all going to draft a WR.  Don't sit there and watch your top ranked player get taken right before you pick.  Do something.  Fisher is a great coach.  But he is not a GM.  

Here's Fisher's comment from the tennessean yesterday, "Good receivers are always a priority. You are always looking for good ones but you have to trust your board and you have to also respect needs of other positions,'' Fisher said. "We could very well have taken a receiver earlier in the draft but they weren't there. They disappeared before we were ready to pick and so we moved on to another position."

Picks don't just disappear.  Teams choose them.  You evaluate the other teams' needs and move accordingly.   WR is by far our biggest need.  Move ahead of other teams with the same need.

by willchance on Apr 28, 2008 11:30 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

you missed my point with long and mcfadden...
i was saying that there are always players we would love to have but they are picked before we are up.  no those two weren't realistic whereas a limus sweed was...but they obviously didn't want those WR's bad enough to trade up.  i understand your argument and you don't have to mouth off or be sarcastic for me to get it.  i really just think the draft wasn't that horrible.

by gotitans27 on Apr 28, 2008 11:42 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Really?
I don't have to be sarcastic?  Do you think the Titans had Jason Jones ranked ahead of Groves, Campbell, Laws, Davis, Jackson, Kelly, or Sweed?  

Those guys were taken from 47-53. Immediately before we picked  60 points separate us from those picks on the value chart.  We could have given up a fourth round pick and moved up to fill a huge need.  Instead we slept.  And got burned.  That is bad management.  

Long and McFadden were over 1500 points away from us on the draft trade chart.  We would have had to give away our entire draft this year and a first pick next year to make that happen.  I fail to see how you have a point.

by willchance on Apr 28, 2008 12:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

you got to have somebody who really wants to
trade down before you can trade up... kinda unfair to judge when you can't possibly know all of the dynamics at play.  It's different when the guy is on the board and we go another direction, but blasting the coaches for not moving when none of us know what was up?

Weak.

by August West on Apr 28, 2008 12:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, that may be weak
if Philly didn't move into 47 (trading with Minnesota) to address their need.
Washington didn't trade with Atlanta at 48
And Jacksonville didn't trade with Tampa Bay at 52.

Other teams saw the value on the board and traded to fill a need.  The Titans stood pat despite having the most glaring WR need in the league.   Don't appeal to the black box we're-just-lowly-fans argument.  That fallacy is the only thing that's weak.

by willchance on Apr 28, 2008 12:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

touché on the trade point
but I'm still not really getting everyone's panic over the non-WR route... Hell, Calvin Johnson was 100 times the WR prospect last year than anyone in this draft was, but his impact was negligible at best.

Lets pay close attention to the situations with Roy Williams and Aquan B... those are guys who could help us right away.

Cheers
It's so frustrating seeing the Titans be passive in Free Agency (which I think is the right move provided they aren't also....) passive in the Draft, then trying to spin a clear error.  CO Brocato practically invented scouting, so we have to trust that whatever guy we do get is the best one left.  But Brocato doesn't decide if we trade up.  The Titans are uniquely bad at addressing WR needs.  Every other team gets it done.  We put it off.  I'm not going to waste my time hoping we pick up a veteran wide out...at least one who's in his twenties.

by willchance on Apr 28, 2008 1:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree...
that the offseason (past two) has been frustrating, i just think they know what they are doing....or at least hope so.  we'll see how it all pans out.

by gotitans27 on Apr 28, 2008 1:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Why does everyone make that flawed argument?
That Fisher and Reinfeldt are professionals therefore they know better than us...

As Titans fans, it is our right to hold their feet to the fire.

I keep pounding the table on these boards to remind people that Reinfeldt's first Draft, last year, continues to grade in the 'D' range, a full season later.  The guy strikes me as a good "company" guy.  If we walk into this season with 10-20 million in excess cap space, with a team that has reasonable odds of winning 9 games, then he'll have done his job, from the perspective of profitability.  That extra money goes straight into Adams pocket.  Now, you might argue that Adams has proven that he was willing to spend up to the cap space, as evidenced by prior years, but back then the cap was much lower.  Far be it for me to make the outright accusation, but just to sugggest that people consider the motivation behind entering a season with excess cap space, when guys like Michael Turner were available in Free Agency for those willing to spend.

Motivations aside, these two have aligned their playing philosophies...  Smash-mouth football, where the game is won at the line of scrimmage.  In such a setup, the QB is an afterthought, a "game manager", that horrible term used to describe a mediocre QB whose sole purpose is to not lose the game.

We know our receivers.  They are well below average.  Chance of us having a breakout receivers?  How, who?  Ealy, Hawkins?  At what point does this FO decide that the passing game is worth some investment?

You can be as tired as you want by fans who act disappointed that Vince did not get his weapons...  but I just want to point out that the reason they are disappointed is because Reinfeldt promised that it was a priority to upgrade the receiving corps.  The only move that will impact this year in a potentially major way is the Crumpler signing.    The *sshole lied to us, and now we'll probably have to sit through another season of Vince throwing balls that bounce off our brick-handed receivers while his confidence continues to erode.

They were not wrong to skip a WR in the first.  They were decidedly wrong to reach for a DL in the 2nd when many of the best receivers were still available.  I can only imagine how p!ssed off Vince Young is right now.

by BeansCarter on Apr 28, 2008 11:12 AM CDT   0 recs

Y'know...
...except for that they did upgrade the receiving corps by hiring an OC that has a reputation for coaching up players.  Oh, and signing Algae Crumpler.

Oh, and I hear that Chris Johnson guy can catch, and is pretty fast.

by hartley on Apr 28, 2008 7:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

what receiver...
 that was available either during free agency or pick 54 do you really think would of been a huge upgrade that would take vy from a good qb to a john elway/joe montana type qb?  don't get me wrong, i love vy and am so glad that he is on our team...but i don't think the receivers are the only ones to blame.  besides the denver game, i really can't think of a game that the receivers dropped a lot of passes.  sure there were some, but that's going to happen.  i am hopeful that heimerdinger is going to put vy and offense in position to be their best.  in 2 years we have gone from the 3 pick to the playoffs, that is in large part thanks to young...let's up it continues!

one note of clarification- i'm not tired of people that think we should get him more weapons, i just get frustrated with non titans fans constantly complaining about it because they are UT fans that still love vince.  i understand it, but i want what is best for the titans and to finally get a a super bowl ring!!

by gotitans27 on Apr 28, 2008 11:37 AM CDT   0 recs

All mistakes
by receivers aren't drops.  IMO, what made our receivers so inadequate last year wasn't their hands, but the poor route running/ability to get separation.  How many times did you see passes sail to seemingly no one and they'd cut to Vince telling him he went the wrong direction?  We're putting our quarterback in a situation where he has to throw into a 2' x 2'  window on EVERY single passing play.  Show me someone who says they have a quarterback that can be successful in that type of system and I'll show you a liar.

And, in willchance's defense, I don't think he was suggesting that a WR was available at pick 54.  His point was that the FO should have had the sense to know that the teams ahead of them were competing for the same players and traded up accordingly.

by SuperHorn on Apr 28, 2008 11:51 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

B. Jones and R. Williams
dropped CRUCIAL passes late in games that hit them right in the damn hands.

Dinger will fix that, because our WRs will know they'll ride the bench for such idiocy.

by August West on Apr 28, 2008 12:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree
that is a problem.  I'm just saying that the larger problem is the tight windows Vince has to throw into.  The only way to fix that is better route running, or raw speed.

by SuperHorn on Apr 28, 2008 2:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

good points...
i agree with most of what you said...

i just think there was not any wr they coveted enough to move up in front of 54.  

by gotitans27 on Apr 28, 2008 12:00 PM CDT   0 recs

I really hope
they tried to move up in the 2nd rd to get one of those WRs. If they didn't shame on them. You can't just sit there and wait for the guys you want to fall in your lap. Sometimes if you have a need that big you have to make a move to make sure you fill it.  Baltimore did it to get Flacco. Now I think Baltimore gave up too much, but it wouldn't have cost us too much to move up 1-5 picks to get the WR we wanted.

by Big Bad Bulluck on Apr 28, 2008 1:28 PM CDT   0 recs

fo is just like our team
we don't ever take any chances. thats why we re-sign former players and never go for home run free agents and sign second tier guys like givens and crumpler (i do like the crump signing though).
sure chris johnson is a risky signing for most teams, but you get the feeling that the titans were backed into that pick. same for jones, and every pick after. they just sat pat and went by their board.
fo is essentially our team on the field. run, run, short pass, and then randomly go for big plays when it doesnt really matter (william hayes).

by rolypoly32 on Apr 28, 2008 1:59 PM CDT   0 recs

Are there stats
Easily available on what teams trade up or down in the draft over a series of years?  It would be interesting to see how the Titans compare as far as number of moves.  I, like most of you guys, have the distinct impression that they tend to do very little horse-trading during the draft and primarily just take whatever is on their board at the slot they are given.  I don't remember them moving around in the draft a lot under Reese either.

by numbertenox on Apr 28, 2008 3:11 PM CDT   0 recs

Good Night
I'm so sick of this organization.  The real vindication will come when Hawkins is the clear number one WR by November.  When that day comes, let's remember that although Hawkins is pretty good, his success highlights how atrocious the rest of our WRs are.  

I'm sorry Vince.  If I could separate and catch passes for you, I would.  Sorry that your talent is being wasted with a bunch of scrub WRs.  I hope Ealy works out for you.  Sorry you can't take off and run anymore because safeties dont respect the deep threat.  Indy 2006 was fun.  

Goodbye mcm.  Have fun saying 6000 times that there are some interesting vet wide outs we could deal for this off season.  Then have fun saying 6000 times that the Front Office knows best--they're professionals.

That is pretty harsh
We did go to the playoffs last year with these "scrub receivers."

Or maybe the Browns.  Did they make the playoffs last year?

Maybe...
just maybe, this all makes sense. Maybe they are just waiting till they feel the time is right to spend the money on a big time WR. Maybe they feel Vince still isn't ready to take that big step in the passing game, and maybe they are right. Maybe they want him to spend a year learning Dingers offense before spending the money. Who knows? We should have plenty of cap space next year to re-sign Albert now. Maybe they want to see how that all plays out before they do anything on the wideout front.

Heimerdinger looked at the films and told Fisher and Reinfeldt that he could play with what he had and Chow was an idiot.

I'm a Longhorn fan.
I love the Horns.  I loved Vince playing there.  I would love to see the Titans pick more Longhorns.  That would just thrill me to pieces, but to insinutate that I am not a Titans fan because of that is a little bit offensive.

I have been an Oilers/Titans fan for over 30 years of my life.  I remember the Luv Ya Blue days.  I can still sing the Oilers song from memory.  Earl Campbell was my childhood hero as well as Bum.  I used to fight my big brother because he was a Cowboys fan.  I was at the Oilers/Broncos playoff game in Mile High cheering on the boys.  I was devastated when Elway pulled a win out of his little magic hat.  I've been a fan a long, long time.

In fact the only time I really wasn't a Titans football fan, was during their Super Bowl.  I was just pissed that they didn't make it as the Oilers, but I still wanted them to win.  I did stop watching the NFL for awhile after the Oilers became the Titans, but I never stopped following the team.  Bringing in Vince, Ahmard, and Bo just re-kindled the fire, and I am once again a diehard fan.

I want more weapons for the TITANS.  Vince does not a team make.  This is a team game, and I to grow weary of all the more weapons for Vince talk.  How about more weapons for Kyle?  Wouldn't he like it if our offense score more points.

So, take a step down from that really tall pony you're on and realize that you're not the only Titans fan, and that it is ok to question why they do some of the things they do on draft day.

And yes, I would have loved for them to take Sweed and Charles.  They didn't.  I think they did pretty well with the guys they did pick.  I just think they managed the draft differently then I would have liked to have seen.

Good day.

I am not a Texas

by Big Bad Bulluck on Apr 28, 2008 4:43 PM CDT   0 recs

No I was not singled out
I know that.  Did it hit close to home.  Yeah.  I actually haven't seen anybody on here as was described and I have pushed for some of the Horns.  So, I didn't know if I was included or not.  I was just pointing out the fact that I was not.

Enough of this part of the string.  I let my emotions get the better of me and fired off a return salvo.  Sorry.

I love the Johnson pick.  Even the Jones and TE dude.  Thought the DT/DE in the the 4th was just strange.  The others are fine.

Hawkins, I think will prove to be a good pick.  I've watched a little bit of CAL over the last few years and he looks pretty good.

Just thought that it was worth the risk to hold off a round on all of those and grab either a top end DE/DT/WR in the first.  Don't know if Johnson would have been there, but I think we could have risked it.  The others I believe would have been there a round later.

Anyway.  That's it.

Go Titans!

Know what they are doing?
I refuse to simply accept that the Titans people know what they are doing just because they are paid for it. They admitted on Saturday with the 1st round pick that they didnt know what they were doing one year earlier with the Henry pick. I am glad they admit their mistake and have moved on. But why is that supposed to give me confidence in this year's draft?

Dr. Z
at SI, weirdly enough, liked our draft.  In Teams whose drafts he liked:

"Tennessee Titans: If only on freak-show appeal alone. I don't know what a 4.24 running back looks like, but that's what Chris Johnson clocked at the combine. He's not a shrimpy little guy, either. He's 197 pounds. I mean, are there stretches when he leaves the ground entirely? I like Craig Stevens, the Cal TE (third round) as well."

Peter King didn't like our draft on the other hand - three RBs in a row in top 50 was a factoid he didn't like.

When we grade the Titans 2008 draft a few years from now, we should also grade Jimmy's mock draft alongside with it.

it was also a fluke to only score so few passing touchdowns last year it wont happen again it was a fluke. dinger is not going to be up in the box attempting to call plays . hes going to be down in brandon jones face wondering why he cant seem to catch a easy ball late in the game to pull it in for the win.
i think they are going to go back to old school pass to the tightends and run the ball like they did with mcnair back when dinger was with us. this new guy johnson seems a really good fit to their scheem. they want to run the plays for shorter gains instaed of the long ball. cus in my opinion vince cant seem to hit the long ball anyway so whats the point of drafting a fast reciver to run down the field if the ball is 10 yards of target. they want to keep it a short passing game to the tightends and dump it off to johnson and hope he breaks a big one and also run the ball with lendale. thats going to be the recipe for success in their minds.
its not rocket sicence if they draft another tightend, pass on a wide reciver and get johnson who can catch short passes and take it to the house. they are setting themselves up for ball control and time of possesion cus they want to keep the ball out of mannings hands and the best way todo that is run and make short passes move the ball down the firld and hopefully score this time around.

Relax people

Why dont yall just sit back, shut up, and wait to see what happens with these picks(including 2007). It is way to early to bash any of these selections. We are not able to see exactly what the coaches and scouts are able to. So relax and in 2 years or so, you can talk some smack.!
