Mc_tiny by Jimmy on in 2009 NFL Draft Comment 225 comments

Now come the rounds where things get really interesting.  Be sure and stick around all day for instant analysis of the Titans' selections.  I am still holding out hope for an early move up to get D.J. Moore.

A+ yesterday

Couldn’t be more pleased with the additions we made yesterday. Senderrick ran a 4.7 coming out of high school, recently switched from DE to DT, and has a lot of room to grow. After two years of weight training (only 16 reps at 225 in the combine) he could develop into a monster.

Both of our picks are young. Marks left early but is 22. Kenny Britt will still be 20 on opening day. He’s going to be our number 2 wideout by game 5.

Today, I’d like to trade up and address both TE and CB this round.

TE: Jared Cook, Shawn Nelson, James Casey,

CB: DJ Moore, Macho Harris, Donald Washington.

by helpVY on Apr 26, 2009 9:22 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Marks can dunk @ 6' 2" 306

holy crap. i would complain more about neglecting moore, but marks seems like exactly the kind of guy washburn can mold into a big time player.

scoring in the paint!!!

post moves are key!

but seriously, it’s more about the explosion he gets when he pushes. great sign of his athleticism and quickness, as well as general leg power.

This is my point every year

I’m not sure who they think is number one on the board, but I do know that a ton of guys I think are great are still out there and will be gone at 94. If you like a guy, move up and grab him; don’t wait for God to put him in your lap (which seems to be the FO’s draft strategy).

by helpVY on Apr 26, 2009 9:39 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm still bitter

we didn’t move up and grab Dsean last year. If nothing else, just for a KR.
But, again, I think they handled yesterday really well. I had Britt higher than Nicks. But I’m not Brocado. Seriously.

Lacks prototypical height, bulk, and top-end speed for the position.

Overall footwork is a bit inconsistent. Doesn’t stay low in backpedal and can be a second late breaking on the ball as a result. Recovery speed is marginal.

Dig it

McGrath notes from nfl.com:

Positives: Rangy build with plenty of room for additional growth. … Good instincts. … Flows to the action quickly and puts himself in position to make a play. … Reads the quarterback’s eyes in coverage. … Recognizes the screen and draw and isn’t fooled often. … Good speed to the flanks. .. Reliable open-field tackler who can break down in space and make the secure stop. … Good agility to slip past blockers. … Good balance to handle working through trash. … Flashes some aggression taking on blocks, though he needs more consistency in this area. … Improved in this area as a junior.

Negatives: Undersized. … Lacks bulk in both his upper and lower body and looks more like a strong safety than a middle linebacker. … Lacks the straight-line speed and hips for coverage to make the transition to defensive back. … Likes to avoid blockers rather than forcefully taking them on. … Drag-down tackler who only occasionally shows legitimate pop as a tackler. … Bit of a pile jumper. … Often credited for tackles in which he didn’t make the play.

Troy Kropog

Notes:

Positives: Eases out of his stance in pass protection. Good lateral quickness and balance to mirror the defender. Good depth on his kick-step and can accelerate laterally if beaten off the snap. When he uses his hands, can be effective latching on and riding the pass rusher wide. Good burst off the snap to block down and to get to the second level. Flashes agility in space to block on the move. Good effort and surprising straight-line speed to make blocks downfield.

Negatives: Only marginal initial quickness off the snap for pass protection. Often beaten off the snap and has to rely on his kick-step and speed to recover. Marginal upper-body strength to sustain blocks. Absorbs, rather than delivering blows while in pass protection and can be walked back into the pocket. Better blocking on the move than as a drive blocker. A bit thick around the middle. Could struggle with the adjustment in speed at the NFL level.

Also

Troy prepared for the draft at D-1 here in town, along with several ex-Titans so the FO is probably very familiar with him by now. I know several people around D-1 who spoke very highly of him as a man and a player. I like this pick a lot.

They won't want LenDale now....

….that they have Beanie.

However, the Cook pick – along with the Todd Heap and second-round pick for Boldin talk – leads me to wonder (or perhaps just hope) that a Scaife (or Crumpler) + pick(s) for Boldin deal might not be entirely off the table?

Maybe I’m dreaming……but I’m allowed. It would make sense when you already have two Pro Bowl TEs and then draft one that you could make a deal like that……
