Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Just Call Me Ichabod Edition
MLB Stephen Tulloch wants a new contract, and he's not talking about the $2.5 million RFA tender we offered last month. Tully still hasn't signed that offer, but I would expect him to do so before too long. There's also an update on the linebacking group as a whole, where basically there's no new news for anyone on Bulluck or Thornton.
This week's Friday Jam features one of the best live band you'll ever see, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, doing their song Ichabod. Seriously though, if these guys come through your town you owe it to yourself to check out their unique brand of hell-bent rockabilly played with a double bass drummer.
Sergio Kindle is headed into town to work-out for the Titans, and Jim Wyatt also has a larger list of non-local players we're brining in to evaluate up close and personal:
• Ole Miss RB Dexter McCluster
• Florida CB Joe Haden
• Boise State CB Kyle Wilson
• Oklahoma State CB Perrish Cox
• Texas WR Jordan Shipley
• Florida State CB Patrick Robinson
• Texas Christian DE Jerry Hughes
• Florida Atlantic QB Rusty Smith
• Louisiana Lafayette DE Hall Davis
• N.C. State C Ted Larsen
Follow us through the jump for more draft related goodness...
City Paper reporter David Boclair takes a look at the current secondary, who have a startling lack of size.
Now this, I dig: PFW has published a draft value chart based upon what they're hearing from around the league, not their own evaluations. In this format, rather than arbitrarily rank each player, the lump like players based on where they should go in a round. I love this whole move because it's much closer to what several teams actually do. When you just rank them Mel Kiper-style you never know what the distance is in terms of talent between those numbers.
If you want to talk Boom or Bust in the 2010 draft, you have to start the conversation with Jason Pierre-Paul and Taylor Mays. Both young men are physical freaks who by all accounts lack the recent production to justify how high they may get drafted. PFW takes a look at the conundrum from a scouts point of view.
"If I was a general manager, I probably would take Colt McCoy (of Texas) first because there's less questions about him," Dungy said in a video posted to his Web site, AllProDad.com.
This bow-tie wearing joker from the AJC has Tim Tebow going 9th in the draft. Just let that one sink in for a minute. Of course, he also has us taking JPP and the Steelers taking Jimmy Clausen.
Super-contributor rwinston must be telling us something about who he wants us to pick by sending me this link to a Scout.com article praising Rutgers CB Devin McCourty. I'll admit that I like the idea of having twin brothers on the team, if the Titans take Devin at the right spot (like after trading back). It would instantly harken back to the Rolle brothers era.
I hope bad things continue to happen to Shawne Marriman, but this is simply awesome: Rich Eisen is the man. Also, is it just me, or is Merriman looking about 20 lbs. less... steroidy these days?

Tebow.
If Tebow fell to us at 16 we’d be a fool not to take him. We could easily train him up to play DE and CB. He could probably play both simultaneously, in which case we could also teach him to play LB.
Defensive problems solved.
Two words for gramsey712 if the Titans draft Tebow:
Lions. Fan.

Saints or Ravens!
They got charisma & playoff presence

I just lost every shred of respect I had for you
I may not like the Titans if we draft Tebow, but I would still hate the Ravens. And the Patriots. And the Rams. And the Colts.
There are just some things you don’t do. Cheer for the Ravens is on that list.

He's a QB

McCluster
Why would we even need a defense if we had both him and CJ? We would score 50 point a game.

The Legendary Shack Shakers..
I haven’t heard much of their music, but I really enjoy the CB Song.
I know we’re desperate for defensive players, but I wouldn’t mind seeing us take Dexter or Dez, or any unique offensive player who can make an immediate impact .. should they be there at 16. The draft seems to be deep on defense, but with the loss of a 2nd rounder that makes it more difficult to do.
The Shack Shakers come through Memphis every year
and blow the roof off the Hi-Tone Cafe. It’s good stuff to see live.

Dungy...
I feel bad for Sam Bradford apparently he rather is not a christian or not christian enough for Tony Dungy to like him.
Taylor Mays > Eric Berry
dungy would hate me then

Bradford is a Christian
Dungy also thinks he’d be great too. He seems to think that Colt has “less questions,” though, so I’m assuming it’s because Bradford didn’t play virtually all season with a twice injured shoulder.

HADEN, ROBINSON, WILSON, COX, MCLUSTER, & SHIPLEY
Here we go CB, here we go….Finally news I like. Anyone (Or Two) of names above is sufficient…
With the Browns trading for Sheldon Brown
Our chances of gettting Haden just increased. Its still a long shot, but hey, we can dream.

Jordan Shipley in the 3rd round?
Yes please.
Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
In Morey We Trust.
Indeed
We need a reciever with good hands to compliment britt.
by vancouverTITAN on Apr 2, 2010 3:52 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Good old white receiver with good hands, just like welker. I believe he ran a 4.3 40 at the combine as well
He's that fast?
He runs great routes as well…
by vancouverTITAN on Apr 2, 2010 5:34 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
actually he ran a 4.57
but he’s really more quick and agile than just straight line speed. he’s got awesome hands and is a good route runner, but most importantly he is a great return guy at both punt and kick-off returns. I’m happy they brought him in for a work out.

nevermind not at the combine, i knew i remembered the time from somewhere. he ran a 4.37 in high school.
oh let's not start this again
We all know Carlos has a skin color fetish, just move along. There were like 80 posts the last time this started. My tired old cracker eyes couldn’t keep up.
Hmmm, some caucasian WR in the NFL should follow the ocho cinco model and have his last name legally changed to Cracker.
So the Bills are going to solve theirs QB problems
By drafting a player that at best is a two year project. Explain that to me please.
I'm not a VY fanboy, I'm a VY supporter
they're a bad franchise.
but not that bad!

I think maybe Jacoby Ford would be a good use for our second 3rd round pick.

Players I'd like to see drafted this year...
WR Jordan Shipley, S Javier Aerenas, and RB Montario Hardesty. That would give us a steady possession receiver, a solid safety and return specialist, and a REAL power RB – so Lendale White can go back to Pete Carroll.
agreed on the Hardesty pick
as long as it’s round 5 or later, and his injury history may push him that far down…

More CBs on that list
than any other…
Anyone leaning towards us grabbing a CB with our first pick?
I am….
