Round 1 discussion

[TitanTuff]

I also agree with you guys about the Bears messing up the trade options for us.

Adams went 6 and Howard went 19. Each right after our pick. That is what I wanted.

But I trust in JRob. We got 2 kick azz footballers. The best receiver in the class (they compared his skills to T.O. in his post interview). And a playmaker CB who is pure electricity returning punts (no kickoffs). Bucky Brooks called Adoree a combination of Asante Samuel & Devin Hester

I love the trend of JRob's picks. You must have had an amazing college career. Not just a splash play every once in a while. Or little game time etc. Both of our picks were accredited workhorses in college (Jim Thorpe Award Winner, 5000 receiving yards the most by an FBS player, etc.).

I admittedly wasn't a big fan of the Adoree pick when it first happened, because I wanted OJ really badly. However, it does feel really good to come out of the first day with two of our biggest needs addressed. Adoree can also impact the game in all 3 facets which is huge. So, we were ultimately able to improve in all 3 facets of our team tonight with 2 picks. That's a pretty big deal. Jake Butt and Sidney Jones would be two guys I'd strongly consider tomorrow if they make it to the third. I could see somebody jumping on Sidney Jones in the 2nd though. I still find it unbelievable that his doctor said he's going to be ready to play in September after a torn Achilles.

So I am thinking TE and LB in 3rd. What are you guys thinking?

After sleeping on it I'm okay with the Davis pick even though I wanted Adams/a trade down but I'm still not liking the Jackson pick. I really wanted OJ Howard there at 18.

Hoping we trade up for Sidney Jones. Or he falls to us.

[TitanSlim]

You could say our biggest weaknesses last year was our SPT, Secondary, and WR play.

We have (at least attempted to) addressed all 3 of those weaknesses with our two picks last night.

Also, Robinson's comment the other day at the predraft PC about the depth of this TE class made me feel that we wouldn't take 1 in the first round.

What are the early projections on the 2018 draft class - ie is it as deep as this one? Pretty much the only way we get into the 2nd today is giving up next year's 2. It may make sense to try and do that, but maybe we just roll the dice on 4 guys in the top 3 rounds.

[tntitans4life17]

Overall, I am pleased with how the first round shook out. I think Davis was the best WR available. I know some are saying 5 was high for him, but when Williams and Ross go 7 and 9, there was absolutely zero chance one of those 3 would have been there at 18.

Had the Browns made a trade for us to get up to 5 and we got 12 MAYBE one of those guys make it, but the Browns obviously didn't love any of the QBs enough to make a move like that/the offers they made to try the moves got topped by other offers. With how Cleveland played this draft, I doubt their offer was anywhere close to what the Bears gave up to get to 2 and take Trubisky and San Fran likely didn't want to go all the way back down to 12.

I think that with how the picks in front of us fell, and what happened immediately after as well, Davis was a solid pick at 5. Adams would've been a great pick as well but Davis and WR was the bigger need.

As for Adoree, I think that while we may have reached on him at 18, I am going to trust the guys in the front office that they saw something in him. I think Robinson hasn't done anything yet to make me question draft picks like that.

I was hoping we would trade down but I also don't think we would've/should've traded down if the offer wasn't what we wanted. Again, with how the draft fell and so many of the top guys falling, there wasn't any sense of urgency for teams to trade up from the back end of the first round.

I think Davis is going to be our #1 guy for 10-12 years and taking a guy like that has been a need for this team for years.

For Jackson, I think at worst we have an elite special team player and someone you can plug into a few offensive plays for a spark. He has some issues that need fixing to be a great coverage guy but I don't think they would've taken him if they didn't think he was coachable. He has elite athleticism and if you can get him to improve his technique, he will be a special player on defense.
