The #Titans are moving on. Source says they plan to start Zach Mettenberger (as @jwyattsports said). He took increased 1st team snaps today

10:54pm - 22 Oct 14

Only two of the entire draft class are starters in the NFL, Newton and Kaepernick.

Edit:And Dalton, so three

4 quarterbacks taken within the top 15 picks.

 

Newton

Locker

Gabbert

Ponder

 

It's almost unbelievable to think back at just how much the press built up Gabbert. The guy was basically hot garbage in college.

 

It's because Gabbert had/ has all the physical measurables. Though on film he didn't look pro ready.  There's a big difference between running an uptempo spread in college, and trying to beat an exotic blitz against an NFL 3-4 that's playing a man-zone combination.  Not only that.....he got drafted by Jacksonville.

 

That said....even though Gabbert has been a bust up to this point,  I think he might have a little bit of a renaissance after a little time in San Fran.  He looked good when he came in for Kaepernick in garbage time.  Couple years with the 49ers as a backup and he might actually end up developing.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
