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.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
