DGB Traded to the Igles


Ricky Spanish

Recommended Posts

For those who clamored to draft this guy last year, the Titans have already given up on him and traded for what is the Eagles equivalent to Byron Bell. 

DGB had apparently fallen down the depth chart and was being supplanted by a 5th round rookie. 

Also, I'm not sure if we're still in offseason mode or not, but mods please feel free to move it to NFL discussion if it's that time of year again.

wow really

that guy was gonna be the next randy moss according to several people on this site

It's pretty surprising tho because last thing I remember is him being pretty promising last year and him getting back into football shape so he must not be getting what those coaches are dishing out. 

On a side note Derrick Henry looks like a stud for them. He's probably gonna destroy our second and third string Saturday.

Most Titan fans are upset which they should be. We all know the leaps Funchess has made but DGB did have a comparable season stats wise. 

The titan front office had some concerns and him coming into camp out of shape solidified those concerns, along with him being out of position numerous times last season. 

IMO the titans moved on to quickly but only time will tell. But the Eagles did get him for a career backup with 15 starts in 4 years

I would bet DGB played many more snaps than Funch, and probably a fair amount of production in garbage time.

Apparently he has been giving no effort in camp and the coaches didn't want him there.  

Rishard Matthews, Andre Johnson, Tajae Sharpe, Kendall Wright, and Justin Hunter were all ahead of him on the depth chart.  Not to mention Tre McBride sounds like he's won people over as well.

Probably off the field reasons. He showed promise on the field, but he was drafted with plenty of off field concerns and I'm sure the front office probably had him on a pretty short leash. 

Read the Titans board. He came into camp overweight, and has problems running their route tree. Lots of pissed off fans because the guy is so physically talented and think they cut bait wayyy too early for a shitty OL player.

also think they got a new GM over there who apparently is cut throat and are trying to build their lockerroom up. Honestly they are trying to mirror us.

Did the Titans really need him? I doubt it.

Check out their receiver depth chart. It's nothing to write home about.

Back when people were saying our receiving corps was one of the worst in the league, the Titans were often neck and neck.

That's the problem. According training camp reports he didn't make the leap that funchess made. Sharpe out played him. This kind of remind me or the Trent Richardson trade.

I liked Kendall Wright, but it looks like he's fallen out of flavor too.

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
