It would make a LOT of sense for the Titans IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if the wheels start falling off of Henry soon. That running style takes its toll. There aren't many Jerome Bettis and Jamal Lewis types that last long-term running like that.

Even though Henry is only 27 and Jones is 32, they might be on similar career timelines.

 

Which means they also qualify as a team going for it this year. And expect their first round draft pick to be at or at least near the very bottom of the round

Your comment makes me think of Earl Campbell.  Probably the best running back I saw, at least for five or so years.

Very possible, in fact, probably likely....BUT Henry could also be the next Adrian Peterson/Frank Gore/Bettis type of guy who kicks ass well into his 30s.  Its crazy that hes only 27.  I feel like I have been seeing him truck guys for 12 years now.

I saw a story where Earl Campbell was hit by a truck a couple of years ago.

Word was the truck survived but it needed a lot of repair work.

When reports start getting specific about the amount of trade capital (1st rounder) and expected time (next week) it sometimes can be the team looking to trade the player trying to create interest.  I’m not saying that is the case all of the time but definitely sometime.

I’m thinking a second, but as others have said maybe a first from a really good team who expects to be picking late in the round.

it's a lie 

I believe it is as well. I don't think anyone is giving up a 1st rounder for a 32 year old overpaid receiver. 

What will he realistically add to an offense? 800-1000 yards and 5 or 6 touchdowns for maybe 2 years if that?

He has scored 8 or more touchdowns 4 times over a ten year career and only started all 16 games 3 times.

Anything more than a late 2nd round pick is too much. I think a third is more likely.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
