Titus Young


Joan Jett

Recommended Posts

Dwayne Harris has fallen out a flavor and could be had in the 3rd and on. Don't know how much of an immediate he would make.

I'm very high on Titus Young. I thought of him as an underrated playmaker. Looks like he is blowing up and his draft status is soaring now.

Also hearing that Leonard Hankerson is tearing it up at the Senior Bowl. Another option that should be available after the 3rd.

Here's what rotoworld says about Titus Young at the Senior Bowl practice:

2) Titus Young (WR Boise State) had five drops during the practice session and was subsequently dogged by the coaching staff. However, he also turned in a couple of great plays and hauled in a touchdown. His stock is currently sitting in a group of five or six high mid-round prospects. He can certainly carve out his niche in the NFL as a short route demon and punt returner, but he needs to consistently catch the ball.

After watching as much video on him as I can find, I don't see any reason to think he can be special. His video wasn't impressive, really. Maybe if we didn't already have a vet and 2 high potential youngins. The only reason I see to draft another WR is if it's a probable star with potential through the roof and that has already shown that he's a playmaker. There's only one of those in this draft and his last name rhymes with PEEN.

Hank is gone in the 2nd at the latest. The only way he falls that low is if he test really poorly.

Most folks have him sneaking in the bottom of the second round or more likely the third. People have him anywhere from the 4th to 8th best receiver in the draft. He is a great catching WR and is very fast but isn't particularly big and has trouble in press coverage and against bigger DBs.

I think Hank is gone in the 2nd at the earliest. He's a long strider and doesn't have much quickness or shiftiness. He also has a case of the dropsies. But I'll agree that he will not make it out of the 3rd.

OT- I'm a Canes fan too!!

Tell me about it, the year we lose it.. of course its basically a first round pick, even worse to the Pats.. I still can't get over it lol.

Yeah it sucks but it could be worse. Imagine if we traded up for Clausen! Hurney was trying to do it. <--- sick to stomach sucks

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
