1st Round #14 Justin Hunter 6'4 196 lbs WR Tennessee- I know many of you think that this is a reach here at 14 and he may be available in the 2nd round but I'm not willing to take that risk. This guy has everything to me. He has measurables and production, and I want to see cam throwing touchdowns to this guy on Sundays.

2nd Round #44 Jesse Williams 6'4 323 lbs DT Alabama- This guy is big and can stuff the run which is exactly why we need. On top of that he isn't bad at getting penetration from the middle if this guy is available at 44 then I think we jump at the opportunity.

4th Round #108 Brennan Williams 6'6 318 lbs OT North Carolina- This is a guy who I feel could make a push for a starting role this year. He had a 2nd round grade before the beginning of the season but is now expected to fall to the fourth. He could be a steal at a position of need. If he can start then Bell could move inside and we would have an improved offensive line.

5th round #108 Terry Hawthorne 6'0 196 lbs CB Illinois- This guy has all the measurables you would want in a CB. He's big and he runs a 4.31 40 yard dash. The reason he isn't getting drafted earlier is because of technique. I think we will take a risk on a guy who has all the physical ability in the world and just needs some technique and discipline refinement.

6th round #180 Tony Jefferson 5'11 213 lbs FS Oklahoma- This is us just taking a fly at a position of need. He didn't do well at the combine but if he works out then great but this pick has low expectations.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!

looks good to me. i like the first three picks a lot. bit of a reach for hunter, but oh well. we improve at WR, DL, and OL.

i actually think we're more likely to find hunter in the 2nd than jesse, but if we wind up with both guys i'd be fine...doesn't matter where we get them.

Yea, I'd like it. At the moment, Hunter at #14 seems like a reach but I fully believe in a year or two we'll look back and he will have been easily the best WR from this class. Next two picks improving the trenches is vital and solid picks at those spots (though if Hankins is there in the 2nd like the common perception seems to be right now I'd much prefer him). Finishing up with a couple secondary players with high ceilings is a good way to wrap it up. Jefferson was once thought to be the top Safety in this draft, so if he's there in the 6th he's well worth it.

yeah, jefferson's slide is pretty surprising.

might end up being a greg hardy type resurrection.

I am a Vols fan, watched all of his games...he is a guy that could be really good when he learns better route running and stops running backwards after he catches the dang ball. I would not pick him with the 14th pick, you want a guy you know will be good for a long time. Plus, this might have been said before but he looks an awfully lot like Lafell...who is just fine since Olsen is really our #2 receiving threat. Love the Jesse Williams pick, Brennan Williams is good too.

Hunter's route running is actually pretty good. He's got a solid route tree showing the ability to run a variety of routes including posts, digs, flys, corners, jets and crossing routes. He also is really smooth out of his breaks, and makes really precise cuts instead of rounding off his routes. Biggest problem with hunter is he seems to lose focus if things aren't going his way. I think the comparison to LaFell is pretty weak honestly. LaFell in the NFL is mainly a possession receiver, Hunter has the tools to be a gamebreaker....

Hunter's a reach, while Je. Williams is a stretch to still be on the board at that pick. That being said I like both players, and in addition I'm a big fan of Brennan Williams as well. I'd certainly take this draft.

Yeah I agree he's a reach but I really think the pats are going to take him with their pick in the first or someone like the jets at the top of the second. But if Williams isn't there then Hankins is fine as well

I doubt Hunter is there when the Pats pick. If the Pats end up with a WR in the first I think it's Rober Woods or Keenan Allen....I could see Hunter going to Pittsburgh or Minnesota if Austin/Patterson are off the board....

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
