All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

So today I saw the following statement:
What's the point of having a good o-line if they never find the guy who plays behind center?
That mirrors other sentiments over the past couple months that go something like,
"Why draft a QB if he has no one to throw it to and/or no LT?"
"Why draft a WR if there's

I just dont see the value of first round RB's. They take a pounding, last 4 or 5 years, body br eaks down and your looking for a replacement. RB's can be found in later rounds. We need a 1st round pick that will be a impact starter for 8 plus years!
QB
OT
DT
DE
I would add Center and LB to the list but not at 9, just my thoughts! Whitner at 8 has really paid off!
Ted Washington was huge but a brick ****house in the chest,legs & arms. Cody is flabby everywhere and looks like he'll be gassed by the end of the first quarter. I saw the Tenny game also, where he blocked the 2 kicks. That doesn't equal a 16 game season.
Another project/potential boom or bust guy. I've had it with that ilk.

Exactly my thinking...
Plus, for those thinking a Chris Johnson type of player would help us win... The Titans didnt start winning until VY stepped in.
If we cant find a franchise QB or LT early in this draft, we need to find a NT. RB is a luxury pick we simply dont have to waste.
no thanks on Spiller.... just dont see a RB making much of a difference without much of a line to help him out.
But assuming Okung, Bulaga, T. Williams, Suh, McCoy, and Bradford are all gone... I'd love to grab Dan Williams... or trade down if possible
what do you mean by "much of a line"?
We signed Hangartner last offseason who turned out well, drafted our RG with our first round pick, drafted a LG with our second round pick and just recently signed a run blocking RT.
So I think yer statement about the OL is a bit extreme. We are only missing 1 position and that is not a deterrent to drafting possibly the top playmaker in the draft.
Dan Williams will not be it. One year track record and that goes against everything Nix has preached.
Williams played in 6 games in 2006. Then Dan Williams started 10 of 14 games in 2007 and had 40 tackles. He started 9 of 12 games in 2008 and had 48 tackles. Then obviously he really exploded onto the scene this year with 62 tackles in 12 games.
I wouldn't call him a "one-year wonder" since he played four years at Tennessee. He was pretty clearly under the radar until this season, but to call him a one year wonder isn't really accurate.

He was considered a mid to late round pick heading into his senior year. Granted, he had a great senior year, but, after what nix/modrik said (especially about how they wouldn't have drafted Maybin) I don't see them taking him. If so, they know a hell of a lot more than me, but, from everything they've said, I think they go will a guy that has been top tier for 3-4 years.

I know what he was considered prior to this season; he was under the radar and a monster senior year propped him up. I was merely pointing out that he did have year-to-year production and wasn't a "one year wonder" like Maybin. The two extra years of production that Williams had is the difference between drafting a red shirt sophomore like Maybin and a red shirt senior like Williams.
