Titans get big time WR today

[TNLonghorn]

WTF?!?!?!

Way to step it up for VY guys!

 

[UTxOrange]

Seriously...a receiver they got rid of a few seasons ago and now was cut by the team they traded him to.

Awsome

 

[UTgrad_KUlaw]

He's an upgrade over their best receiver last year.

 

[TheContractor]

How many #3 and #4 WRs can one team have on a roster?

 

[Horns11]

They could seriously draft 4 WRs and 3 OL guys this year, and be a better team for at least one season.

Bud Adams threw in a used Buick Le Sabre, and a case of Earl Campbell sausage; that sealed the deal.

I'm not sure even Vince can overcome the Titans' management.

Anything is better than what they've got. Heck I think I might have a chance to make that team as a WR. And I'm only 5'9".

The Titans are looking to build from within and maximize talent on the roster, which until recently was very low overall. That means not overpaying for mediocre players (which usually happens by overpaying for FAs at positions of need) and building through the draft. The jury is out on whether the new FO is drafting smart (I have my doubts), but it is a solid strategy.

It is frustrating for VY fans to see what he has to work with, but overpaying for mediocre WRs will impair our ability to acquire and retain legitimate stars, at whatever position we can find them. If missing out on a Hackett or Young means having the money to lock down Haynesworth and Roos, and extend Van Den Bosch and Stewart, the choice is pretty damn obvious to me.

Teams like the Pats can afford to sign for need, because they are stacked, and FAs will take discounts for the shot at a title. We have to keep building and hope WR, like other weak positions on our roster, can get filled by stopgaps, bargain FA finds, and draft picks. Frustrating, but necessary in the long run. If the FO has ****** drafts, we will start sucking pretty soon, and that may well happen, but criticizing the overall strategy is misplaced, IMO. That part is solid.

I guess Joe Jeravicous wasn't available
