He’s back in less than 1/2 a year. I bet the titans are pissed that they wasted a few months waiting for Jeffery Simmons to recover from his torn acl. Meanwhile we passed on him and took Ed. Ed is a monster in his own right, but Simmons > Ed right now. There is no doubt. 3 hours ago, mannc said: I don’t think the Titans regret drafting Jeffrey Simmons in the first round after he tore his ACL two months before the draft. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0neguy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think Beane goes BPA in the first round. This last season we could see the defense improve with Star in there. We need a 1 tech to be available, Star isn’t it. We’ll be taking a big guy this year. I trust the front office to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even that type of guy. There aren't a lot of good space eaters around. Or even alive. Lots of decent 1-techs? Yeah, maybe. But that's not the same thing. Oh Jordan Phillips was that guy at Oklahoma Lance Zuerlein on Phillips............"Read-and-react two-gap nose with ability to eat space and free linebackers". Final NFL.com mock draft in Phillips year: 39. Chicago Bears:Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma That transition to the 3-4 just got a lot easier with the large, but surprisingly athletic, Phillips clogging up the middle. Davis got an extra bump in attention this year playing on the #1 defense in the nation for most of the year but make no mistake........very similar players entering the league.......Phillips declared early but he and 4 year player Davis final year stats were very similar. Being tall like Davis and Phillips makes it difficult to have the leverage to be a true NT/space eater in the NFL. FWIW........Danny Shelton was the NT/space eater rated and drafted ahead of Phillips in that draft.........Shelton is an actual space eater who has bounced around the league and had his moments........he played on a vet min deal with NYG last year and is also a forgotten free agent if all you need is a big run stuffer. They ain't worth much once you drive them off the lot............but hey...........let's use a first round pick on one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked how this guy played in the other thread too.........but Noah Ellis is a very high pedigree prospect..........he was actually a 4 star recruit while Jordan Davis was only a 3 star. If Ellis stays in the SEC (I think he was originally committed to Ole Miss or Miss St) maybe he's the top NT in the draft class..........it's a position where it's easy to get lost in the college game.

TheFunPolice Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 There's way too much text in some of these posts. Makes me think it's all the reasons why we don't get a mountain of a man at DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
