Is it just me or does this draft seem a bit weak?

do you cut Williams? I dont know if you can get anything worth having via trade. Maybe a second day draft pick. Do you force him to LB? Could he crack the starting lineup at LB for the Boys?

I like the quality OL and RB depth. I'm glad the Texans don't need a WR, because that's where this draft is dull.

There is depth at RB but is it a lot of great runningbacks, no.

James Davis and Kevin Smith are late 2nd/early 3rd Round RBs. They're steals to whoever lands them.

NW Missouri State RB Xavier Omon and UL-Monroe RB Calvin Dawson are 4th Round steals.

There is no Barry Sanders in this draft, but the quality is definitely there. A couple of sleepers here.

Asside from McFadden, Jones, and Mendenhall this draft is average as far as RBs go.

Don't count one of the little guys out. You can always find quality RBs in the later rounds. RB is the one position where you don't need a 1st/2nd Round pick. There's a reason that RB is the easiest position for a player to make the transition from level to level.

What street would you be on?

If anything, the Titans trade down to land Manningham.

Manningham is their"Plan B" he is a good possession Wr. D Mac will be a good deep threat as well as a Special Teams threat.

Maybe you have information that I don't. I feel the Titans need more than RB help right now. If pigs started to fly and McFadden fell to #25, then I'd say pull the trigger on the guy, but since that isn't happening I see nobody the Titans can offer up to move up that high.

I'm sure he does....your information is obvious :p

I heard that if Billy Pittman does not get drafted, that VY has told Fischer that he wants Billy brought in as a free agent.

Also heard months ago that Billy would be moved to DB at the next level.

if that's the case, then they could just bide their time and pick felix jones instead, in the second round

Possesion WR? What!?!? If he is a possesion WR, so is Jerry
