Karlaftis was guy I thought was BPA when the Raiders were on the clock, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on another DE when the team already has Crosby and Ngakoue and so many other problems that need fixing. [Reply]
The Tennessee Titans select Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas
Julio Jones is getting old and injury prone. Titans look to add another weapon in the passing game to compliment AJ Brown. IOL is also an issue but the Tits want to grab a WR before they are left with slim pickings. [Reply]

Done.
I’ll send the PM too.
As for my Bucs pick - thatnks a lot, Ali Marpet. What the hell, man?
1st round guard - blech.
I liked Johnson's feet and functional strength more than Green here. I know Green seems to be the consensus top G in this draft but I just think Johnson brings a much broader tool set to the table. I think he'll be able to do anything you ask of a guard whereas I think Green may be a little more scheme specific.
Not knowing how long Arians intends to coach or what the Bucs will even be in a post-Brady world, I had to have a guy that can be anything I need him to be at that position going forward. I just don't buy the consensus opinion right now - I think Johnson's the better bet. [Reply]
"Okay, we're not going to make a big show out of this. We're just going to make our pick and go home, not show a bunch of video or hug or cry like a bunch of pansy-a**es.
We're not going to pick some prima donna quarterback because we've already got a quarterback. And a quarterback only needs one wide receiver if he's playing it right, so we're not taking one of those. This is football, a man's sport. We're going to take someone who blocks or tackles or one of those other manly things.
In fact, we're going to take someone who can do everything, and if you don't like it, we'll see how you like my foot up your a**.
