Your giving the OL way too much credit for CJ's 2,000 yards.

Washington led the team in TD receptions and was 2nd on the team in catches and yards.

Not saying he is great but Damien Williams just doesn't make sense to me...other, more pressing needs for this team than picking up a 4th receiver.

Even if you include Washington, there's still a huge fall off: Britt Washington/Gage....then Hawkins and Mark Jones I believe

I'd say their only bigger need would be CB but I'm not sure there's one here left you can guarantee is good; the fact that Williams has return experience probably helped make the decision too

Just doesn't make sense man, why not get someone that can help you right away?

When has Vince Young ever even went to the fourth receiver in his progression? I mean really?

I guess you wouldn't like the fact that they tried to trade up to draft him, luckily for them he was still available.

Fisher's interview said he mentioned “all-around tremendous athlete,” a “complete receiver,” a good kick returner and a “very talented punt returner


there you go; that's why they want him, to contribute in the latter immediately

they absolutely butchered that part of the game last year; those of you who saw the Titans-Jets game will completely understand

Damian Williams, Titans return man - AFC South Blog - ESPN

The Titans looked into trading up for Damian Williams and couldn’t pull it off. So they were thrilled he was around at No. 77 in the third round.

Jeff Fisher said Tennessee liked the fifth receiver taken in the draft so much they thought he would not make it through the middle of the second round. A skeptic might say part of that is surely to make things look better for a team that was without a second rounder, but I’m no skeptic.

Fisher called Williams an “all-around tremendous athlete,” a “complete receiver,” a good kick returner and a “very talented punt returner.”

He will have every chance to help solve things at a spot the Titans absolutely butchered last season.

His arrival surely spells doom for the long-lasting Paul Williams, the 2007 third-rounder who was on the practice-squad last year and could mean the end for slow-to-catch-on Lavelle Hawkins (a fourth rounder from 2008).

God I forgot about Paul Williams; anything that can get rid of him at this point

Kenny Britt did alright as a rookie.

That's why I said most

I like what Britt did and his pick; but WRs rookie year and early success with the Titans just dont go hand in hand

I think before Britt, the last Titan to maybe get significant numbers his rookie season was Kevin Dyson

I agree that our WR are weak, very weak in fact, so it seems like you would want to upgrade them right?

But when you run the ball as much as the Titans do and have a QB who likes to throw to his TE as much as VY does...why draft a guy in the 3rd?

Could have easily have gotten a guy that would have been just as productive later in the draft.

I'm actually also just glad if he's as good as he's supposed to be return-wise; I dont have to remind you of Mouton right?

also read all the stuff put up on page 82

Unfortunately, if it looks like it's going to be with the return duties; that gets rid of my hope that the titans take brandon james late

Apparently the Pats had called Everson Griffen before trading to Carolina.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised if they drafted him tomorrow.

They still got TE Jared Cook to develop as a weapon.
