Apparently Wes Rucker is in the hospital and can't walk due to a complex migraine. Scary stuff. Hope he's okay.

The good news is that there's a 99.9 percent chance Wes will be fine. The bad news is that he probably wishes he was dead.

The very first migraine I had made me think I was actually dying (I was 100 percent convinced I needed urgent care or I'd die very soon). I hurt so bad I actually went to the hospital (only time I've ever been). My roommate had to pull over several times so I could puke and even when I was waiting in the ER I'd have to go to bathroom and hurl. I honestly thought I was dying. The pain and the symptoms are so off the charts that it truly is crazy. After several tests to make sure my brain wasn't actually exploding, they gave me a shot that made it impossible to walk but helped the pain. I was sent home with an RX and ordered to give it a few days before I went anywhere. I was also ordered to only consume clear foods and drinks (basically broth and water).

It was was the most painful experience I've ever had. And while I still get migraines, now that I'm on meds for them I can usually dull them before they get to that point. To this day when I get bad migraines there's nothing that compares to the pain. They are terrible things.

As a side note: The interesting thing about migraines is that we still don't know much about them. As a sufferer they're like brain explosions (imagine having an explosion + tornado and thunderstorm in your head). Hell sometimes there's even a show: odd hallucinations/perceptions and stuff. Rooms can spin and swirl and things can just be all messed up.

I literally can't watch old games that we lost. It hurts almost as bad as watching it live and ruins my day.

DGB's history of off the field problems supercedes his on the field success, which isn't as substantial as his workout numbers and measureables, IMO.

Draft Gregory.

I rewatched the 2014 Florida game last week and had a feeling of impending doom the entire time.

I actually get that feeling every time I watch us play UF. It's the least enjoyable game of the season to me and not just because we always lose. Don't know what it is about it but I hate that game.

Not to mention the lack of on-the-field time means that - if he even does reach the expected potential - it's going to likely take a few seasons.


Gregory got his issues as well, though.



Why not Strong?

I agree, if looking at talent alone. I just watched highlights of both, and DGB is just on a different level athetically.

He's still got some more development, first. DGB doesn't run a full route tree yet, hasn't really looked/shown himself using his bulk to his advantage when playing receiver, and there's little to no polish on his game as of now...so the athleticism and potential is there, but it might be a few years before it came out, making him more of an investment pick.

@dpbrugler: Two possible picks at No. 33 if #Titans stay put? WR DGB (they did a lot of homework on him) and OT Donovan Smith (coached him at SR Bowl)

While I think they need offensive weapons at WR, I think it will be an OL based on the GM Webster (or if we're taking DGB, it's because he's actually a wreck).

I think it will be a WR now...unless it's not. :) I like the trade though.

I have no idea.

The Titans are an inconsistent bunch. Don't trade the 2nd pick back but are willing to move back from the 33rd with a bunch of good players still on the board.

They needed picks. I don't understand why this is difficult to understand.

I don't like the trade personally. Probably could've gotten more. I bet they could've gotten a 2016 first rounder from somebody that needs a DE.

This is a joke, right?
