Oh, hey there. I'm Julian Minnesone. It's falling asleep, but I might as well give you my sleeper picks coming up next. That is right. I'm Kayla Anderson. My sleeper pick actually might have Brad Hopkins giving me a little pat on the back. And I'm wide awake compared to my two co-hosts. I'm ready to give you my sleeper pick too. Tighten up.

Right now, new customers can bet just $5 and get $250 in bonus bets if your first bet wins, head to fanduel.com to get started. And on today's show, we're going to get Bhoff's hop take of the week. We're also going to talk about the positional need rankings for the Titans, which one is our most important need that they need to address in the NFL draft. But the first things first, I wanted to talk sleeper picks.

Everybody's talking about the number four pick and what the Titans are going to do, but they still have eight other picks in this draft. So I'm going to start with you, Kayla. If there is one person, one player that the Titans can get in some of the Titans can get in some of these later rounds that we aren't talking about enough. Who is that and why? Yeah, this one is interesting. I went back and forth with what I wanted to do with this. And I felt like with that right guard position really not completely solidified yet and we don't exactly know what they're going to do. I am looking at a guy by the name of Keelan Rutledge out of Georgia Tech.

Oh, did I take yours, Julian? I got a backup because I figured one of you guys was going to take Keelan Rutley. And I thought, you know what? Maybe I'll be the only one who goes offensive line. I thought maybe Brad would, but I have over the years, Brad, you'll love this. I have grown a lot of respect for offensive linemen and how just important they are to the overall picture when it comes to the offense. And I feel like at this point, the Titans have got to figure out how to bring in talent, let them kind of build together. You've got some older pieces, but honestly, I feel like you could get in some pieces that start to work together and can be there together for a while.

And so bring in some youth. And Keelan Rutledge is one of those guys, 6'4, 316 pounds. And I know Brad said it before, the word dog. He's a guy that gets after it. He's described as tough, as nasty. I think he has incredible, like, elite run game blocking skills, but I think his pass pro is on the up and up, too. When I saw this stat, guys, in 809 pass blocking snaps,

he had zero sacks allowed. This guy is rising in the draft. I still think you could get him in the second round. And again, this could be a guy that maybe even you could put in from the jump, or at least have him there for when he's going to be ready either sometime this season or next season. But I think you could get a lot of value out of this guy for a very long time. You know, Kayla, I do agree with you about offensive line need to be addressed early in the draft. The only thing about it is I'm not sure that they're willing to add to the calamity with that high a pick.

I mean 35, basically. It's not like I feel these two guys, whether it's a slot or the other, the guard there, are the true starters. But at this point, you'd have to go pretty high in the draft to get somebody that can actually compete at that level. Because any free agents that are available right now, they're just not going to be that much better, if at all, than the ones that we've already equal. So that's why I'm kind of tending to lean towards a receiver in this draft. I think edge rusher and receiver are the two imperative positions that they need to address early. So with that, I mean, you've got the bees, as I like to call them. Bernard, Boston, Brasel, and Bell.

Denzel, Chris Brasel, Chris Bell, and Jeremy Bernard. And it's almost take, I would look at Jeremy Bell, Chris Bell basically is probably the best combination of size and speed in this draft, but the torn ACL back in November that kind of makes you kind of draw pause a little bit. Now, Brasel, I mean, he's obviously a ball. He's a deep threat burner. you know what I mean? Someone that can stretch the field.

He did have a case of the drops he's early in the season. Now, as far as Denzel Boston, he's a big body receiver who also likes to block with that size, 6-4-2-12, break ball skills. He's tough. But a guy that's really super versatile is Mr. Bernard there. This kid, he's versatile. He works both the slot and the outside, plus he likes to block. He doesn't have that breakaway speed, but he is a good route runner.

So I'm probably going to go Jeremy Benar from Alabama, simply because, one, he's healthy. Two, he has very versatile skill set inside and out, and he likes to get nasty with the blocking. So maybe they start looking at, you know, maybe more attention to him potentially being the 35th pick. It's funny, you guys, Kayla, you picked Keelan Rutledge, and he was like the top guy on my list. And Brad, you picked receiver, though you didn't say the receiver that I'm going to take for my sleeper pick. and I'm happy about that because I didn't have to want to go to my third potential option. So I'm going to go with another receiver, Ted Hurst, out of Georgia State. I've seen this guy play in person twice, came here to play Vanderbilt last two seasons.

And in a game against a top-tier SEC opponent, he was the best player on the field. He torched Vanderbilt for 128 yards two years ago when they beat them. Georgia State beat them. and then had 71 yards in this past game last season. Runs a 4-4-40, so he's got that top-end speed ability. And the big question, I think, that got answered in those games against Vanderbilt and the consistency that he put throughout the year being an over 1,000-yard receiver, was could somebody from Georgia State play at the NFL level?

That's always the worry with some of those smaller school guys. And I think he put those concerns to bed. And also, when you think of a guy coming from a smaller school, school means he's hungry and he means he wants fruit he belongs and he had some pretty good combine numbers too like i mentioned with that vertical minded speed of 4 424 so if you can get somebody like a ted hurst in the third round at 66. And I say that because if the titans end up picking a jeremiah love and this will lead into our positional need ranking conversation in the next segment if the titans go with a jeremiah

I love, that means they are going to have to sacrifice a premium position need in one of these first few rounds. And what are you going to sacrifice? Is it offensive line? Is it receiver? Is it edge? And if you're able to wait and get a guy like a Ted Hurst in the third round, I think that's a W for the titans.

So that is my sleeper pick. when you guys think about the fourth round of this draft, because the Titans have been pretty good in that round, is that kind of where you see maybe the meat and potatoes of this team being built, perhaps? Yeah, guys, I think that's what Borganzi, too, being from the Kansas City frame of mind in terms of he's a general manager now, but working in the front office there, and what the Kansas City Chiefs have been known for as well back in his time with them is really those

gems that they got in the fourth round. And I think I briefly spoke about that with him when he first got to Tennessee about some of those just really like gems that he was able to find with that front office and then that became starters. And honestly, became starters right away. And so if, If Borganzi was a part of that and maybe has that eye for those big meat and potato rounds, I think he could be really successful here. Finding maybe some of those guys that are, again, if you've got to do the edge or receiver at the top or running back and edge at the top, then you get down to those fourth rounds and you can go get maybe an offensive lineman in there.

you can go maybe get like a nickel corner or something like that where you're really going to have to start to build somewhere with this team depth that at some point you want to have these guys be starters you don't just want them being special teamers and we see a lot of that time the lot of the times during the end of the draft or if you just don't have a really good fourth rounder they just kind of end up being depth pieces that never mean anything and then we've seen it time and time again with the Titans in the past several years, like they're off the roster in a few years or off after their rookie contract or even sooner. So I'm hoping that Borgonzi brings over what he did from Kansas City

and really can build that in the meat of the draft there in the fourth round, particularly. So for me, there's a reason why, Colin, I'll tell you back. So there's a reason why, you know, some say Jeremiah Love isn't a good pick for the Tennessee Titans. And it's not because he's not arguably one of the top five players available as far as regardless of position, you know, one of the best players in the draft. It's because this team isn't ready to accommodate a Jeremiah Love. Just like they weren't ready to accommodate a Derek Henry before we shipped him off to Baltimore. In other words, they're not a compliment up front to be able to give a guy like Jeremiah Love, you know,

all of the things that he needs to have at least an early success in his career. Now, I think they're going to continue to address offensive line until they finally get it right. But at this point, to grab somebody that high in the draft, it would almost be susceptible to what they can be able to do up front. And I wouldn't want to do that to the kid. So I do think that, but that does show you just how unsettled the offensive line actually is, right? Yeah. But who would be available at 35? You know, who would be available?

And when you think about this, though, when you pick a guy at 35 early in a second round, you're saying, hey, this cat can compete. Now, would it be one of the tackles? Maybe not, but is it one of these guys that, this is my also another point I'm going to make. When you look at Spencer Fiano, when you look at Francis Milanoa, what are they saying about it, Kayla? They're saying that these guys

could play either guard or tackle, right? Right. I don't want a guy that can play guard or tackle that high. I want you to be a master of one of those. I want you to be a dog that says, look, I'm the best tackle in this draft. I'm the best guard in this draft. I don't want you to be like, you can do either one.

No, no, no, no. I don't want you to be able to do either one. I want you to be the best at one of them. And when you're talking about these two guys, it'd be easy to shift Sprint and final down the inside, right? But it's not saying he's not a quality enough lineman to take that high. I just think that when you grab the guy that high, that's saying something. That's saying, hey, look, we're not settled in the interior.

We did already have some changeups with Lloyd Cushenberry and I'll be in Buffalo. Kevin Zitler is no longer here. I think he's probably still been available. They got a couple of guys in here that probably don't have as much starts as people would feel comfortable in to say that, they're going to shore our line. There's still question marks for me at left tackle. I think J.C. Latham is still developing and developing nicely, maybe not on the pace that

some would feel comfortable, where you're still doing some things. So I just think the offensive line is a position that it's tricky only because to give that a true investment to it, it's got to be someone that's a high quality pick. And if you're doing that, you really are shaking up the whole, you know, situation. Well, if Mike Borgonzi has proven anything, he can find value like Kayla mentioned in some of those later rounds. Let's not forget the Titans just got Gunnerhound, Chimdek, Eilmanner as well. And so that was a pretty hefty fourth round indeed. Okay, we're going to talk about some of the positional value next on the Titan squad show that Brad was alluding to there.

We'll talk about that as well as which the most important one that the Titans need your address. That's next. Well, it's tax time, but for a lot of us, the old ways of doing taxes is a lot. Trying to book an appointment. That's not the most convenient sitting in a waiting room with stacks of paper. emailing back and forth and wondering if they really get your situation.

Okay, wanted to continue the conversation on positional value here in this draft for the Tennessee Titans. When you think of the needs, obviously the ones that scream out are edge, wide receiver, interior offensive line, maybe linebacker, maybe even corner. So what is at the top of the list that you guys would think the Titans need to address here in this draft? Kayla. Yeah, guys, I've stuck with it since day one. You guys know who I've taken in both the mock drafts that we did. I have to go with Edge. And the reason I say that is because for so many years,

we've been talking about the same position. And we keep on saying, when are they going to find at least one player coming off the edge that can be not only successful just one season or make a difference in one season, but can be your guy, can be, hey, no one's going to compare to Miles Garrett, unless we hit the jackpot, but can be your Miles Garrett for years and years to come where he's not even going anywhere on a Crack Browns team. He's stuck around and done his thing for years, you know, there in Cleveland, and they haven't even been a winning team. So imagine if you get a guy who can be somewhat, you know, productive and consistent for years for the Titans and can be counted on for being that guy in particular

that can get to the quarterback because it's just something they haven't had consistently for a long time. And I say this too because Brad brought up a point. And this was in particular to the second round and finding linemen. But remember last year when, you know, Femi Oladayjo was drafted? And I think the problem that people had when Femi was drafted was he's not a true edge. And I think that people thought, okay, he can be productive at some point, But he's kind of a project. And unfortunately, you know, he had that fracture this past year and he's going to be healing up for that.

And I know he has a chip on his shoulder. And I believe he can be a part of this defense, you know, and find success. But I don't think he's the answer by any means. And then when it comes to a guy like John Franklin Myers that they just went and got in Denver, look, the guy's productive. Seven and a half sacks last year. He's already 29 years old, though. I look at the contracts. None of them are long-term contract solutions necessarily when it comes to that position. I still feel like that edge needs to be sure up that spot.

And just getting a young guy in there if you get them, especially with that number four overall pick, he could be a rock for you for years to come. Well, I think when you ask the question, which need is the most important? You know, office line, edge, wide receiver, other. I'm thinking the most important position to address should be the interior offensive line, but I most certainly don't expect them to address that in the first round. There are no guards or centers we're taking with the number four pick. You know, rarely are there ever that high.

I mean, Leonard Davis was the number two overall pick in 2001. Quentin Nelson in 2006 or 2018 was the sixth overall pick. You got to go back to the 40s before they took anybody that was an interior offensive alignment that made sense. Now, they've already addressed all their needs to some degree through free agency. But there hasn't been that, holy crap, we got that guy acquisition, you know, like a Tyler Linderbaum, you know, who was the 25th pick in 2022, by the way. Or a Trey Hendrickson, a Max Crosby, a Jalen Waddle, that type of impact player. So that leaves players that need developing like early picks in the draft.

And I mentioned, you know, shaking things up and I won't make that gesture again. That's something that they're probably going to have to do at some point in time to legitimately short. up the offensive line. Now the later you get in the draft, the more you're looking at the depth that could turn out to be somebody special, but two, three, those are players that, you know, you kind of expect to develop sooner than later and maybe questionably could challenge the interior of those guys that we just brought him through free agency, because I think Peter Skoronsky is a dog. I think he's probably a pro bowl player in a long time. I already mentioned the tackles, one of which we've invested $80 million over the next couple of seasons. You know,

So it's like they're going to try and milk that cow for all its work, unless it just gets down to the point where, hey, look, we just got to cut bait and just move on and find somebody young to get in there high in the draft. But if that's the case, then we're probably picking four or five anyway. See what I'm saying? So I think that the most important position when you just bring up the discussion would be interior offensive line because think about it, we couldn't take Jeremiah Love because we're not shorn up up front.

We just get the poor kid killed or get Cam Ward, you know, maybe not finishing the season like we'd want to because it's getting knocked around like Will Levis, was. So I think that's the most important position if you're just asking that question. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm landing. And it is because if you do take Jeremiah Love at number four, you are going to need to block up front. And picking a center and then a right guard is not only just to shore up the line, it's to keep your most important asset in your young quarterback healthy. And we saw at the end of this past season, the last stretch of games, how much better the Titans played when the offensive line started to play a little bit more consistent.

Now, I will say this. I don't think to me it was enough of a sample size to take a Jeremiah Love at least that early. I think Ed should be the pick. I think it would be the smarter pick at four. However, if you are going Jeremiah Love, you better be darn sure that not only the pieces you're drafting, but the pieces you have already can show you consistent enough play throughout the season because, like Brad said, really left guard.

with Peter Skoranski is the only place where I feel really comfortable. Not even right tackle with J.C. Latham. I still need to see more from him consistently over the stretch of a ton of games. I want him to be even nastier than maybe we could, we've seen him over these past couple seasons. So I would say the important one to address is up front because it impacts so many other things for this team moving forward, you guys. Yeah.

Yeah. And that's a good point. Go ahead, Kim. No, you're fine. That was a good point. I mean, honestly, I can interchange those and it, offensive line is like right there with edge with me. Like, and for different reasons, we can kind of flip them around. But yeah, I'm with you guys. I think it's, and it has been a position of need for a while in terms of shoring up the line, you know, for the future. It's just kind of been experimenting. And even with a guy like J.C. Latham, I know he's an incredible talent. And I think

He's, it's going to completely click at some point where we're going to find the consistency. But again, guys, he came in here. They switched into left. Then last year, he switched to right. So he's got to give a little, get a little time at one spot too, you know? Sure. It's a good point. Yeah.

You know, I think in the perfect world would be awesome to grab that other book in from Alabama, Caden Proctor. I'm named just like everybody else. I saw him running up in the Wildcat and flexed out on the X and doing all the stuff, right? But then when I also heard J.C. Latham called him and was saying, hey, look, bro, you need to shed the pounds because they're saying you're not passing enough that way. It just shows you there's a connection there, right? So, you know, I remember playing along some really good tackles that ultimately ended up being like some of my best friends. You know, Fred Miller was one of my best friends.

You know, when we got him after they beat us in the Super Bowl, we picked him up. John Runyon was another guy that was drafted along with Jason Lehman, who was I think there were second and third rounds consecutively like that. and John ends up being, you know, a perennial all pro type player. And, you know, for a couple of different franchises, not only us, but the Eagles. So, you know, the good relationship that these tapics can have just, you know, relating to one another, that just shows you the consistency and cohesion that has to take place up front. No, 100%. Okay.

Well, after the break now, we're going to hear more from Brad Hopkins on his hop take. It can be about anything, whether it's the draft, whether it's the current Titans roster, you name it, and he'll dish it out for us on Fee Hopkins. pop take that's next on the Titan Squad show.

I think that is going to be coming soon. We're going to get some beats or something, something cool to lead Bhop into it. But for now, I give you Bhop's hop tip. There we go. You know, junkyard situation. Anyway, so listen, follow me here. Just follow me. I'm thinking the first pick of the Titans in 2026.

will become a pro bowler before the turn of the decade. Now, I'm not calling for them to make it before the rookie contract is completed, but definitely before I turned 60, which is in 2030. Which is in 10 years. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Now, those players could be Ruben Bain Jr.

Okay, it could be Jeremiah Love. I don't expect David Bailey to follow to us at number four or number seven if we trade with commanders, which is what I'm thinking. But these players, in my opinion, will be goofing off playing flag football in the whole city of the Pro Bowl at some point. So regardless of what team these players are playing for, I expect them to have, you know, that kind of careers in the NFL. I think Ruben Bain Jr. can be an exceptional player and carve a name out for himself. They're saying Jeremiah Love and David Bell are franchise type players. So if they're actually on the Titans radar or we're lucky enough to grab one of those guys in David Bailey's case. Jeremiah Love, I do think that we have an option to

have, but just like, we're just not built to take care of him as well as we would need to, to not make it look like, you know, who's the kid, Kayla from Las Vegas, the running back, the really good one. Oh, Ashton Gentie. Exactly. Ashton Gentie. Don't want that situation because that would happen. I mean, you know, Ashton Jit is a beast. He's a monster. It didn't look like in the Raiders uniform, did he? Why? Because the guy's blocking up front. We don't want that to happen with Jeremiah. But I do think that Jeremiah Love, whichever team he goes to, and I'm thinking, let's just say that he goes to the commanders. The commanders have good infrastructure as far as offensive line. They've got versatility as far as the quarterback that

has running and passing capabilities. They've got edge completely Terry McLaugh in the whole line. So they're set offensively, and this kid can shine up there. David Bailey, they're saying this cat might be the best player in the draft bar none. And so to say that David Bailey or Jeremiah Love are going to be pro bowlers, that's almost like conventional wisdom. Ruben Bain, he's our pick at number seven, saying that the Titans trade down from four to seven, giving the commanders what they're looking for, a shot in the backfield, I think that these guys, that Ruben Bain Jr., by the time he turns, I don't know how old he'll be, what, 26? By the time we get to 2030, that cat will be a pro baller.

What do you think, Kayla? Yeah, I mean, look, Bihab, this is what's so fascinating about the draft and why it's really one of my favorite times of the year because you never know what exactly is going to happen. Like we can do all the research we want. We can talk to, you know, people that have covered these guys at their colleges and we can attach them to, you know, even if they had a, like, a lineage in the sport. And you never know exactly how it's going to pan out. But when you have, let's say, a a top pick, top five, top 10 pick, Brad, Julian. You feel like there's a little more of an opportunity to get it right. And you spoke about Peters Kuroski. And as unsexy of a pick it was that

year to talk about, nope, no offense here, Brad, but it wasn't, you know, it's not like talking about a running back or talking about a wide receiver or even an edge. I get it, Caleb. I get it. I get it. I think you're sexy rad. But look at, look at, you know, look at what you guys did as a, as a group when you finally got it right.

And now I think we're eventually going to talk about Peter Skoronski like that. Some of those positions, it takes a little more time. But like you said, if it was a Ruben Bain even, like if we don't get David Bailey, and it's a Ruben Bain, he's at least. considered still a really good talent. And there is a really good opportunity that he could in fact become a pro bowl or an all pro. And that is what they have to do. If you are the Titans and you're continuing to get some of these top picks. And look, Cam Ward is definitely included in this. I mean, he was the number one overall pick last year. They have to get these picks right. They

should all be thinking these are going to be all pros. These, these, you know, two years. that we've drafted high and maybe next year as well. Because that is what we're going to sit back and talk about in 10 years. Like Mike Borganzi really knew what he was doing. And he did not whiff, especially in the first round. Yeah. Well, you know what? He does have a pro bowler that he already drafted.

Garner Helm, that cat's going to be a damn pro bowler. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. But talking about down the line here, I'm saying within four years, in those he's got four years invested in himself as a player. whoever that guy is. Now that's an easier conversation to have when you're picking in the top seven. Now if we're picking in the 20s, it'd be easily more easily dated whether or not a guy actually

even just because he's the first rounders going to end up being a pro bowl because we've seen a ton of bums get drafted in the first round, right? But when you're picking that high, first off, there's more element of discovery. You got to make sure you're doing the right thing with that pick. And you're trying to address something that made you pick that high in the first place. Your team wasn't complete. You know, so with that, you got to make sure that the guy that you're going to get is work is worth the same. And I will say this, guys, you know, there is a school of thought that David Bailey and Arbel Reese are obviously not on the board potentially at number four.

But that's not saying that getting Jeremiah Love or getting Ruben Bain will be a consolation prize. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the three edges or him if he's your pick. It sounds weird to say settling for Jeremiah Love. but it could be a situation where you're forced to pick him, which is a good thing, I think, for this Titans team. Okay. So on the other side of the break, we have a couple questions from some of our viewers. We're going to do our best to answer them in our Titans talk segment.

That's next on the Titans Watch. All right. I love this guy's handle. Cam Sail Away. Come sail away. That's awesome. And he asked, he has a couple questions. if they were to re-sign Kevin Zitler or draft Emmanuel Pregnod.

He's at number 35. He's the guard from Oregon. Do you think that that would be enough to draft love? Of course, love would have to come before that, but that's the overall maybe plan for the Titans Brat. So first off, he's ultra-physical, ultra-physical. And I mean, I quote him as like a bouncer type. You know what I mean?

He's strong and past pro. I'm talking about Emmanuel Pregnant from Oregon. Now, that's the thing. Are we going to address interior offensive line that high? To me, it does make sense. If they were to take love, I think that you almost have to take

an interior offensive line. You see what I'm saying? Because that's what they'd have to. In other words, they couldn't go receiver there. That'd have to be the 66 pick, which will be okay because we have Calvin Ridley, because we have Dan Wondale Robinson, and because Alic,

IU manner is, you know, he's surprised at people his rookie year. I hope he gets better. If he gets better, then shoot, he'd be a great compliment. I already talked about Gunner Hill and being a pro bowler at some point. So if they were to take Jeremiah Love with the fourth pick, they'd have to take a pregnant,

they'd have to take, let's see who else I got here. I mean, I don't think Big Island is going to be there. Somebody's asking about station. What? Eelan Rutledge could be potentially. Exactly. I mean, yeah. A little sleeper. Right, Kaylee, they're talking about a road grader in the run game.

That's what interior office alignment are. Road graders, you know what I mean? So there's some options there, but I think that if you do take love in the first, you've got to take alignment in the second, and then look to whatever the best available receiver would be in the third. So to answer your question, yes. Not the Kevin Zitler thing. No, no.

No. But definitely if you take love, go ahead and invest in a youngster that's going to be the next Peter Skoronski on the right side. Yeah. And I'd be okay with waiting on a receiver if that's the case of taking a line in at 35. Because also, think about it. Love is that offensive weapon that you're adding into the mix that Cam needs because he also is a good receiver and a three down back. So that is a big thing. Kayla, do you have something to say about that? Yeah. No, I love that point. I mean, again, I always bring up the point of Christian McCaffrey, but it's just we are talking about him like that, like that he can be that versatile of a back. for you. And when you have that luxury, and again, I'm not like unimpressed with the wide receiver

room. Look, it needs to be added to for the future. And we need to see production out of some of these young guys this next season. And hopefully Calvin Ridley can stay healthy and add something to that room. But I do think just having love, like, is almost another in a way, like, receiver if you need him to be at certain points. So that's a great point. Cam Salaway has another question, and this is really the last one before we go. Yeah, come Selaway. It is, what's your guys' opinion on Carmen Bracillo? He is the new offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans.

And if the Titans have so many holes already on that offensive line and the potential of drafting and developing young players, makes this guy's job that much more important. I don't know much about them. You know what I mean? Yeah. And I'm not saying I need to know much about an offensive line coach. to say that he's worth anything. But unless they're considering him like one of the best that's coaching it,

unless they're considering him as some guru, you know, I'd rather say, hey, go get Duke Mayweather or Meriwether, the guy from Dallas that seems to be cranking on all these linemen. You know what I mean? Go get one of these dudes that's doing these off-season training sites and get him to be a position coach. Because it's unfortunate, fellas, that there's a reason why these kids leaving the off-season to go get coaching like that

because they're not getting in their own building. You know, some say that. You're thinking, you know, this is the NFL team, right? Why wouldn't they have the best available coaches coaching these positions so that way you wouldn't have to outsource the coaching? But that is a reality. And I'm not saying that's the situation here. I'm just saying I just don't know enough about it, guys. Okay.

So what I have noticed just in the NFL in general with offensive line is there's not that many greats, right, in terms of coaches. We talk about, remind me of, I'm blanking. on the Eagles line coach that just just retired. Everybody talks about him. Right. I'm like blanking on his name right now. And we even put, you know, Callahan in that category. And I'm nothing to take away from him because I think he is in that category overall with

his career. Unfortunately, you know, coming to Tennessee and just submisses for me with Callahan and maybe he didn't meet my expectations of what I thought he could do in terms of development with some of these guys and there were a couple decisions I didn't like. It's kind of hit and miss. Like it's hard to really say like this coach is going to be, they're going to take this, you know, this line to the next level. It's, you kind of need a mixture of a great coach, but also like the right talent. And hopefully that is what they're going to start to accumulate here. And a guy like Rosillo can do stuff with what he has.

But I just remember, you know, up until Callahan got here. And again, I don't think he completely met the mark too, but it was a nightmare. I mean, some of the offensive line years, you know, with Luan and stuff, like we had some good years. But then we just saw a complete drop-offs when some of that talent left. And it was like, sometimes I question who the hell is coaching the line, you know, because it just didn't seem like it was getting done. and Brad real quick. I don't, I mean, you've talked about this before. I know that you had one line coach in particular that, you know, you rave about to this day, but that's rare to find. Yeah.

Trust me. I remember the ones that didn't hit. You know, I remember that we had three, two or three different coaches that we were like, can you get this bum out of here? Because this guy don't know nothing from nothing. And Munch was always like in the, in the wing. That's what, and then also put pressure on the guy that was the offensive line coach because they had Mike Munchack, you know, like first ballot Hall of Famer. Exactly. With the clipboard behind him kind of instructing us a little bit. Yeah.

Well, the one thing that Rosillo does have on his side, at least, is the familiarity with Brian Davel's system, obviously working together with the New York Giants. And that I don't think counts for nothing. I think that certainly the familiarity piece certainly helps with, you know, terminology and all that stuff like that. And so we'll see because after Bill Callahan left when Brian was fired, the offensive line did play better. So there goes to your guys' point. Go figure. Sometimes it's just maybe simplifying things. Real quick, to answer Baratron's comment, I hope we're wrong to. I hope that they take a Jeremiah Love because he would be a tremendous player to have, but they've

also got to do something drastic to protect it. Yes. And that was Baratron asking or telling us, he's a hope you all are wrong about love at number four if he's available best player in the draft great running back great receiver and i think we agree i think we agree with that getting jeremiah love i i think that would be the pick that titans fans would actually like the most yeah and rejoice the most doubt well it's a sexy pick that's true it is it is very way sexier than the line i'm done with you kael all right and we are done here on the titan squad show to day.
