Michael Griffin was the first pick he made in Tenn. before that it was Floyd Reese in charge of their drafts.

Is he still around? That guy could draft. Fisher's done okay, but comparing what Reese did to what Fisher has done is a contrast.

He built some damned good rosters. It looks like he's enjoying retirement at 67, his last job was an advisor for the Patriots three years ago.

Pretty good, except ironically enough...WR.

Yeah, I noticed that too. He's drafted pretty well in the first round except for that position. Maybe he needs to let someone else pick a WR. But he picked some really good players over the years. With the Rams only Robinson is questionable. And the jury's still out on him. He could really take off this year or he could continue status quo. I haven't been a fan of his lately but I thought he was a little better at the end of the season. Maybe he's ready to take that step and be the guy they thought he could be. I hope so. That position is so valuable.

For the love of God, I hope not.

Treadwell is Quick part 2.

His list looks pretty good. Dyson and TA the only WR's? Of course there are a lot of reasons why players get picked when they do ,, or don't. BPA comes to mind and of course team need.

The reason why I reacted like this about Treadwell is scouting report like this :


For the NFL, Treadwell is a big, strong, possession receiver. He routinely used his size and strength to make catches over defensive backs for 50-50 passes for Ole Miss. That made Treadwell very dangerous in the red zone. Even though he isn't very fast, he has some run-after-the-catch skills. Treadwell can pick up yards by getting north and south while also being tough to tackle in open field. On wide receiver screens, he is dangerous.Treadwell excels in the ground game as well. He is a tremendous blocker and one of the best blocking receivers to come into the NFL in years.

Some have projected Treadwell to go high in the first round, but I haven't heard that from teams. The reason for that is speed. Treadwell will struggle to separate from NFL cornerbacks, who will be able to run with him. It also will be harder to complete 50-50 passes against them because they're bigger than the corners Treadwell typically faced in college. Treadwell is also not explosive or sudden, thus separating will be a challenge in his route-running. He isn't a deep threat to stretch a defense over the top. If Treadwell had speed, he'd be similar to Julio Jones or A.J. Green, but Treadwell is a lot slower than those two star receivers.

In speaking with a general manger of a playoff team, they said that Treadwell is a little overrated and view him as a big, strong, possession receiver for the NFL. Teams say they don't expect Treadwell to run well at the Combine. Sources from multiple teams said they view Treadwell more as a late-first-round talent, but one who would be an awesome value in the second round.

And this is another red flag:

To Run or Not To Run: The Question Facing Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell


Laquon-Treadwell-WR-Ole-Miss-USATSIBleacher Report’s NFL Insider Jason Cole is reporting that Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell is considering skipping the 40-yard dash at the 2016 Scouting Combine despite many in the scouting community questioning whether he has the top-end speed required from a go-to target in the NFL. Cole’s report suggests that Treadwell is debating skipping the drill because of a switch in trainers and the inability to be 100% ready by the Combine.

BP’s Take: Much like we saw with Michigan State QB Connor Cook’s decision to pass on the 2016 Senior Bowl, a decision not to run by Treadwell will only hurt his overall draft stock. Many are projecting Treadwell to run an average to potentially below average time in the 40, so unless he is brutally slow, choosing to run can only enhance his evaluation. Let’s say Treadwell runs a 4.65 in Indy; would that hurt his value? In my opinion, no. That’s what he looks like on tape. If, however, Treadwell was able to post a 4.55? He’d actually help his stock while other receivers with the same 40-yard dash time will be viewed as having an average day. He should run…period.

Sounds like a Jeff Fisher WR all the way doesn't it?? Let's go draft a young slower unproven version of Kenny Britt with our first round pick for Case or good ole' Nick Foles to throw to. Oh Joy, can't wait for next season. I hate this guy in the first round. If you want a blocker that can catch draft a TE for God's sake in the 2nd round.
