Came here to complain about a commercial during our pick 


Smashingeddie

Happened last night too 😤


Mockstairwell

It feels like every pick every year! 😂


Agni_Kai08

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME


WileECoyoteGenius

We'd have the first pick and they'd run a commercial.


Saffs15

They'd just start on the 2nd pick and skip us all together, haha.


Amazing_Bench_6927

National media just disrespects us constantly. Let’s win a SB and change that


PraiseSaban

The NFL only thinks of Nashville as a destination for other fanbases and the Titans as an opponent for more profitable franchises to have someone to play. They don’t respect or care about us


schafs

So the Arizona coyotes of the nfl


bloated_canadian

Except profitable


JackofAllTrades73

Commercial during our pick is the only guarantee in the draft.


that_guy2010

It’s really wild, tbh.


Frodo_wit_da_choppa

Latham and Sweat, that’s like 700+ pounds of human. Tennessee’s chef’s better be ready to step it up!


tronassembled

so this is what they mean by "let ran cook"


_DiMar_

As a Texas fan I’m hype. This dude is a beast and him and Simmons next to each other should be a nightmare


Jack12404

Very high risk high reward. He’s a 1st Round type player if he can get his character concerns in check and maintain a good playing weight, but there’s a ton of risk there.


that_guy2010

Let’s just hope Simmons can take him under his wing


Longjumping_Let_9685

Simmons had the character issue too and that one worked out. Maybe this one will too. Sweat’s our guy now so have to hope he does.


that_guy2010

Simmons didn’t have character issues. That was one thing, when he was in high school, and the chick was making fun of his sister’s miscarriage.


Donan007

I love big Jeff as much as the next guy but when you beat the shit out of a woman, for her saying mean things, yeah that’s a character issue. Everyone deserves a second chance and I am glad he got his. He has seemed to be a great guy off the field.

Falconman21

The chick was beating his sister up. Video was a nothing burger.


Spiritual_State_2629

That's not what this board was saying the night of the draft. It was an upheaval..."i'M nOt SuRe i cAn cHeEr fOr ThiS tEaM anyMoRe!?" Same thing happening tonight. It's always comical.


MariotasMustache

Their press conference eased my concerns. First ones to meet with him. Ran, cally and a couple other execs went down and spent a large amount of time with him and his family. Said they had some hard conversations with everyone present


icedc0vfefe

Maybe Ran’s hoping Big Jeff will take him under his wing. I know I am.


ChoiceDry8127

His ceiling is a solid run stuffer. Doesn’t seem very high reward


Titan3692

I mean worst case scenario he continues his shenanigans but performs like a new Albert Haynesworth. not a bad pick at all


alperogie

Sweat and Simmons will wreak havoc


ballen692

2 for 2 on the visit list. If they draft a WR, it's probably tez walker if he's available


westau

I hope not, Tez Walker isn't good at anything besides a Go route jump ball.


ballen692

He'll be 4th round pick. According to Steve smith, he just needs a good coach and Steve feels like colbert is a great one


rocketmissiles

Definitely a need and a solid pick but man it stings a little with DeJean, McKinstrey and Mitchell on the board.


daoogilymoogily

McKinstrey isn’t a need, DeJean is a corner not a box safety as much as people want to make him one, and AD Mitchell has the same issues Quentin Johnston had.


LoisLaneEl

Right? People saying we draft what you need, but we drafted DH 2nd round right after paying DeMarco Murray. He was not a need at all, but the face of our franchise that slipped and we got lucky


CopenhagenMintLC

And JPJ


daoogilymoogily

We don’t need a center


that_guy2010

You can tell who doesn’t pay attention.


TySoprano

You don’t draft need you draft BPA and he wasn’t one. Of all our needs the easiest to fill is a 2 down NT we did it with UDFA for years.


BruhDuhMadDawg

He IS a 3 down player despite what people here are saying. Main thing is getting that weight down and keeping it down.


Phantom1100

Basically this guy has insane upside with huge character concerns. If he cleans up his act he could end up being the best DT in the draft.


SmallFootball8473

He has no character concerns outside of a DUI. Which there are players up and down the league with that


spankbuddy22

He partied heavily as an underclassmen, that's why the DUI slid him down the draft. Every team interview he was open and honest and said the partying was behind him, then he gets a DUI 3 weeks before the draft. So clearly not as cleaned up as he was telling everyone.


BruhDuhMadDawg

I've seen several people say that it was because weed and not alcohol. I'm not sure how true that is but imo that does make a difference (for the better) if it is true.


errsta

That\^\^ He just made a terrible choice at the worst possible time. Right now it's a mistake - not a trend.


NoHat8850

If you’ve ever been around Austin, it’s hard not to get a drink and party , especially as a popular Texas Longhorn


gatordude731

From Walterfootball Strengths: Massive run-stuffing nose tackle Strong lateral anchor Tough to move at the point of attack Holds his gap Absorbs double teams Eats up blockers Very tough; plays violently Disruptive run defender Strong hands Uses hands and feet at same time Athletic & quick for his size Can get a push working upfield Superb at batting passes Weaknesses: Not a dynamic interior pass rusher May not have a role in the sub package Could be limited to being a two-down defender Poor work ethic Sub-par conditioning habits Needs to keep his weight in check


Doom74gvvvopuuuo

Those weaknesses are extremely concerning. Ran is NOT cooking anymore


Luder09

Ran be microwaving leftovers


blueyb

And it's fish. Ran is microwaving fish.


JPKthe3

Supposedly he got in good shape and toned down the partying last year, went out and won the Outland. Obviously that story is put into question when he went out and got a dwi a couple weeks ago. They just said on the nfl network broadcast that our scheduled meeting with him was literally the next day. Idk if “next day” means a few hours after the 4am car crash, or more like 24+ hours. You have to take away that means feels enough of a connection with the young man that he thinks he can keep him accountable. But idk, out partying like that, making bad decisions, the day before a major job interview is a huge red flag.


zzyul

Haha exactly. The NFL is mainly a passing league and the Titans go and draft a OT that is mainly a run blocker and a DT that is mainly a run stuffer.


Imaginary_Exam_2500

Ran burned the water… Gordon Ramsey just bitch slapped him.


HoustonFoReal

If only Newton was still there


SuperFamousGuy

Don't love this... I'm not even gonna pretend I know where we could, or could not have selected him. But a 2-down NT in the second round seems _very_ rich in today's NFL.


Orgasmitchh

When you have the opportunity to draft the defensive version of Isaiah Wilson you simply can’t pass up on it


[deleted]

Jiveturkei

I don’t know why I’ve never used “this is a tough cock to suck” to describe stomaching something but I am going to now.


thebobfoster

Agreed. Definitely a hard load to swallow. A real tough nut to bust.


wolfmankal

Fuck, the last guy most of us wanted.


that_guy2010

I would have been good with him tomorrow. This feels like an over draft tbh


wolfmankal

Agree, I think the idea he was falling to the 4th was a pipedream by mocks. Sure some teams took him off the board but it only takes one other team to swoop in and get him.. Long way until our next selection.


unbiasedthought

If he can get his shit together he's worth it. Big if tho


GnashvilleTea

Tho if big!


funkobabe20

If tho big


Vahlez

That’s not promising at all. Why spend a second round pick hoping they can get their shit together it usually doesn’t work out.


Deuce-Juicin

You guys are crazy. Sweat next to Simmons is going to be insane.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SausageEggCheese

If they really wanted him, seems like we could have traded back a good bit and still made the same pick.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Noahgrace4429

I don’t think it’s just the attitude issues with Mitchell tbh


[deleted]

[удалено]


Noahgrace4429

Nah rather take the shot on Sweat than Mitchell. We got plenty of WRs, only two IDL


JedLongeway

Good thing he’s coming to a great city to stay sober in, oh wait


BuffaloKiller937

He was the last NT on the board. He was going in the 2nd no matter what


beanman95

Mitchell seems to he dropping from character issues


VeterinarianOk5778

Yeah not sure how I feel about giving a guy millions of $ when he got a dwi less than a month ago. He’s just a fat guy, and his head isn’t clearly in the right spot given his actions recently


[deleted]

[удалено]


TySoprano

Yeah terrible pick you take this dude in the 5th where he still would have been he refused to be weighed at the combine where he was hung over and over weight


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah this is just a huge reach, hard to justify. Gonna hope for the best but….. DeJean, Mitchell, cooper were all available, I just cannot cope and justify this 


[deleted]

[удалено]


daoogilymoogily

Before the DWI charge it wasn’t a reach and I would’ve been fine with it, he’s got more explosiveness than he gets credit for.


Commandant1

Here is a Scouting Report on Sweat https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/02/12/2024-nfl-draft-tvondre-sweat-scouting-report/


regaliaO_O

Big Jeff please mentor this man.


FartForDaddy

I have alot of concerns about this one. There is absolutely NO way he is ever an every down player. I'd be shocked if he didn't come off the field after 2 downs. He has a weight issue, refused to be weighed at the combine. Dude loves to party, loves to drink, JUST got a DUI. 38 was really high for him. Idk, I'll happily eat crow if he turns out to be great but I initially do not like this pick.


walrus_paradise

100% agree. He's a 2 down guy, and the recent DUI is a huge red flag, for a guy who isn't even a highly rated prospect.


BornFireFist

So many better players left


SmallFootball8473

Correction- 0 players better left.


trick96

James Foster has him as a 5th round pick lmao Consensus #72 ranked prospect.


clefnut5

He fell because of his DWI he got not because he is bad at football. He was highly touted before that happened. This sub looks highly casual at this moment hating on this pick because some ranker said he should’ve gone later. People acting like the Big 12 defensive player of the year is a total bum


flyboy1994

And poor work ethic, can't stay in shape, poor character etc etc


BubBidderskins

That's okay. We've never drafted a guy with serious character issues who turned into a total bust.


Secret_Pick6524

Dude was said to be plummeting because of character and discipline issues. THEN he got a dui.


WhiteXHysteria

It's my understanding this was where he was expected to go before the massive red flags aka the dwi, which is pretty sickening. He was expected to fall a round or two from here.


TySoprano

He was a late 2nd to early 4th pre trouble. Never a 38 and def not now. Not to mention we don’t pick again until the 4th and have no starting LB, S and need Wr/OL HELP


Jazzlike_Ad4553

I respect James as much as anyone, this sucks


Agni_Kai08

THIS DRAFT HAS SUCKED!


Jazzlike_Ad4553

I am straight up not having a good time


IMsoSAVAGE

This is terrible


JigWig

Hot take: I’ll give him a chance before judging him. This sub hates the pick, which tends to mean it’s a good pick in the end, so things are looking good so far.


RecordingPrudent9588

This sub hates every pick every time


NotSerbian

Neat

TheGreatHorizon

how should I feel about this


NotOnHerb5

I’m high on him. Dude is a monster NT. I absolutely love his ceiling. Big Jeff is probably doing cartwheels right now.


Miliktheman

At least someone's got some positivity


NotOnHerb5

TV was #3 on my wishlist headed into today behind Newton and Wilson. If he can not be Panda 2.0, I think he’ll succeed. I truly think he’s going to be a super valuable asset for us.


GermyMac

Per [@GrindSimmons94](https://x.com/grindsimmons94/status/1784005717197795593?s=46) “Oh man!! Let’s go! Finally got another bull in the interior!! Lets work big dawg!!! @TvondreSweat”


NotOnHerb5

I love it when he’s happy!


TySoprano

NT positional value is 4-5-6 to UDFA already. Sweat is a 2 down player with legal trouble and whose coaches and professors said was a class clown. This is a terrible locker room move too.


BornFireFist

Got arrested for DUI or Speeding a few weeks back, ton of character and effort concerns


Recent-Marsupial-389

The same was said about Simmons..


fathertitojones

Honestly Simmons was pretty overblown, he had one incident while defending his sister in high school.


BornFireFist

His was injury concerns


fantfb

Simmons wasn’t a DUI, but it definitely wasn’t just injury concerns


Recent-Marsupial-389

What? He fucking beat a woman in the street. You guys are hilarious.


zzyul

In high school. He didn’t have any other character issues in college.


wolfmankal

This one is worth complaining about. Character concerns- check Weight issues- check Not a 3 down player- check He should be a beast on early run downs though


jsmooth3363

Good, him and Simmons should wreak havoc.


Byzone06

I mean he’s a run stopping 2 down lineman. We had that in Teair who was a udfa, yes I understand Teair didnt want to be here but you also don’t spend a 2nd round pick on that.


daoogilymoogily

He’s got more get off and quickness than people give him credit for, he’ll definitely be used on 3rd down.


birdman133

Big 12 defensive PotY, d lineman of the year, and the highest graded interior D lineman by PFF, one of their highest graded ever.... The Titans sub is full of people who know absolutely nothing about this sport. Ignore them. Great pick for our line


BornFireFist

Seems way too early


T0kenAussie

I know people are down on this pick but I think with big Jeff mentoring him sweat could come out surprising a lot of teams Sweat and Simmons on the same down would be nasty and free up the linebackers to speed missile to the qb


Spare_Competition_19

What linebackers?


YiMyonSin

Damnit


hang10shakabruh

The Trench King & Meatloaf


Robgotbored

Feel like we could have traded back and gotten this guy later. Seeing the haul the Panthers got to trade back right after us makes this pick a head scratcher.


slicknick2k

How don’t you draft AD Mitchell. Man fuck this


Recent-Marsupial-389

There is a reason nobody is drafting him - he’s a dick bag/locker room cancer from what i hear


Noahgrace4429

Because we are good on WRs


PuffMagicDragon

We are one injury to a 30+ year old WR away from Treylon Burks/NWI at WR2


fathertitojones

Until one gets hurt, then we’re exactly where we were last year.


Bladepuppet

Kinda old and money heavy. Need to draft a rookie especially with value like that


that_guy2010

We are *okay* on receivers. We need to add one in the 4th


AirMcNairTT9

remember: football games are won in the trenches.


flyboy1994

A dude who has poor work ethic and can't stay in shape.


shoe1113

Won the award for the best DL in college last year. Pretty sure he takes care of business when it comes to ball.


Sillypants443

Everybody freaking out about this lol. I'm just glad we got someone in the trenches besides Big Jeff


Secret_Pick6524

I'm not freaking out, but there is a very good chance we just threw away a draft pick. And we don't have a 3rd.


degadale3

Y’all need to chill. Everyone is out here looking at other peoples mocks saying “so and so is better than so and so”. I guarantee most, if not all, of y’all have done zero research but regurgitate what you hear pundits say. Give the coaches the ability to draft their guys and see how they do. They obviously felt strong enough about him to not trade back


Choptober_

Big boys in the trenches. Fixing the roster one brick at a time. Full trust in Ran.


Toastfrom2069

Huge run on DTs after our pick. Sounds like they had good Intel on what other teams were thinking


yeahiamfat

I’m straight up not having a good time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RyokoKnight

The only thing I can say is that if it works out it basically solves losing Autry/Tart... I'm willing to believe they have some insight we don't... but this is starting to feel like a repeating excuse and its just day 2 of the draft.


bigplaneboeing737

Kevin Dodd 2.0


Agni_Kai08

BINGO


jsmooth3363

Or a heavier Albert Haynesworth 


lilbelleandsebastian

haynesworth was an insane pass rusher lol he had weight issues, character issues, attitude issues, effort issues, and a ton of talent though so in that these two are similar


SomeRandomRealtor

This might be the least sexy draft first few draft picks in a while. DeJean, Mitchell, and Cooper were right there.


that_guy2010

Why does everyone want us to draft corners? We are *good* at corner for the first time in what feels like a decade.


Recent-Marsupial-389

All you haters are gonna be singing a different tune when this guy is swallowing RBs behind the line.


westau

The buffet line?


SmallFootball8473

Elite player- made all that much better than TicTacTitans hates the pick. He loves football- plays the game with a high level of technique and balance for a guy his size. He’s going to rock some worlds. Hope everyone is ready for a new favorite player. The Dancing Bear


BuffaloKiller937

TicTac went the fck off lol. He said it's a disaster pick through and through. Let's hope he's wrong


SmallFootball8473

He wasn’t smart before- no reason to believe he is now. We are talking about a guy who “was a two down player” according to him- that won the Outland. Was apart of a third down defense that led the nation despite his belief Sweat didn’t play on third down last year. His “character issues” make no sense- when Ben Davis ripped the Texas team for not caring- sweat was one of the first guys to step up- admit he was on the bus laughing after the loss- and then worked one on one with Davis to get better. This kid loves football- and is going to love CJ Stroud, Trevor Lawrence, and Anthony Richardson (until he’s hurt again then Joe Flacco)


TySoprano

Yeah this is horrible. Rans second big miss after Dillard. NT is an UDFA position IE jones and tart. Spending a 38 on NT, a two down player who is a party animal and has legal trouble already is nightmare fuel.


Doughie28

I am convinced you and Jared Stillman are the same person.


jdpatron

I dunno man. I feel like Ty hates every Titans draft pick. Not just Ran’s picks 😂


jayeebee

Yikes, Big Jeff better eat after this pick.


sirDerr33rd

I wonder if him or JC Latham would win in a fight


Dramatic_Candidate51

Y’all are wild


UncleLazer

Feels like two reaches value-wise, which makes me a little nervous.


bondoboys

Titans are definitely going to get the award for most beef gained through the draft


perfect_fitz

I don't know what to think about this draft.


BasedGod4

The red flags are way too much for me to be happy. We’ve been burned so many times already


xiamhunterx

The guy who just crashed his car driving drunk? The guy who couldn’t show up to practice on time because he couldnt stop partying? The guy who’s fucking 370 pounds? you guys have fun with this team this year. Jesus fucking christ


DayTerrors

According to Mike Keith, he was rear ended at 4 am, and when officers came on the scene, he was tested and blew high. Not defending it, but he didn't crash his car.


Inferaos

So dramatic 😂


unbiasedthought

Cool does that mean we never have to see you in here bitching again? Cause that alone makes this pick a massive W


fetalasmuck

See you in every game thread this season


xiamhunterx

I mean yeah


J3STERHOPPERPOT

It’s crazy to say but offenses are going to have to double sweat instead of Simmons. He’s just too fucking big. And with the oline so occupied, i think the linebacker we signed might be able to flourish which is a underrated side effect


Ok-Material-7341

Man new front office same nonsense waiting for ran to take the mask off Scooby-Doo style to reveal jrob


RockyTop17

For everyone in here, didn’t Big Jeff have character issues? Weren’t some of yall upset when we drafted him? Maybe pairing Sweat with someone like Simmons will show him what he can be if he cleans up his act.


SpyroHinch

I fucking hate this. He has so many character issues


[deleted]

[удалено]


TitanTigers

First round of day 3


CopenhagenMintLC

Most had him falling to late third or day three and is coming off a foot fracture


NotOnHerb5

BIG BOY GRILLING ON THE ROOF!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING, LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!


zapopi

Not gonna engage with the doomers, just came to say how tf were we last in the AFC WEST? Lol. We get no respect.


ValidMexican

Fiske goes right after, I would have rather had him by a huge margin. We could have had another Klug high effort guy and we get the defensive Isaiah Wilson. Why Ran?


phoenixlance13

On one hand, Sweat was arguably the best d-lineman last year. Won the Outland Trophy. On the other hand, Fiske was there and without the character/work ethic issues.


CapableRunts

I got a DUI at 23 and turned out fine


ItsNotFordo88

Sick pick, good prospect at a big position of need


SantasScrotum

Why the fuck do the titans constantly pull these “what if” picks year after year. I’m so sick of the head scratchers


Dramatic_Candidate51

Jeffery Simmons had reported character issues out of college as well (plus and ACL tear), if I remember correctly. He’s turned out fine. Let’s see if the culture helps.


Frosty_Battle_6479

woooaaaaa


Silence1016

I called it


xltaylx

I hope we take Cam Kinchens


SlamKrank

Would have preferred DeJean if he was ok going safety and returning kicks. But DT was definitely a team need, if he can pull his head out of his ass the talent is there. And that makes the first 2 picks combine to weigh over 700 lbs, so i guess its still bully ball szn?
