Good morning, Titans fans!

It seems as if our two teams will be playing each other sometime during the 2024 campaign.

Beings my dad is hitting his 70's, we're trying to go to one out of town game per season. Last year was Vegas, this year is Nashville! Easy choice!

I'm inquiring about some details that would help us plan and enjoy our time in your city. Things such as....

• Best place/group/site to purchase tickets that doesn't involve the evil empire Ticketmaster. I'd rather give the money to a fellow season ticket holder.

• Best hotels that are near Nissan Stadium and of course, Broadway.

• Other tips, tricks, advice to spending a long weekend (Friday-Tuesday) in Nashville.

Thank you very much for your time! I can't wait to take my first visit to Nashville later this year!

Was it just an UDFA like I expected? It seemed like he was teasing something bigger when he mentioned that they are still working and "we don't have 3 TE's anymore".

Like maybe an inside joke or something about the roster but if so, kind of boring to tease something like an UDFA signing imo

Based on who was on the board when we picked...No Trades

1-Rome Odunze WR

2-Kool-Aid McKinstry CB

3-none

4-Brandon Dorlus DE/DT

5-Christian Jones T

6-Mekhi Wingo DT

7-Ladarius Henderson T-G

7-Kalen King CB

Has anyone ordered one of our custom elite jerseys whether that be the old elite template or the new f.u.s.e. template from fanatics? I've seen the horror of the custom "game" jerseys (screen printed) but not too many of the elites. I want a nice Levis jersey but have to justify paying the price for the elite considering its the only real option nowadays. Fanatics sucks regardless but it seems to be the only way.

[This is satire. I actually think it was a fine draft. Just giving a voice to all the negative vibes out there.]

1st round: No. 7 JC Latham, Alabama, OT: "We have needed a left tackle for years. Let's draft a guy who hasn't played left tackle since high school."

2nd round: No. 38 T'Vondre Sweat, Texas, DL: "This guy has significant weight and character concerns, but if he works out, he has the talent of a high second-round pick. He could be a great player to get at a discount later in the draft. So let's draft him as a high second-round pick."

4th round: No. 106 Cedric Gray, North Carolina, LB*: "*They say his biggest weakness is 'play recognition,' but that's okay. It's only something he has to do on every single snap."

5th round: No. 146 Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Louisville, CB: Hearing a lot about this guys "fight," he's a "dawg," he's got a mean streak, he's a gamer. I am not hearing a lot of "he can cover wide receivers."

6th round: No. 182 Jha'Quan Jackson, Tulane, WR: Smaller players can succeed in the NFL, but Jackson is already injured in expectation of being hit by Brownlee in practice.

7th round: No. 242 James Williams, Miami, S At some point we should draft players who will play the same position of us as they did in college.

7th round***:*** No. 252 Jaylen Harrell, Michigan, EDGE: Good 7th round pick, no notes.

Tic Tac Titans needs to be ignored by everyone. Easily the most toxic titans twitter account out there. I just muted him - if you want to check his replies though to see a choice selection of why this dude is an absolute AH and undeserving of any attention (not to mention stealing content and having generally trash takes) please heed this advice.

Petty AF and just wondering if the rest of the sub agree?

Bit of background on me just so I don't come across as a complete idiot. UK fan. Been following the Titans for around 5 years, been over to Nashville once and seen us in a London game last year too. So I am as active a fan as I can feasibly be and follow the team through a variety of methods YT, podcasts, sub reddits etc.

Obviously we aren't filling a Derrick Henry sized hole nor should we really expect to, but is Tony Pollard going to be our RB for the season ahead?

I try and follow as much as I feasibly can but I've not really seen much about what we are doing with RB and indeed it hasn't really been seen as a hole to fill in the draft.

Looking for opinions on this and what my own expectancy should be here.

Thanks a lot and TITAN UP!

EDIT: So pretty unanimous I did have a bit of a misunderstanding on how we will be approaching RB this season, so really appreciate you all for taking the time to respond.

Hey everyone! I've been tagged and messaged a few times about my draft recap, I think this will be my 4th or so year doing it

Here is a recap of last years: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tennesseetitans/s/SSavdyfurd

Last year I didn't have much to say other then levis would be a absolute stud, our fan base hated that pick last year but I was in love with it. Jury is still out but I'm still super high on levis and can see him being a top 10 QB this year. I think we will see a mid - higher 3k yard season along with some showcasing of levis rushing ability

I don't have any SUPER strong takes this year like in years past, not sure if that's good or bad

This draft felt a little underwhelming:

RD 1 7: JC Latham

I'm not a big fan of this pick. The dude is a absolute monster of a human, but any time you move from the right side to the left there will be issues. Combined that with being a rookie and it could compound into errors quickly. We also saw a few bad games Latham had against certain rush styles ( speed ) which could be a flaw in his game.

I know he played left tackle in HS but after playing right for years it's like driving on the right side of the road vs the left, he also didn't have to deal with as many dominant pass rushers that line up on the left.

We also have not seen many offensive T from Bama pan out even one coached by cally.

Another thing to mention is his massive penalties across college. I really am not a huge fan of this pick and I think it'll be a uphill climb with him, and God forbid we have to play him at RT we are back in the same boat.

RD 2 38 : T'vondre Sweat This is funny to me because in past drafts I've called out players for character issues but this may be my favorite pick.

Yes I know they're is some conditioning and character issues, but we flew out to meet with him multiple times this is on the coaching and GM you have to trust they vetted him and trust him going forward.

This pick really reminds me of philly taking Jordan Davis and he's been stellar for there defense, and he was taken in the 1st.

But with some conditioning I think sweat will be able to be a 3 down player unlike Morgan who only played around 500 snaps plus his pass rush win rate is crazy, him and Jeff will be hard to plan for. I will say I really did like dejean here with a move to safety.

RD 4 106: Cedric Gray ( edit , wrong name/ spelling )

I think this is also a pretty great pick with some value behind it, but I also think Grey is a similar to Kenneth Murray, both run stopping pass rushing the QB we don't have a coverage LB and I don't know how confident I am in Grey becoming one.

RD 5 146: Jarvis Brownlee

I wish we could have traded up a few picks here and took a chance on Troy Franklin who was a very productive slot WR his last year at Oregon putting up 1400 yards his last season he had his own issues but upside was there

But Brownlee I don't really have any option on he seems like a OK pick with some upside ( didn't really watch his tape much)

RD 6 182: Jha'Quan Jackson

This was a absolute waste of a pick, this isn't a WR this is strictly a returner, who even had some muff issues and is undersized. Dude is small , and was never productive in college I think he put up maybe 400 yards his best year? Idk why waste a pick on a returner you could have gotten later or as a UDFA especially with malik washigton and rice on the board who at least had upside as a WR ( we are a injury to a aging hopkins away from starting NWI at WR 2 again) The only cool thing about this pick was the Spears connection and I'll be rooting for the kid regardless

RD 7 242: James Williams

Glad they listed him as a LB because he's probably to slow to be a safety

I have no real opinion on Harrel I never watched his tape

But that is my Yearly prediction a lil more in depth then years prior , I wanted to do more players then just a few I had strong feelings on as again I didn't have any crazy takes like years prior

Thanks!

What is our best option when it comes to hotel stay?? We live in California so we have no idea. There’s a place called Placemakr Music Row that a friend has stayed at & recommended. They’re described as an Apartment-Hotel. So if anyone has some insider advice, it’s appreciated. Also anything else we should know. Thanks

Landry and Simmons are good to great at generating pressure yet there’s still 2 question marks next to Simmons. Will we be blitzing more with the ILB’s and DB’s? As others have said Key is a good backup, yet not an ideal starter. Autry’s a year older, but it feels like we’re going to miss him severely this season. Are we waiting on cuts from other teams to add a pass rusher, or will we rely on Key, Weaver, Caleb Murphy (?), one of the undrafted rookies?

As my source. And just giving -1 point for every spot we reached, and +1 for every spot we ‘saved’ This is also highly unscientific, each spot is not worth nearly the same. Reaching 20 spots on a prospect in round 1 is very different from 20 in round 6.

JC Latham, picked at 7, consensus big board spot is 19 (-12)

T’Vondre Sweat, picked at 38, consensus big board spot of 73 (-35)

Cedric Gray, picked at 106, consensus big board spot of 99 (+7)

Jarvis Brownlee Jr, picked at 146, consensus big board spot of 125 (+21)

Jha’Quan Jackson, picked at 182, consensus big board spot of 215 (-33)

James Williams, picked at 242, consensus big board spot of 187 (+55)

Jaylen Herell picked at 252, consensus big board spot of 198 (+54)

That gives us an overall score of +57 by this (awful) metric I designed because I was bored.

I’ll note that I could possibly improve this by adding multipliers to earlier round picks. Could also use ratios of the pick to big board spot, but that would probably swing things into overvaluing the early picks too much.

I wouldn’t try to get any valuable insight from the +57 alone, but if you think consensus big boards have any merit, then it looks like in the early rounds we tended to reach, but in the later rounds, we found some value.
