While the Davis pick was somewhat of a no-brainer for a team in need a WR1, drafting Taywan Taylor and Eric Decker signing right now are huge. Add in that last years 5th rounder Tajae Sharpe isn't practicing either and the team overhauled its WR corp to the point that two guys are out and its not an issue.
The biggest weaknesses I see is a lack of ILB depth and TE depth. Jonnu Smith looks to be another solid draft choice but he's not an NFL blocker, yet. Erik Walden gives the team better depth at OLB than a year ago and everyone in the secondary, especially Kevin Byard have stepped up. Adoree will be the teams returner to start and he's fighting for the Slot CB position right now. He's even made a few plays when put in against the first team.
If they get through the first 6 games of the season at 4-2, they might get to 10 wins or more this season.
Excited for Marcus and the titans this year.

Yup, I have been following their practices also, things are buzzing in Tennessee and Marcus appears close to 100% at this point. I hope I get more televised games this season.

Baylis had 3 catches for 24 yards last night for the Texans
No doubt. I got to catch up with him at a Titan's signing event near my house. He said "Woah" (yeah, I'm that over 40 guy with a jersey on...). I asked him to him to sign an RG sports extra page after taking down Stanford at home in November 2014. Made my day. The Titans staff was unamused.

So Christian French (who happens to be on that signed paper) recovered a Kellen Clemens fumble and took it to the 1 yard line today in the Seahawks-Chargers romp.

Yeah he looked pretty solid in there tonight, picking up a sack later in the game. I did a double take when they said his name and had to double check that it was Christian French from Oregon bc I don't remember him making any sort if impact in his time here. Good for him though.

It's hard to make an impact or improve with Pellum at the helm. He always had the freakish ability, just not the development.

It's quite frustrating when people say we don't have talent on defense as an excuse when see teams with far less talent play solid D. Boise State,I'm looking at you. So poorly managed.

Marcus looked pretty good today! Two series, scored 10 points one td pass. One oddity, a fan called the first two plays for he Titans. The first was a long pass completion, the second was a zone read that Marcus kept for 8 yards. Can’t believe they would run him coming off that injury. He had to slide to avoid a big hit.
