Indeed, based on… Read More »

I think it would be appropriate to say that the Titans Draft effort was short, but sweet. The team ended up with the fewest Picks of any team in the League, with only 4 selections. The good news down in Music City is that the team got the guys they wanted especially at the top. The TITANS set… Read More »

How about some defensive help like Sam Hubbard for the COLTS. Versatile player who makes things happen when on the field. Reminds me of former Buckeye MIKE VRABEL. MIGHT END UP AS THEIR 3RD TE when not playing D. Pigskin If not I like D>J> CHARK to entice LUCK to get well soon.
Just a huge upgrade for one of the worst OL in the NFL. Way to go Gettleman. Pigskin
PLayed OT primarily at Nevada, but is likely to end up inside at OG. Excelled at SR Bowl. Very solid Pick. GIANTS could have used him. How about Hernandez Mr. Gettleman!
