BTSC 2010 Community Mock Draft - Pick #16 by the Tennessee Titans: Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State

PrintThanks to Frank for keeping things going at #15 and big tip of the cap to LuckyDom for the prompt selection at #16 for the Tennessee Titans. Perhaps an accurate selection too, we'll see. I'm curious to see whether Kyle Wilson or Patrick Robinson will be selected first. Next up? The San Francisco 49ers, who of course already picked at #13. That means double duty for _.58._. -Michael Bean-
**************
The 2009 Tennessee Titans defense finished 27th in total yards per game allowed, 28th in points allowed and 31st in passing yards allowed. After a war room discussion of 15 seconds it was concluded that the 16th pick would be used on a defensive player.
The two weakest areas being CB and DE had the staff hoping against all hope that either Joe Haden or Derrick Morgan would fall to us. Unfortunately that was not to be. Jason Pierre-Paul is a stud of an athlete but is so raw he, unlike Morgan, will not likely make an impact in 2010. With Jacob Ford and William Hayes now having two years under their belts and substantial playing time at DE the staff focused on cornerback.
Kyle Wilson has all the tools to be an outstanding shutdown corner for years but the lack of competition and no CB pedigree in the program at Boise State raised a flag. Some project Earl Thomas as a corner but the transition will take time and the staff sees him as a natural safety.
Much consideration was given to Devin McCourty of Rutgers but in what some may say is a reach pick, the Tennessee Titans select Florida State Cornerback, Patrick Robinson. He ran a 4.38 at pro day and most importantly is a playmaker from a program that has a history of NFL playmakers which the Titans sorely need.

you’ve got to be kidding right? Jimmy Clausen over Vince Young?? Funny stuff. Agree about Earl Thomas though.

But, but, but . . .
All Vince Young is now is a proven winner who still has tons of upside and needs some playmakers around him (besides Chris Johnson).
Gosh. Jimmy Clausen could fix that overnight. If he played receiver. Which he doesn’t.

so much of america wants to bash on vy
it’s absurd. He had some growing up to do, but I think he’s through a lot of that turbulence. On the field, still plenty of room to grow too, but it’s strange to me how few people want to acknowledge the effect he seems to have on his teammates. Tennessee immediately looked like a different and revived team when Jeff ‘my philosophy is made for the 1980s’ Fisher finally made the switch from Collins.

ehhh
forgive my ignorance; last i checked (a long, long, time ago) vy was a whiny kid who wanted out of football, and all i remembered of the titans was cj tearing up 2000 yards; excuse the foot in mouth.
he's something like 22-11 as an NFL starter

Before last year, I would have agreed with c63tho
but a few months ago, I did an analysis on his play in 2009 vs. the first two years. He clearly improved last year, not just in wins and losses, but as a passer as well.

Bit of a reach...
I also don’t see the true need for this pick myself. They have Cortland Finnegan who was hurt and Rod Hood. They also signed Tye Hill, who was a first round pick who may play better in a different role on a different defense. For a dime package player they culd get better value at other positions in my opinion.
Linebacker maybe here, maybe a DE like JPP or Griffen who’s flying slightly under the radar, but would still be a reach.
I think they could get McCourty in the second, which is better value. That would also pair him with his brother Jason who the Titans drafted last year. Gives you one of those awwww moments.

wow.
are you secretly doing this so pittsburgh gets wilson? im sorry, but this is a bad pick
who knows
We’ve seen teams go for CBs in the mid to late teens each and every year, and they’re not always thought of as slam dunk, safe picks. I don’t think this pick is worthy of ridicule at all, even if most disagree that he’s even the best CB available at this spot. I could easily see Fisher taking a guy like Robinson over a guy like Wilson out a weak ass WAC conference.
