Well for one, weren't we still using the old scouts back then?
For another, it was a whole round later.
I'm happy to have both. And Davis of course.

So the same team who apparentLy got it wrong with Taylor, got it right with Brown??? How did they become so much better at evaluating players?
If we just imagine he caught every deep pass he’d best in the leagueThere is no one on the roster who stretches the field more for the Titans than Taylor. So, IMO, he's already a factor and can be a major one if he can begin to pull down more deep passes.
Brown hasn't caught a pass yet and you have him starting? Lol have some of you not learned yet? We have an inconsistent(being generous here) QB, and have never been a big passing team. Also, he's a rookie. How many titans rookie WRs start the year on the 1 line when it's not an absolute necessity? If we start the year in a 2 wr set, it won't be brown and CD. If we start 3, it won't be brown, hump, and CD. It will be CD and hump, or CD, hump, and TT/Sharpe.Jrob did not use a 2nd round pick as insurance for if Taylor doesnt improve. Brown has his role in place and unless he struggles with the playbook this team is not going into next year relying on Taylor to start opposite Davis.
More like Mary haters vs Titan fans lolWhy does every thread turn into a mary bashers vs mary lovers contest...
If TT/Sharpe were projected to start next season we wouldn't have drafted Brown in the 2nd round. With these high draft picks its not about them proving anything they haven't already shown in college to earn a starting role. Whether that translates to the next level is to be determined.Brown hasn't caught a pass yet and you have him starting? Lol have some of you not learned yet?

That body-catch-only strategy is what got the Pats attention, I'm sure.I read pats interested in Taiwan
Don’t they know he’s holding back Mary from surpassing 11 tds a year!
Taylor had nearly 1,000 yards during his senior season alone on passes which traveled 20+ yards. There isn't some fundamental issue with him which will prevent him from catching balls downfield. His issues are consistent with that of a young player. Some guys never really get "it", but many go from experiencing the same struggles to having great success. Talent certainly isn't the issue, but we can't really bank on him improving, and Brown is great insurance if he doesn't. And if he does, that's certainly a good thing.
It's going to be real hard for TT, CD, or Brown to reach their ceilings until Marcus or the next guy reaches theirs.
I honestly thing the last couple years, both positions have been retarding the growth of the other. Maybe this is the year it takes off.

Wait he wasn’t a rook last year really? lol WoSo why is he dropping passes....especially deep ones and a TD? He also had drops in college too...and he wasn't a rookie last year. is this gonna be another one of your...you can't judge a wr for 4 years thing?
Many young WRs have struggled with drops. Just part of adjusting to the speed of the game for a guy from a smaller conference, as well as the playbook . I think that you should expect to see much more consistency by year 3 for a WR.So why is he dropping passes....especially deep ones and a TD?

Catching the ball has almost nothing to do with adjusting to NFL speed so that's not an excuse for drops.
He's saying that adjusting to the speed of the game and the more advanced concepts has him thinking too much. Eventually, he will just settle down and play.
It's pretty much the same in any high level endeavor.
That would be an excuse in route running or getting off the line or something he's slow to do because he's thinking too much. But none of that is happening. He looks fast on the field and is getting open. The one thing a receiver does not have to adjust to is just catching the ball!
One thing noted in his scouting report was that he had difficulty adjusting to off-target throws. Most of the drops that I recall were on plays which required him to extend himself or adjust his route, so I'm sure that these situations are causing him to think too much about his catching technique as they aren't as natural to him.That would be an excuse in route running or getting off the line or something he's slow to do because he's thinking too much.

Ill give him the benefit of the doubt. Mariota wasn't the only one having to learn a completely new system. Plus he was robbed of playing time in his first year under Mularkey. Then this past year due to injuries the offense really went away from him and most of the receivers not named Davis. One more thing I had to factor into this. He was forced to play out of position on the outside instead of in the slot where I believe is his best fit because of the lousy options at the WR2 position.Many young WRs have struggled with drops.
