Impressions from the AFC South Draft thus far

#14

The Jaguars definitely had the best draft, probably in the whole league not just division. Ramsey, Jack, and all your later round picks that y'all basically had fall to your laps? Yeah, the defense looks terrifying and the offense has potential. your draft is definitely an A+.


I rank the Texans next, but not because I'm being a homer and think that the Titans didn't draft well. It's because O'Brien and Smith said that they would overhaul the offense and finally add speed no matter what, and they did just that. They were very bold and aggressive, even though trading up a couple of spots twice seemed dumb to a lot of people, I liked it because it showed that OB and Smith intended to get the guys they wanted and they refused to be undermined no matter what. I liked the Fuller pick mainly because it's nice that opposing defenses won't always be able to stack the box with both safeties or double team Hopkins anymore, which was a huge issue for us last season. His hands are concerning, but that could improve over time. Martin should solidify the line and I think Braxton was a weird, bold pick, but he does have tremendous upside and is fiery so he could be at least a dangerous returner starting off. We maybe could have tried harder to look for a DE opposite Watt, but it's still hard to complain about a faster offense. Now it's all up to Brock. I give ours a B+.


The Titans had a solid draft, though I feel like Conklin was a reach. He'll be good, but still a reach. The Titans obviously wouldn't have considered him if there wasn't so much controversy with Tunsil, and they clearly panicked believing that a good Tackle wouldn't be available later. Kevin Dodd could be a dangerous threat on defense, though his character concerns could be an issue. Henry was a bold pick, and he does make a potentially formidable duo with Murray. It does make you question if they are really confident in Murray though. Im not as high on their draft as some of you are, but they still did solid and they could be interesting if Mariota proves last season's spurts of explosive plays weren't a fluke. I give them a B.


The Colts had a mostly subpar draft IMO. Yes they finally drafted some linemen to give Luck actual protection, but they really needed to try and grab some defensive playmakers. Right now they easily look like the most imbalanced team in the division, and if it wasn't for Luck being as good as he is I think the Colts would very likely be the worst team in the division at this point. They may still be the slight favorites to win the division if Luck stays healthy, but the gap is closing real fast. I give them a C+/fringe B-.
