I just don't see division rivals making a deal which means Wentz is impossible and need to look elsewhere.
No way Titans drop all the way to 22. Except with a major haul of picks and a major player that will be a starter for them. If they trade, they are staying in the top ten.
The Texans wouldn't even be able to come up with an offer that would convince the Titans to drop all the way to 22 from 1. They are looking at a franchise tackle. They would potentially drop a few spots, but no way down to 22 unless JJ Watt were included in the deal. Tunsil seems like he might be the next generational tackle.

I don't want Hackenberg. What's the point of even going into the combine when you already have your 1st round pick locked up no matter what he does.
He's close to or exceeds Eddie Lacy weight this past season which is really concerning. To me, Bama backs are just so much bigger/stronger and run behind superior OL in college that their numbers will be great no matter who is back there. I think their weight ultimately hurts in the NFL where the playing field is much more even. I'd be weary of taking a Bama back in the first 2 rounds.
Yeah it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point. I've been under the auspice now of just letting BoB get HIS guy and rolling with it. He obviously likes Hack a lot so maybe he can turn him into a franchise QB. If not we just start this sh** show all over again
