Who did you end up taking?

I took the QB, Kirby Freeman. Outside of a couple years he hasn't been all that good. Had I remained with the Titans I was actually going to consider trying to trade him or possibly not even resigning him. He manged to reach 90 OVR after his rookie year but over the years, and especially last year, it became clear to me that the Titans' skill position players (always had two 90 OVR WR and a high 80's HB) elevated Freeman's play rather than the other way around. I sacrificed several offensive players to make the defense better and then with Fitzgerald injured last year, Freeman simply couldn't overcome those losses. Had the defense not balled out in the middle of the season the Titans would not have made the playoffs. Maybe with a healthy Fitz they'll do better this year but we'll have to wait and see.

As for the DE I passed up, that was Brick Massey who entered the league as a 90 OVR. I recently asked KCF how he had been doing and he told me he has low sack numbers but seems to be more of a run-stuffer anyway. He's had a solid enough career.

With all that said, I have no idea what's the right move. Drafting Garoppolo doesn't necessarily mean he'll elevate the play of your other guys like Bryant. Or he could be the next Tannehill. Really no way of knowing as every draft is different. I suppose my advice would be this, and I have no idea if this is right or not, but when you have a bad team like the Chiefs or Titans that continually struggle, pick a side of the ball and commit to it. Try and make that side of the ball better and supplement the other side of the ball when available. Hopefully the side you start focusing on plays better and then you can start focusing on the other side. That's what I was trying to do with the Titans anyway.
