From the looks of it, it seems like Fisher tried to get impact offensive players early then draft for his defense....Just look all the quality 1st round picks ....even though pacman didn pan out he starts in cinci

EDIT: Also keep in mind no Offensive lineman taken in the 1st might not look good for the Kalil supporters

[ZiaRam]

the vast majority are defensive draftees with some impact offensive players sprinkled in.. i still think we take blackmon outside of a trade.

What i mean is 3 out of fisher's 1st four drafts with the Titans (oilers) he took his offensive impact players...we have the QB part already (Jax has a couple good years left) so we will need the RB and WR

[RebelYell]

Was Fisher responsible for the draft while with the Titans?


I only looked at a few seasons but:
2007 not a great draft
Amazing how many players are still on the roster from 2008 and 2009. I mean, wow?

[sosa39rams]

He is great at finding late talent.

Alterraun Verner who is spectacular, Marc Mariani one of the best returners, Jared Cook a beast TE.
Gerald McRath is a nice OLB.
Javon Ringer's a solid backup RB.
Jason McCourty is a great nickel back find.
Leroy Harris was a nice find at OG.
Cary Williams was an awesome 7th round CB, now with the Ravens started 16 games and played great.
Finnegan a pro bowl CB found in 7th round.
Tulloch a pro bowl MLB found in 4th round.


Need I say more?

The title of this thread should read: "Jeff Fisher - Floyd Reese/Mike Reinfeldt - Bud Adams Draft History with the Titans"

That would paint a more accurate picture.

[Ban Hammer]

If Fisher had his way, who would they have selected in 2006? It's my understanding that Vince Young was a Bud Adams guy through and through.

Fisher is connected with USC is he not? There may have been a USC QB in that draft too. (I'm not sure Fisher has ever publicly stated who he wanted has he?)


... oh hell. This could mean we're trading Bradford to get Barkley next year. /tinfoilhat

[Rambos]

I counted two RB taken in the first Rd and two taken in the second Rd... don't know what that means... and 2006 and 2007 back to back high draft picks where running backs...

1 Chris Johnson RB

2 LenDale White RB

[laram0]

Well I'm looking forward to Fisher making the most of our draft picks 4th round thru 7th instead of wasting them like we have in the past. Also I have to believe Fisher will be allowed to make a splash in the FA market.

[shower beers]

Very cool, thanks for sharing this!

[TNT]

The drafting process with the Titans has always been clouded in mystery - did Jeff have final say? I don't know. He certainly isn't solely responsible either way though. Between Floyd Reese and Mike Renfeldt, the Titans have mostly had an active GM with Fisher around.

It's generally considered popular belief amongst Titans fans that he wanted Kevin Carter over Steve McNair, Leinart over Young and Cutler, and it was also Fisher who won the power struggle between picking LenDale White or Devin Hester, who the Titans GM at the time actually already rang and told he was going to be their selection.

[xpmar9x]

Our GMs (Floyd Reese and Mike Reinfeldt) and owner (Bud Adams) always had the final say it seems. It's impossible to know exactly who has the final say, but from most media outlets.. seems to be the front office and not coach. We also have a couple of VPs who are normally very important in those meetings (like Lake Dawson, who you're trying to steal from us).

As someone mentioned, it was VERY well known that Fisher wanted Lienart, but we drafted VY. That's a pretty important draft with the #3 pick and a franchise QB on the line. But yet, we went with VY and well we know how that worked out.

So i'm not sure exactly how much of his draft history is helpful. I'm sure Fisher had his say, but most of the credit, or lack of credit, should be directed to our front office. In fact, Titans 2011 draft seems to be one of the best ever for us (potentially)... and there was no Fisher.
