Oh man all these defensive draft picks makes me so happy!
The Titans need all the pass rush help they can get, and they just drafted themselves a young beast in Rashad Weaver!
Weaver is a BIG dude which I love. The league has been getting smaller and softer slowly and I love that the Titans want a team of big guys.
Weaver is about six feet, five inches tall and weighs 260+ pounds! That is a big dude! Not only is he big but the dude has a nice smooth set of feet on him. He glides out there when he rushes the passer, while also still looking very strong.
Another cool part about his tape was that he sacked 2021 number one overall pick, QB Trevor Lawrence TWICE. Not only is that cool because Lawrence is a massively hyped QB prospect, but because the Titans will have to face Trevor Lawrence at least twice a season for the foreseeable future, perhaps for the next fifteen years even, Since Lawrence is now a Jacksonville Jaguar, the arch enemies.
It's nice to to know the Titans snagged an edge rusher that has sacked that guy! Hopefully there shall be more sacks on Lawrence!
I get a good vibe from this selection! I think that Rashad Weaver and Monty Rice are some of my favorite selections based on tape!
I watched his post draft interview and he seems like a good dude and seems coachable.
The Titans have not gotten pressure up front in what feels like years. The Titans added DE Bud Dupree, but you don't always know for sure how a free agent signing will play out. Otherwise the Titans have DE Harold Landry who I like a lot and he's still very young. Overall the Titans don't have the greatest DE depth and so getting a good looking prospect like Weaver is great.
Like I said for the 1000th time, the defense was horrible last season sometimes!
Weaver is just a fourth round pick which isn't a pick you would always expect a lot from but I have a good feeling about Weaver! A man that big should not be able to glide like that while also being a bully!
Welcome to the team Rashad Weaver and #Titanup!
