00:00AJ Brown is a Pro Bowl All-Pro caliber receiver.
00:04He was the second round pick, 51st overall.
00:07That's the one receiver in Tennessee that they drafted.
00:09You wanna hear the other ones that didn't work out?
00:11They drafted a bunch.
00:12I mean, it wasn't Vrabel drafting him, though.
00:14I mean, famously, it was Jon Robinson
00:16who we thought he could replace AJ Brown.
00:17True.
00:18But some of this was even before that, right?
00:20So...
00:21Yeah, but I don't think Vrabel had roster control.
00:23No, but he's the coach there,
00:25and they're trying to fit to his system.
00:27Like, this is one of the things
00:27you've already heard about Vrabel.
00:29They traded away his best receiver when he said, don't.
00:32Right.
00:33So, I mean, I don't know if he had full say
00:34on who to draft, either.
00:35Nope, that's fair.
00:36But Ryan Cowden was their director of personnel,
00:39or whatever he was, pro personnel.
00:40And so...
00:42But then you look at this more as a Jon Robinson thing,
00:43because Jon Robinson also worked with Bill Belichick,
00:47and those guys all together famously can't draft receivers.
00:49So you put none of this on, Vrabel?
00:50Let's give you the names.
00:51Yeah, go ahead.
00:52Corey Davis, fifth overall pick.
00:54Bust.
00:54That was bad.
00:55Traylon Burks was the replacement for AJ Brown,
00:57the first round pick, 18th overall.
00:59Bust.
01:00AJ Brown was in the second round.
01:01Other than that, these were later picks in their defense,
01:03but that's two first rounders they whiffed on.
01:05Well, Corey Davis was an insanely high pick.
01:07Fifth overall for a receiver, and yeah.
01:10The other receivers, and these are all third round
01:13to be on, Taewon Taylor, Des Fitzpatrick,
01:15TyJay Sharp, did he go to UMass?
01:17Yes.
01:18TyJay Sharp, Kyle Phillips, Racy McMath.
01:21I don't remember him.
01:21Racy McMath?
01:23No chance that's a real name, is what it says.
01:26That's a Key and Peele skit.
01:27That is Racy McMath, Appalachian State, and Colton Dowell.
01:33So I'd focus mostly on the top.
01:35They whiffed on their two first round receivers in Tennessee.
01:38It doesn't sound like it's a red flag for you,
01:40but I'll ask anyway.
01:42Does that concern you at all with Mike Vrabel
01:44and at least their track record
01:45of drafting receivers in Tennessee?
01:47And does that inform you that maybe steer clear
01:49of the draft altogether and go all in
01:51in free agency and trace?
01:52Yeah, I was already there anyway.
01:53That's true.
01:54I mean, regardless of what his track record was.
