Jon Robinson was the best and right choice for Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans have hired Jon Robinson to be the next General Manager of the Tennessee Titans.

My top two choices for this job were Eric Decosta and Chris Ballard. The first declined and the other got the last interview, which is generally associated with a lot of momentum.

What that means is that the Titans must have really been infatuated with Robinson to choose him after all that consideration. It sure doesn’t hurt that he is a local guy who wants this job and that everyone speaks very highly of him.

So, let’s look at some reasons why he is the right choice.

“Analytical”

Paul Kuharsky did an interview today on 104.5 with the beat writer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he said that Robinson was “analytical” meaning that everything has a purpose.

He also went on to say that if there was an edge to be found, Robinson would find it after years of working with the New England Patriots. Whether that means using data beyond the film or not, although he was very adamant about the fact that he is a film fanatic that will grind tape of players and go on the road instead of sitting back in the office.

2015 NFL Draft

So, everyone knows that the Titans drafted behind the Bucs in the 2015 NFL Draft, well look how much better their draft was aside from Marcus Mariota.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers picks:

-QB Jameis Winston, starting quarterback who looked very capable.

-LT Donovan Smith, a good young tackle that started every snap at left tackle.

-G Ali Marpet, a talented small school guy who looks good inside.

-LB Kwon Alexander, maybe the third best defender on that team already behind Lavonte David and Gerald McCoy.

-WR Kaelin Clay (who was cut by Lovie Smith) a 6th round WR who had nearly 250 yards and a touchdown. Compare that to Tre McBride (who I like) who had 2 catches for 8 yards and a TD.

-RB Joey Iosefa (cut by Lovie Smith) the guy who ran for 3.6 YPC against the Titans for the Patriots.

-UDFA WR Adam Humphries, who caught 27 receptions for 260 yards and a touchdown.

To get a contributor with literally every pick in the draft AND in UDFA is outstanding. The Titans under Webster struggled to get three contributors per draft.

Other drafts

Robinson is seen as a keen talent evaluator, and he is also partially responsible for some other big names. Here is a list compiled by John Glennon of the Tennessean.

-WR Mike Evans

-TE Austin Safarian-Jenkins

-RB Charles Sims

-S Patrick Chung

– CB Darius Butler

-WR Julian Edelman

-S Devin McCourty

-TE Rob Gronkowski

-LT Nate Solder

-RB Shane Vereen

-DE Chandler Jones

-LB Dont’A Hightower

-CB Logan Ryan

-LB Jamie Collins

That is an amazing collection of talent, and the Patriots players are the cornerstone of that Super Bowl winning team last year.

This guy looks great on paper, and whether or not he retains Mike Mularkey, I think you have to be very happy with this signing if you are a Tennessee Titans fan.
