It's not looking great after this preseason, after the reports we're hearing out of Tennessee.
Cam Ward really not looking comfortable in this new offense.
The offensive line still being a, a huge problem there, and that could make things very difficult in terms of the learning curve with this new offense and taking advantage of some of these new weapons that he has in Khalil Tate and Wandel Robinson, and really just this offense as a whole.
On top of that for Pollard, we're seeing Tajae Spears get used more than him in the preseason.
Now, is that a scenario that, you know, it's a veteran back and they don't wanna overwork Pollard?
Maybe, but it also seems like that's the way, the way the coaching staff wants to approach this.
That's kind of what they've said, that they see both these guys getting a lot of work.
And then later in the season, when I think they inevitably fall out of the playoff mix, neither of these two are on, are under contract next year.
So could we see them maybe get Nick Singleton out there, the rookie, to see what they have in him, and could that complicate Pollard's fantasy outlook later in the season?
It just, it all comes together, Harmon, to just make you not wanna draft Tony Pollard.
I don't see the ceiling for him.
I don't really see him being as valuable later in the year.
So what are we doing taking him there?
I'd much rather address the position earlier, and then once we get to that stage where he's going, I wanna be looking at quarterback potentially.
I wanna be hitting wide receivers.
I think there's other running backs in that range that are interesting.
Like, just don't waste a pick on Tony Pollard.
Yeah.
You have him 86th.
I kinda have him in the same range, along with ADP here.
Just sometimes there's a team that you can just, like, cross off your draft board, and I kinda feel like the Tennessee Titans are that team this year
