I wanted him BAD, but he wasn't available with the 2nd pick. Even when Lynch moved up to draft Pettis, Landry was long gone. I guess you could have drafted him in the first but Mike McG is doing a fine job at RT.

Can you imagine him, Barnett and Buckner? Those are the type of players you want to build your defensive line with. Not AA, Marsh and Solly.

A lot of people were saying that in here, go back and read through the thread. A LOT of people

I'm passing on Barnett IMO he's nothing special as a edge rusher.

The way we're moving guys around we'd have Barnett playing NT.

I'll take a wild guess and say Phoenix wasn't onboard with drafting Landry.

I liked him just fine as a player, this team just hasn't had great luck with players who have injury issues over the past decade. Reports about him having back problems and chronic ankle issues explained why his stock dropped so rapidly.

A note on BC edge player Harold Landry as he remains on the board: Some teams have him flagged medically (knee/back). A difference-maker at an impact position when healthy, though. Had 16.5 sacks in 2016.

The problem is, when Landry fell, virtually everyone was reporting that it was due to concerns about his medicals and his ankle being a ticking time bomb, not his actual ability to play. Its a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" type situation. Imagine if the 49ers had drafted him and he had gone on IR? The same people complaining that the 49ers didn't draft him would be complaining that Lynch blew a pick on an obviously injury-prone player.

If Landy stays healthy then Tennessee got a steal but if his injury issues due eventually catch up with him, it'll be a different story, only time will tell.

Damn wish you told us about the back and knee. Didn't know you had inside info

You're making an assumption that is the only reason he at best goes in the 2nd. He was ROUTINELY mocked in the 20s by national writers but the webzone tried to discredit them. Welp.

I'm willing to guess it was the Titans who started all those medical rumors. LOL

Dude seems perfectly fine...

I understand not wanting to take a chance on him at number 9. I was bummed out but I could understand that we needed our left tackle of the future. Left tackle is just as important as an edge rusher. Especially with the injury rumors. He did have ankle problems and those usually don't just disappear.

But there's no excuse for missing on him in the second. Don't forget we gave up more than the titans to move up to a lower spot! We used 59 and 74 to get to 44. Titans used 57 and 89 to get to 41.

You don't know if Oakland wanted to move down 4 spots.

At least that's what I keep telling myself.

What do you mean 4 spots?

These are my thoughts exactly, I still think he needs a proper inside move before he's in the upper echelon of pass rushers, and I argued there would be better options at 9.

Though we should have made him a priority like we did for Rueben and called every team from about 28 onwards.
