I didn't think drafting an RB, as such, was a bad move for Tennessee.  White is not a premier runner... he's better suited to the short yardage/goal line stuff, and maybe blocking downs.  What this pick really says is that the guy they picked last year didn't pan out as well as they had hoped he would.

That being said, I might have waitied until round 2 or 3.  There were a lot of good RB available in this draft to choose from.

As for the trade of Jones, if a 4th was the best offer on the table, take it and run.  Bottom line was that after their history with Pacman, they needed to cut their losses and move on without him.  Anything they got in trade was better than the nothing they would have got for cutting him.  I think they did the right thing under the circumstances.  Even if you believe he can come back and be a great player, I think it still had to be done... there were just too many bridges burned in Tennessee for him to come back.

We also get the Cowboy's fifth next year if he plays some, or thier fourth if he plays alot. We've gotta give them our fourth if he doesn't play though.

And I've heard to local radio guys talk about Chris Johnson and they said that he fits perfectly with the type of stuff that Mike Heimerdinger likes to do. We'll probably see him splitting out wide, running post routes and stuff like that to take advantage of his world-class speed.

Once he adjusts to the NFL level of competition, I think he can be a similar player to Brian Wesbrook, I can only hope that he'll be as good.

I have watched Chris Johnson his whole carreer at ECU and he is a player.  He was a Wide Reciever his first 2 years, and was coverted to RB his last 2.  He also returned kick offs and punts for us....ECU tried everything to get the ball in his hands, because he can use his speed to take it the distance for a TD every time he touches the ball.  Also, he is deceptively strong....he doesn't just run around people, he can run through people as well.....I wish the Panthers had drafted him instead of Tennessee....

Don't be upset that you didn't draft CJ....you guys did get J Stewart, and being a Duck, I got to watch him for the past 3 years, and he will be a great NFL back.  He is punishing - think Earl Campbell - and I love his stiff-arm, he dropped many a DB with his strength.
