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.
