I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of the whole virtual NFL draft shenanigans I thought we were all going to witness, but it’s been great. You get to see the NFL executives and head coaches in their normal settings at home with kids and family in their own element. It adds a little human element to the whole thing.
And, for the most part, the communication and virtual setting has been fantastic, with hardly andy things going bump in the night. And if you’ve worked with that amount of technology before, you know how easy these things can go south in a hurry.
Still, we all witnessed some very bizarre things when Tennessee’s first-round pick came about. I’m still not sure what we saw. Seeing former Ohio State assistant, and current Titans head coach Mike Vrabel sitting down with a dip in his front lip wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but that’s about all that wasn’t strange.
Here’s a quick reminder. Just to the left of Vrabel was what we believe to be a human dressed as, well — your guess is as good as mine. And, maybe even more disturbing, it looks like someone may be sitting on the porcelain throne just over the shoulder of the unknown figure.

But back to the outfit. Is that supposed to be a Titan? If so, someone needs a serious redesign. Somehow, someway, that gentleman woke up and picked out his attire thinking it would look good on national television. I’m not sure what materials make up such a classic look, but it looks like it might be spandex on spandex on materials yet to be identified.
In case you forgot with all the distractions, the Titans did select a player at No. 29 overall. They took Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson.
Perhaps what’s even more amazing is about this whole production is that Vrabel seems to be going about his business as if there’s nothing abnormal going on behind him. I always knew focus was a strength of his ever since he was sacking opposing quarterbacks in Columbus.
