Tennessee Titans Draft Review

The Titans want to keep up the momentum they finished the season with last year and proved they’re more talented than people were giving them credit for. With the loss of Kyle Vanden Bosch Tennessee saw a need at defensive end. Derrick Morgan out of Georgia Tech will fill that void. He’s the total package at the end position and should help with both the run and pass defense. With Vince Young emerging the Titans drafted Southern Cal receiver Damian Williams. He’s got good speed and hands and could be a factor in the return game for them.

Keith Bulluck was another veteran lost to free agency so linebacker was a bit of a concern. Linebacker Rennie Curran from Georgia is a bit undersized, but has some intangibles that Jeff Fisher loves. The secondary was in need of some talent and got it. UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner, Utah corner Robert Johnson and FSU strong safety Myron Rolle should all contribute. Rolle is the real question mark in most peoples minds. There’s a good chance he’ll be the smartest player on the field at all times, and if he can prove he’s dedicated to football he will be a Pro Bowler for years to come. The backup quarterback position was a concern so they drafted Rusty Smith from Florida Atlantic. The Owls quarterback has all the physical traits and could develop well under Fisher.

They brought in one more target for Vince Young. Montana receiver Marc Mariani has some upside but looks to work his way onto the roster via special teams. They also added a little more bulk to the middle of their defense by drafting Brown defensive tackle David Howard. The Titans had a solid draft. And with some quality coaching from Jeff Fisher it could look better and better every year.
