The Titans add size, speed as they use 5 of 7 NFL draft picks to boost their defense
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ran Carthon went all offense in his first draft as the Tennessee Titans general manager a year ago.
This time around, five of the Titans’ seven NFL draft picks came on defense with Carthon letting the draft board dictate the selections.
“We kind of figured the front end of the draft would probably be heavy offense, and then the back half will be heavy defense and that’s kind of how it went for us,” Carthon said Saturday night.
The Titans had only three selections in the first 106 picks. But they saw six of the seven players drafted in action at the Senior Bowl.
They took a big step in shoring up the offensive line at No. 7 overall with JC Latham of Alabama, who will work at left tackle under line guru Bill Callahan. The Titans later took wide receiver and returner Jha’Quan Jackson out of Tulane in the sixth round at No. 182.
