Tennessee Titans Draft Day 1

I'm a Titan fan and have looked forward to the draft. I gotta say I'm disappointed overall right now. Going in the Titans have a ton of holes to fill, including safety, cornerback, defensive end, runningback, and wide reciever.

I really like the pick of a safety with the first pick, although I thought we would take Reggie Nelson from Florida when he was there on the board for the 19th pick. Instead they took Michael Griffin from Texas. But if Griffin can play it definitely upgrades us at probably our weakest defensive position. Current starter Lamont Thompson seems to get burned badly several plays a game, often costing us a touchdown.

The second and third round picks I'm less happy with. Chris Henry RB out of Arizona and Paul Williams WR of Fresno state both seem like workout warriers with good workout numbers, but whose collegiate performance levels seem poor to be considered as 2nd and 3rd round picks. Chris Henry had less than 1000 yards rushing in his entire career at RB. Paul Williams WR had just over 1000 recieving yards in his career at Fresno.

Thought 1 - Chris Henry was the 4th Running Back taken in the draft and he couldn't even win the starting job in college. I'm concerned we've drafted some great workout stats, but not much of a football player.

Thought 2 - Paul Williams has a great highlight film, but Fresno doesn't exactly play the best competition, and he didn't exactly perform even at that level. Like Henry he has some good physical stats, but is that going to translate into football production?
