William Hayes was a little bit of a reach in the 4th round as not many draft experts thought he would get drafted at all.  Hayes is 6′2″, 258 and he dominated at Winston-Salem State but he will likely have some problems adjusting to the speed and power of the NFL.  Hayes played in 30 games (22 starts) at Winston-Salem State and he made 150 tackles, had 37 tackles for a loss, 15 sacks, forced 8 fumbles and recovered 6 fumbles.  It will likely take some time before Hayes is ready to produce in the NFL.

The Titans must have felt that they needed a run blocking TE for the end of the O-Line.  He is 6′3″, 255 pounds and he runs a 4.78 40.  Stevens isn’t much of a receiver but he might improve at it with hard work.  He played in 50 games (33 starts) at California and he caught 51 passes for 669 yards (13.1 avg) with 7 TD runs.  The Titans should have gotten a TE that can catch the ball to team with Alge Crumpler……and Martin Rucker of Missouri was still on the board when they picked.
