The Tennessee Titans didn’t help the team much last April
The Titans drafted 11 players last April and only one of them (Kenny Britt) had much of a impact. They need to do better this April. WR Kenny Britt (1st round, #30 overall) out of Rutgers was a solid player for the Titans last season. He played in all 16 games for the Titans last season and he caught 42 passes for 701 yards (16.7 avg) with 3 TD grabs. Britt also helped out some on special teams as he returned 24 kickoffs for 523 yards (21.8 avg). DT Sen’ Derrick Marks (2nd round, #62 overall) out of Auburn didn’t help much as a rookie. He played in 9 games for the Titans last season and he finished up with only 12 tackles, 1 sack and 1 pass defensed. TE Jared Cook (3rd round, #89 overall) had a good pre-season for the Titans but when the real bullets started flying he didn’t help out too much. Cook played in 14 games for the Titans last season and he caught 9 passes for 74 yards (8.2 avg). CB Ryan Mouton (3rd round, #94 overall) out of Hawaii got some P.T. as a rookie last season. He played in 14 games for the Titans last season and he finished up with 24 tackles including 1 tackle that was for a loss. Linebacker Gerald McRath (4th round, #130 overall) out of Southern Mississippi pitched in playing in all 16 games for the Titans last season in which he made 47 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, defensed 1 pass and he picked off a pass. OT Troy Kropog (4th round, #135 overall) out of Tulane only played in 1 game (0 starts) for the Titans as a rookie. RB Javon Ringer (5th round, #173 overall) out of Michigan State played in 7 games last season for the Titans and he carried the ball 8 times for 48 yards (6.0 ypc). He also returned 9 kickoffs for 181 yards (20.1 avg) and he made 1 tackle. Keep your eyes on Ringer as he could move up the depth chart soon. CB Jason McCourty (6th round, #203 overall) out of Rutgers played in 15 games for the Titans last season and he made 29 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and he forced a fumble. WR Dominique Edison (6th round, #206 overall) out of Stephen F. Austin played in 5 games for the Titans as a rookie but he didn’t catch any passes. Guard Ryan Durand (#239 overall, Syracuse) and free safety Nick Schommer (#242 overall, North Dakota State) were both picked in the 7th round by the Titans last April and neither of them made it to the field.
