TITANS SELECT 10 IN 2007 NFL DRAFT
Another year, another draft! This year’s has most Titans fans scratching their heads. Michael Griffin is a great player and even though there is a need in the secondary, many felt there were bigger needs at other positions. Six of the 10 picks were on offense, half of them are wide receivers. Paul Williams, Chris Davis & Joel Filani are not big names but they all can contribute in different ways. Filani can work the outside, Williams can go inside, while Davis is a speedster that will contribute more on special teams. Leroy Harris & Mike Otto were high on the Titans board for Offensive Lineman. Running back Chris Henry came on strong his senior season once he was healthy and will give Lendale White a run for his money to start.
Defensive Tackle Antonio Johnson doesn’t have much playing experience, but all of his upsides will make Jeese Mahelona compete even harder. Look for Jacob Ford to add much needed speed on the outside of the line. The surprise could be Florida cornerback Ryan Smith who had 8 interceptions last season.
So hard to grade this class! In Michael Griffin you know what your going to get, the others we will have to wait and see. Another key date for the Titans is June 1st, that’s when all the salary cap cuts will come flying in. Here’s a list of the Titans 2007 Draft Class.

I was very disappointed they didn’t pick Meachum from UT. But I guess they know what they are doing. Would loved to have seen at least one UT player on the upcoming roster tho.
