The Tennessee Titans promise to run the pigskin a lot in 2013 and they will have a refreshed presumably CJ2K and a revamped O-Line. Is QB Jake Locker the answer as the titans went and picked up ex-Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The "D" picked up hard-hitting Bernard Pollard and DE Kamerion Wimbley. The Titans should have a new attitude adding some of the new pieces especially Pollard.

2013 TITANS Draft Picks and Grade

Round Pick Position Player College

1 10 OG Chance Warmack #RollTide

2 2 WR Justin Hunter #RockyTopUT

3 8 CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson #UConn

3 35 OLB Zavier Gooden #Mizzou

4 10 C Brian Schwenke #Cal

5 9 DE Lavar Edwards #GeauxTigers

6 34 CB Kahlid Wooten #NevadaWolfPack

7 42 FS Daimion Stafford #BigRedLincoln

Warmack was an excellent pick a many though he was the best Interior O-Lineman in the 2013 NFL Draft. He should create some nice holes for Back like CJ2K who like to stay outside. Warmack is penciled in at RG with RT David Stewart.

Hunter will be a better pro then teammate and Vikes 1st Round Pick Cordarrelle Patterson. He is more of a complete WR at this stage than Patterson and a freak athletically. Reminds of former Bear and Titan WR Justin Gage with his body type. Another excellent pick for the Titans but whose throwing to him?

Wilson is one of Five Players off that UConn "D" that went into the Draft and is a big corner at 6'2" just under 200 el bees. He is more of a Cover 2 Scheme Corner but can play press man or Bump and run. He will be behind Titans Starter for now at Weak side Corner Alterraun Verner.

Gooden from Mizzou has a chance to be a real good one as they might put him Inside. He is a three down Backer that is real fluid in pass coverage with size and ran the fastest 40 for a backer at the Combine...4.47. For a 6'2" and just north of 230 el bee's backer that is fast fast. As we go to press he is penciled at Weak side Backer behind Zach Brown. Could be a major asset on Special Teams with that speed.

Schwenke of Cal adds to important depth at Center as they Titans try address an above average O-Line in 2012.

Edwards is another LSU Tigers Defender that was selected and the most a. He is somewhat raw but he flies to the Pigskin and is athletic. He is right behind former Ramblin' Wreck All-American Derrick Morgan and should see snaps on that D-Line day one.  

Wooten is buried behind McCourty and Sensabaugh on the Depth Chart at Strong Side CB. He should be able to contribute right away on Special Teams if he makes the Team.

Stafford is a long shot to make it as the Titans are loaded up at Safety and with Pollard joining Michael Griffin. Staff has a shot as he has to make a lasting impression in camp and on Special Teams in the pre season.

Overall the Titans had a solid draft and the Warmack and Hunter Picks along with Wilson and Gooden gives them a solid B. Warmack and Hunter should be 2013 Impact Players for the Titans.
