WOW... just WOW... i do not understand this at all...

TENNESSEE: The Titans really struck out at the top of the draft between 2003 and 2005, picks that included cornerbacks Pacman Jones and Andre Woolfolk. However, the 2005 draft did bring offensive tackles Michael Roos and David Stewart and Bo Scaife. CB Cortland Finnegan, a star last season, was the 215th pick in 2006. The Titans found two more secondary starters in the 2006-'07 drafts, one that also included Vince Young, who still has a ways to go to be a starting NFL quarterback. RB Chris Johnson was a great pick last season.
Picks: 57
First-round picks: 6
Starters: 9
Pro Bowlers: 1
Grade: C-

Vince Young, Chris Johnson, Michael Griffin, Cortland Finnegan... isn't that 4 pro bowlers right there. I'm not saying we were the best but to have us rated so low compared to the rest of the league.

We are graded the same as the Raiders, Bengals, Browns and LOWER than the 49ers and the Rams... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?... this guy must live under a rock

What.. the... BLEEP?

Yeah, this guy is smoking some heavy crack or just has osemthing against the team. Yea, Air McNair is right, the # of Pro Bowlers drafted is at least 4, not to mention that using Pro Bowls as a measuring stick is a little unfair.

First off, it’s becoming more and more of a popularity contest.
Second, Pro Bowl selection at certain position is biased towards certain schemes. For example, OLB is biased towards 3-4 defenses because the OLB in that scheme will get more sacks than in a 4-3.

ridiculous

fox’s sports apparently aren’t much better than their “news”. if you read the comments, several franchises have people complaining that his numbers are just flat wrong, and the titans sure as hell are.

5 pro bowlers(slightly different than 1): VY, CJ, Griffin, Cort, Roos

so a shut down corner, ball hawk safety, book end tackles, a RB who was flat out electrifying, a quality starting TE, and numerous quality d-line guys is a C-? for crying out loud, they gave the DAN SNYDERS a B!!!!

Absolut BS

It’s pretty obvious these people have no freaking idea what they’re talking about.

Cortland Finnegan is a beast

Agreed

I came across this article before this post and I was thinking the same thing; this guy is garbage of a writer. He makes The Tennessean’s Jim Wyatt look good (I can’t stand that guy he’s always negative about the Titans no matter the subject matter). But I agree we struck out on a couple top picks but the overall quality of our draft is a minimum B+

Chris Johnson---everything Reggie Bush was supposed to be.
