Your Tennessee Titans Select Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers

Well I had a whole post written up on Beanie Wells, but I sure am glad that I did not have to use it.  I really like this pick for a lot of reasons.  Here are a few:

  1. He is believed by many to be the best route runner in this draft.  That is more important that 40 times.
  2. This marks the first time the Titans have taken a receiver in the first round since they passed on Randy Moss to take Kevin Dyson.  We were all sick of seeing a stable of middle round receivers that just ended up washing out.  This is a guy they will be looking for opportunities to get on the field.
There will be a lot more coming on this pick today, but for now let's just rejoice that the Titans finally took a wide receiver in the first round.

That is fine with me

No picks given up and not a lot of cap space eaten up.

i'm still unsure of this pick...

this is not a pick of best guy left on the board. and i thought this guy should be a middle 2nd round pick.

Go Titans!

Yup.

You said a mouthfull.

I was hoping that the Titans would at least trade up after Britt and get more top-level talent.

But it looks like the usual. Just bring in ten rookies to a team that should be adding the final piece(s) for a title run.

Instead, we’re always reloading for the next season’s Free Agent departures…..

I wanna hear what this guy has to say about being a Titan

"the views displayed by Mr.Norhtnashville in no way reflect the views of more mature Titan fans. Viewer discretion is advised. Loser.

It better be alot of 'im so lucky" or our luck "Hows the stripclubs in Nash?"

Another #2 WR; what a shock.

Where are the fans

Britt was one of the guys we brought in to work out. Plus I still say that Washington is going to impress, filled in nicely for Pitt last year when Holmes was on weed suspension.

The highlight reel

looks pretty good. Doesn’t get me as excited as CJs did last year, but not bad. I don’t watch college ball at all, so know nothing, but those highlights make him look like a guy that’s pretty good in traffic, bounces off tacklers, and can dive and jump up for some balls.

It sounded like Heimerdinger was pretty excited about it, and they had looked pretty hard at him ahead of time — so here’s hoping we have a rare successful early-round WR pick….
