Best Titans Draft Picks, No. 5: OT Michael Roos

by Jimmy on Apr 24, 2011 12:02 PM CDT

Over the next few weeks heading up to the draft we will be highlighting the biggest busts and greatest picks in the history of the Titans. I have decided to only look at the picks the franchise has made since the move to Tennessee instead of trying to look back at the entire history of the franchise.

Now we will countdown the top 10 best picks in franchise history.

I mentioned Michael Roos in the post yesterday about the 2005 draft. The Titans were actually able to trade back in the second round and pick him up with the 41st overall pick. Roos is one of the best and most underrated offensive tackles in the league. He was first team All-Pro in 2008 and made the Pro Bowl.

Top 10 Busts:

#10 Shad Meier
#9 Tyrone Calico
#8 Ben Troupe
#7 Courtney Roby
#6 Paul Williams
#5 Kevin Dyson
#4 Chris Henry
#3 Andre Woolfolk
#2 Adam Jones
#1 Vince Young

Top 10 Successes:

#10 Marc Mariani
#9 Bo Scaife
#8 Jevon Kearse
#7 Albert Haynesworth
#6 Keith Bulluck

One of the best IMO

I think it’s safe to say that he’s entered the group of elite OLs in the NFL.

I live in the OC.
The one in OH.

What a great pick.

I remember when he was drafted. There was a lot of talk about him only playing football for a few years, and how unpolished he was. It didn’t take Munchak long to fix that.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"
