Good Titans Draft Analysis

I've come across some other good analysis on Titans draft.

Mostly coming from CBSSports. Check it out.

Kendall Wright Analysis and News from Matt Rybaltowski of CBS Sports.

First round pick may have all the intangibles

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

Expect WR Kendall Wright to endear himself to teammates with his seflessness and humility. "Receivers have the stereotype that they're a give-me-the-ball type, Kennedy is not that way," said Kendall Briles, Wright's WR coach at Baylor. "He wanted the ball, just because he's so competitive. Despite all the glamour and glitz he never changed."

Ex-coach: Pressure doesn't faze Wright

WR Kendall Wright had a superlative performance last season vs. Oklahoma with eight catches for 208 yards. "Kendall can score from almost anywhere," said Kendal Briles, Wright's inside receiver coach at Baylor. "He can take a quick screen for a long gain and excel with vertical routes on the outside. When it came to the high stage against Texas and Oklahoma, he always performed."

Ex-coach: Wright precise with making reads

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

WR Kendall Wright's ability to improvise quickly could help him make the transition to the NFL seamlessly. "Any receiver can run a 14-yard square-in," said Kendal Briles, Wright's inside receiver coach at Baylor. "But when you're going fast and really moving that's when you're able to differentiate the receivers that can play. Kendall was able to make reads on the run."

An Article from Titansized.com that suggests drafting Wright helps us more than Drafting David Decastro.

Bottom-line, the happiest Titan should be Chris Johnson, he will not face 8 men in the box. He will have more space to run as the season develops and teams realize you can’t stop this receiving corp. with single coverage. But if any team takes the risk of doing that, Hasselbeck or Locker would be pleased to pass for more than 300 yards in that game.

Next: An interesting report on how our 2012 draft picks matched up with our 2011 draft picks for each round.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 1

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

The Titans are in the midst of transitioning from a running offense to a passing attack. After finishing 25th in passing offense in 2010, Tennessee has selected a skilled position on offense in Round 1 the last two seasons. WR Kendall Wright (No. 20 overall) has the ability to become one of Jake Locker's (No. 8 overall) favorite targets for the next decade.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 2

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

Tennessee has selected a playmaker at LB in the second round the last two years. LB Akeem Ayers (No. 39 overall) is regarded for his explosiveness and ability to swarm towards the ball. LB Zach Brown (No. 52 overall) isn't as strong as Ayers but is quicker. Both will be integral in stopping the run (ranked 24th in the NFL in 2011).

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 3

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

The coaching staff has high expectations for DT Mike Martin (No. 82 overall). The former high school wrestler plays with good leverage, which enables him to shed blockers when facing both single and double teams. The expectations are similar to ones placed on DT Jurrell Casey (No. 77 overall). Casey responded with 52 tackles -- a team high among DLs.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 4

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

CB Coty Sensabaugh (No. 115 overall) impressed the staff with his intelligence and thorough explanation of Clemson's defensive scheme during the combine. Still, it might be tough for Sensabaugh to replicate LB Colin McCarthy's (No. 109 overall) rookie year production. McCarthy quickly developed into a playmaker and supplanted starter Barrett Ruud. RB Jamie Harper (No. 130 overall) only had 17 carries in 2011.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 5

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

TE Taylor Thompson (No. 145 overall) played DE at SMU, but probably won't be used as a pass-rusher in the mold of DL Karl Klug (No. 142 overall). Klug unexpectedly led the team with 7.0 sacks in 2011. Unlike Klug, Thompson is a project. His measurables compare with Jimmy Graham, but he hasn't played TE since high school.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 6

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

If FS Markelle Martin (No. 190 overall) recovers quickly from a minor knee injury, he could receive playing time in 2012. More importantly, Martin provides insurance if FS Michael Griffin bolts in free agency after the season. OT Byron Stingily (No. 175 overall) was considered one of the top sleepers in the 2011 draft, but didn't appear in a game last season.

Comparing the last two Titans' drafts: Round 7

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

DE Scott Solomon (No. 211 overall) is a weight room warrior who was menacing off the edge at Rice. With the Titans' lack of depth at DE, Solomon could enter the rotation. Solomon may have less potential than DB Tommie Campbell (No. 251 overall in 2011), but could have a greater impact in his rookie season than DT Zach Clayton (No. 212 overall) had in 2011.

CBSSports and Rybaltowski keeps up the excellent Titans coverage by going over our top 5 UFDA signings.

5 UDFAs to watch: No. 1 -- C Vlachos

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

Alabama C William Vlachos was in high demand after the draft, receiving offers from six teams, according to The Tennessean. Vlachos may have went undrafted simply because the C position is undervalued in the draft. While with the Crimson Tide, Vlachos started 39 games and blocked for two 1,600-yard runners. Center is one of the Titans' biggest needs.

5 UDFAs to watch: No. 2 -- DT Harris

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

USC DT DaJohn Harris (6-3, 306) struggled to develop consistency early in his career, but he benefited from the addition of DL coach Ed Orgeron his final two seasons. With 10-inch hands, he has the technique and hand movements to outmuscle interior linemen. Beside C William Vlachos, Harris might have the best shot of the UDFAs to make the roster.

5 UDFAs to watch: No. 3 -- S Scott

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

An arrest for misdemeanor assault in 2011 may have caused Texas S Christian Scott to go undrafted. Scott (6-0, 225) has decent size and speed (4.58 in the 40-yard dash) and started 14 games at S during his college career. In high school, he played six positions including CB and S. He also competed in five different track events, including high jump.

5 UDFAs to watch: No. 4 -- OL Burden

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

Coach Mike Munchak prefers versatile linemen who can play multiple positions. If Kentucky T Chandler Burden (6-4, 315) demonstrates an ability to play T and G, he has a chance to make the practice squad. Burden started his career at DE before starting 11 games at LT in 2010. Burden may have went undrafted because of concerns with his injured shoulder.

5 UDFAs to watch: No. 5 -- RB Whiting

by Matt Rybaltowski, CBSSports.com

Fordham RB Darryl Whiting has little chance of breaking into a crowded backfield, but he can become a sleeper if he makes the switch to FB. Whiting is 6-3, 235 and could develop into a bruiser if he adds a little weight. FB Ahmard Hall is a free agent and the Titans' run game struggled when Quinn Johnson served as the primary FB last season.
