One thing is for sure if you've been keeping up with the Titans' draft meetings so far. Jon Robinson and company are leaving no stone unturned when if comes to secondary prospects this year. To my count the Titans have met with or worked out eight defensive backs to this point, per Tony Pauline, Rand Getlin and others.
The players range from highly-touted early round prospects to mid to late round small school prospects. The group includes several corners and a handful of safeties with wide ranging skills and abilities. We've got everything from in the box strong safeties to nickel corners.
Here's the list of defensive backs that I've compiled so far. It's a gathering of names that have been reportedly linked to the Titans via twitter or Tony Pauline.
Tavon Young, CB, Temple
Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson
James Bradberry, CB, Samford
Deiondre' Hall, CB/S, Northern Iowa
Miles Killebrew, SS, Southern Utah
Jayron Kearse, S, Clemson
Vonn Bell, FS, Ohio State
Make sure to note that these could be something as simple as a short chat from a scout at a pro day. Regardless of what the meetings actually mean, it's clear that the Titans will be in on more than a couple of secondary prospects this year.
Guys like Mackensie Alexander and Vonn Bell could be in play as highly as pick 33. Others like James Bradberry or Deiondre' Hall could make for an intriguing mid round selection with upside.
Jon Robinson has placed himself in an ideal situation with the signings of Brice McCain and Rashad Johnson. These signings have filled needs and have opened the board up for the Titans to go in a number of different directions. They won't be forced to take any position, other than tackle. With that being said, it does appear that they are thinking secondary on day two. There may be a lot of bodies on the corner and safety depth charts currently, but there is a real lack of talent and youth too.
