The Titans add size, speed as they use 5 of 7 NFL draft picks to boost their defense

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ran Carthon went all offense in his first draft as the Tennessee Titans general manager a year ago. This time around, five of the Titans’ seven NFL draft picks came on defense with Carthon letting the draft board dictate the selections. The Titans took Alabama’s JC Latham and will start him out at left tackle — a position where four different players started last season for Tennessee. The Titans might have the biggest first two picks for any team with defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat of Texas at 6-4 and 366 pounds. Linebacker Cedric Gray, the 106th pick overall in the fourth round, said he’s looking forward to roaming to tackle with Sweat taking up so much space in front of him.
