Titans Take, at 24th, RB Chris Johnson

This is a REALLY weird pick. First of all, they already have LenDale White and Chris Henry. Secondly, there are a huge number of talented corners on the board, Mike Jenkins especially. He has a whole lot of value in the return game, and so this could go a while in explaining the pick since the Titans have had trouble with kick and punt return since Pacman Jones' suspension. 

What you have to look at is how they lost both Antwan Odom and Travis LaBoy on defense, as well as Jacob Bell along the O-line. They are also facing possible contract problems with DT Haynesworth. Along with WR (which it's too early for), these were the positions of need for the Titans. Not using the draft pick on any of these positions is, in my opinion, a bit of a waste.
