Ohio State. 150. player. 35. Scouting Report. Running back. Trey Sermon. Pick Analysis

At some point, the Titans need to find a way to lower Henry’s regular-season workload. Nabbing a physical rusher like Sermon in Round 5 could provide Tennessee with a cost-effective way to do just that.

No collegiate rusher runs with the power that Henry does, but Sermon is a player that takes

pleasure in doling out punishment to would-be tacklers. The Titans can overlook his inability to make a positive impact in the passing game as a fifth-rounder.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. West Virginia. Darius Stills. 161. player. Interior defensive lineman. 35

Stills isn’t very refined as a defensive lineman prospect, but he’s got the athleticism required to grow into a starter over time. The Titans can afford to gamble on his physical talent. He won’t be ready to play big snaps during his rookie season, but he could make an impact early on as a pass rusher due to his ability to knife past offensive lineman.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Colorado State. 35. Wide receiver. Warren Jackson. 192. player

Tannehill could benefit from the Titans adding more size on the perimeter. Jackson lands the top-end speed to be a solid starter at the next level, but his size and length give him a chance to grow into a red-zone weapon.
