Round 1
Surprise! The Tennessee Titans sent shockwaves through the football world Thursday at the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, selecting Ohio State Wide Receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick.

The Tennessee Titans made another bold move in the first round, trading up to the No. 31 overall pick to select Keldric Faulk, Auburn defensive end.
