The Titans selected nine players in the three day draft, highlighted by two first round picks: wide receiver Corey Davis from Western Michigan and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson from USC.

“We’re just excited about the guys we were able to add,” said Titans General Manager Jon Robinson. “It’s just another year in the process here, and we’re excited about the direction of our football team.”

Titans Head Coach Mike Mularkey added: “[We want] to make it a very competitive roster, [and] I think we’ve done that again this year with these picks.”
