NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans have selected fullback Jalston Fowler of Alabama with their second pick in the fourth round.

The Titans picked Fowler at No. 108 overall Saturday with the ninth spot in the fourth round, a selection added Friday night in a trade with the New York Giants.

The 5-foot-11, 254-pound Fowler blocked for Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy before a knee injury ended his season in 2012. He started five games as a senior last season running for 69 yards and catching 11 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns. He also played in the Senior Bowl for the South, while the Titans coaching staff handled the North squad.

The Titans have selected the running back they said they wanted out of the final day of the NFL draft in David Cobb of Minnesota.

The Titans picked Cobb at No. 138 overall Saturday in the fifth round.

The 5-foot-11, 229-pound Cobb set a single-season record at Minnesota last year running for 1,626 yards and averaged 5.2 yards per carry with 13 touchdowns. He ran for a career-high 220 yards against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 6, 2014 and had seven 100-yard games last season.

The Titans got to see Cobb up close coaching him with the North squad at the Senior Bowl in late January.

The team selected their second defensive player of the NFL Draft, taking outside linebacker Deiontrez Mount of Louisville.

The Titans took Mount at No. 177 overall with the first pick of the sixth round. It's their first of two picks in the round.

Mount visited the Titans before the draft, and he will help their outside pass rush. The 6-foot-5, 249-pound linebacker played four seasons at Louisville where he had 18 tackles for loss and 9 1/2 sacks in his career. Five of those sacks came last year as a senior in 13 games.

The Titans also took defensive tackle Angelo Blackson with the first pick in the fourth round.

In the sixth round, the Titans have selected Boston College center Andy Gallik with their second pick in the sixth round, adding much-needed depth to their offensive line.

The Titans used the 208th pick overall on Gallik on Saturday.

The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Gallik started 40 games at center at Boston College, including all 12 last season, and was one of the six finalists for the Rimington Trophy given to the best center. He helped block for the nation's 14th-best run game.

The Titans drafted Brian Schwenke out of California in the fourth round in 2013, but he has struggled with injuries through his first two seasons that limited him to 20 games the past two seasons.

And for their final pick in the NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected wide receiver Tre McBride of William & Mary from the Football Championship Subdivision.

The Titans made McBride the 245th overall pick Saturday with a selection added through a trade Friday with the New York Giants.

The 6-foot, 210-pound McBride was a three-time All-Colonial Athletic Association pick at wide receiver. He finished with 196 catches for 2,653 yards receiving in his career with 19 touchdown catches. He also returned kicks and ranked second in the CAA last season averaging 131.2 all-purpose yards per game.

He played in the East-West Shrine Game where he impressed scouts with his speed.
