    Team first

    Course on second thought, maybe they want to fill out the team with high character guys so that the gotitans low character guys will hate the team and leave. Just a thought, but I can think of a couple this might work on.

    Johnson is a big defensive tackle who joins the Titans from Penn State, just as fourth-round defensive end DaQuan Jones did two years ago. The draft is loaded with defensive-line talent, and the Titans figured to take a piece of it along the way. For maximum value, he’d be able to play end in base and work inside next to Jurrell Casey in nickel. Johnson is not a major need filler, but clearly new GM Jon Robinson saw Johnson as a value at No. 43. Thumbs up. -- Paul Kuharsky

    Dodd was a good pick. Johnson was a little questionable with A'Shawn still on the board. But, Johnson was being mocked in the 2nd round in many drafts.

    Not thrilled about the Henry pick considering our other needs. Mackenzie Alexander or Vonn Bell would have been my preference.

    I personally love our defensive line now! We also now have a third pass rusher that can either play defensive end or outside linebacker. Yes I would've liked to pick up one of the main corners, but when we got consistent pressure early in the year our pass defense was actually pretty good. I think Johnson could start over Woods by midseason.
