NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The big smile that Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon flashed to open his post-draft news conference said it all.
Carthon had just orchestrated a draft that allowed the Titans to potentially address several needs for a roster that was desperately in need of a talent influx. The second-year GM explained how good he feels about the draft results because he believes they picked players who will compete to start right away.
First-round pick JC Latham should fill a huge void at left tackle. T'Vondre Sweat gets to pair with veteran defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to give the Titans a physical tandem up front.
