Titans go for speed, offense with first-round pick

The Titans had the fifth-best rushing offense in 2007 but could use some speed. Johnson is an explosive runner with good hands and experience running routes, even lining up at wide receiver some at East Carolina.

This is only the third time the Titans have drafted an offensive player in the first round after taking receiver Kevin Dyson in 1998 and Young with the No. 3 pick overall in 2006. This also is the third consecutive year Tennessee has selected a running back after taking Chris Henry in the second round in 2007 and LenDale White of Southern California in the second in 2006.
