Nashville, TN – Tennessee Titans har foretaget en strategisk manøvre i NFL Draftens første runde ved at handle sig tilbage i top-32 og dermed sikre sig Auburns defensive end Keldric Faulk som det samlede 31. valg.
Træner Robert Saleh stod over for en udfordring, da Titans oprindeligt havde planer om at gå offensivt tidligt i draften. I stedet valgte holdet at prioritere en defensiv spiller, hvilket viste sig at være en klog beslutning.
Handelen involverede flere hold: Patriots sendte pick nr. 31 til Bills, som herefter byttede det videre til Titans. For at erhverve sig dette pick måtte Titans afgive tre senere valg i draften: nr. 35, nr. 66 og nr. 101. Til gengæld fik holdet pick nr. 69 og nr. 165 tilbage.
Faulk, der kommer fra Auburn University, forventes at få rig mulighed for at demonstrere sit potentiale i NFL. Med Jeffery Simmons som en etableret defensive tackle i Titans' forsvar, vil Faulk sandsynligvis få mange one-on-one-muligheder, hvilket kan accelerere hans udvikling.
Titans' beslutning om at handle sig ind i første runde og prioritere en defensiv spiller viser holdets fokus på at styrke forsvaret. Faulk ventes at bidrage med hastighed og pres på quarterbacken, hvilket kan være afgørende i kommende kampe.
