Day 1 Takes: Titans hit bull's eye with Carnell Tate, Philly Special, & Mike Vrabel's word salad

Surprise! Tennessee went wide receiver at No. 4 overall, and it's the right call. Howie Roseman does it again. And what in the hell was that presser from Mike Vrabel?

Cameras panned into the Tennessee Titans draft room. Somewhere in the back, you could see Brian Daboll. The team’s new offensive coordinator wasn’t front and center as his team’s No. 4 overall selection neared. In that exact moment, you couldn’t help but wonder what curse words were cycling through his mind. Arizona had just selected running back Jeremiyah Love.

Surely, the rebuilding Titans would take a defensive player at No. 5.

Then, the name dropped.

Carnell Tate. Wide receiver. Ohio State.

Love this pick for a Titans team on the hunt for relevancy. And not only because an angel gets its wings every time mock drafts are burnt to smithereens.
