Titans pick Michigan State OT Jack Conklin in first round

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans had a dire need for a right tackle after last year’s third-rounder, Jeremiah Poutasi, was judged a guard by the new regime. Byron Bell was re-signed, but they need him to be a swing tackle or a guard. The team yielded a league-high 54 sacks last season and quarterback Marcus Mariota missed four games and needed a month to rest and heal when his rookie season ended.

Enter Jack Conklin, selected eighth after a trade up with the Cleveland Browns.
