Can rookie Femi Oladejo help revitalize the Titans' pass rush?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It's no secret that the Tennessee Titans' pass rush was one of the most glaring deficiencies on the team's defense last season.

Rather than go after a high-profile edge rusher in free agency this offseason, general manager Mike Borgonzi turned to the draft to try to revitalize a pass rush that was tied for the third-fewest sacks (32) in the NFL. Even then, Borgonzi waited to address the position. With the No. 1 pick, Tennessee took quarterback Cameron Ward before trading its second pick (No. 35) to the Seattle Seahawks for the 52nd (second round) and 82nd picks (third).
