BTW, I've always wondered why they even picked Orakpo....was GEICO on a low budget and have it's main office in Washington DC?

Smith collected all of his stats in the first quarter of the Rams game.
Congrats, he's better than Justin King.Comment

Best Titans draft class in a long time...one of the early positives of Munchak's term.
Akeem Ayers was extremely solid at OLB, Jurrell Casey was our best defensive lineman all season, Colin McCarthy made more plays in limited starts than our old MLB Stephen Tulloch did during his entire time in Tennessee and Karl Klug was an awesome situational pass-rusher at DT.
Jake Locker looked really promising in limited time, Tommie Campbell scored a touchdown, was a solid gunner (besides the Colts game) is an absolute freak of an athlete and could help out at CB or S in the future, while the jury is still out on Jamie Harper, Byron Stingly and Zach Clayton.

This was Orakpo's third season, so he doesn't count. Kerrigan had an excellent season, so it was nice to see him make the list. The thing I like most about him is that he always seems to be around the quarterback and never gives up- he goes just as hard the first play as he does the last.
Also, I think Roy Helu should be mentioned at running back. Some of the games, especially early when Hightower was still playing, he barely got any touches. I think you can count 11-12 games where he was really involved in the game plan from the stats. He finished just shy of 1,000 total yards, had three touchdowns and finished with a 4.2 carry average. By itself, those are solid numbers, but also factor in who his quarterbacks were- Grossman and Beck- and then the offensive line was in shambles due to injury.
And tight-ends were garbage this year, there aren't any better choices as those two mentioned earlier were the highest draft picks. No tight-end was drafted in the first either. Just a bad year for them.Comment
