The Tennessee Titans made a peculiar choice by taking East Carolina RB Chris Johnson with the 24th overall pick. The team signed former Dallas RB Julius Jones as a free agent in the offseason and then chose the undersized (5′11, 197) Johnson.Johnson was not even on most mock draft boards in the first round, and was fifth back off the board. The crowd at RCMH did not appear to be appreciative of the selection once it was announced.
