Redrafting the 2013 NFL Draft for the Tennessee Titans

Rounds 6 and 7

There’s not much to be said about rounds 6 and 7 of the 2013 NFL Draft where the Tennessee Titans had the 202nd and 248th picks.

Original picks – Khalid Wooten DB Nevada and Daimion Stafford DB Nebraska

The Tennessee Titans seemed to be adding special teams pieces here in rounds 6 and 7 of the 2013 NFL Draft. Khalid Wooten played a whopping 3 games in the NFL. I don’t know much about him, but I’m assuming he wasn’t one for special teams.

On the other hand, Daimion Stafford played upwards of 70 games in the NFL. That is something to respect about a 7th round pick. Stafford played 4 full seasons with the Titans and in 2016 he even had 52 tackles. In the same year he started 6 games. There is nothing I would change about this pick. Stafford seems to have been a solid special teamer and even a great depth addition.

Who they should have picked – Jordan Poyer DB Oregon St.

Yet another Bills DB that the Titans could have had in the draft. Poyer has made quite a career for himself after being selected 218th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. At worst, Poyer would be a great special teams player, which is what the Titans were drafting at the time anyways. At best, Poyer turns into a good safety, which he has been for the Buffalo Bills for three straight seasons.

After redrafting, the Titans would be 2013 draft class has already combined for 9 Pro Bowls in the NFL. It almost hurts to take a look back at drafts like these and wonder what the Tennessee Titans could have been, but that could be said for every other team. Hindsight is always 20/20 and predicting a player’s success in the NFL is one very tough thing to do. Although, if the Tennessee Titans were to have drafted this way, a Super Bowl win would have been very likely between 2013 and now.
