NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ran Carthon went all offense in his first draft as the Tennessee Titans general manager a year ago. His second time around features five of seven NFL draft picks on defense. Carthon says the draft board dictated the selections in a draft heavy on offense early with lots of defensive players available later. He says that's how it went for Tennessee. The biggest move came at No. 7 overall with JC Latham of Alabama getting a chance to fill a need at left tackle. Receiver Jha'Quan Jackson is the other offensive player. Carthon says he'll get a chance to help them with the NFL's new kickoff rules.
