Groves is also a bit undersized for an NFL defensive end at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds and he probably would have been a better fit as a rush linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
Jacksonville is noticeably thin at wide receiver and unless they expect disappointing ex-Raider Jerry Porter to be a bonafide No. 1, David Garrard may not have many weapons going into next season.
Granted, defensive end was an area of need in Jacksonville, but the fact that they overpaid so grossly for Harvey and used all of their Day One picks on the position makes the Jags come out of the draft a loser.
Unlike the preceding teams, I have no real issue with who the Titans drafted or where they went, with the exception of Chris Johnson at No. 24
However, the fact that they didn't get Vince Young a receiver, despite the fact that Early Doucet was available in the second round, is why the Titans are here.
As I said before, taking Chris Johnson at No. 24 was a bad pick, mainly because the Titans have drafted three running backs in the past three years, not to mention that it was a huge reach.
If Johnson was their guy, the least Tennessee could have done is trade down into the early- to mid-second round, where Johnson would have surely been available.
The Titans did get Vince Young a good tight end to throw to in Craig Stevens, but as long as Roydell Williams is their No. 1 receiver, the team is going nowhere.
Honorable mentions
New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers: Both of these teams made reaches early in the draft (Cason at No. 27, Wheatley at No. 62, Hester at No. 69, O'Connell at No. 94) but A.J. Smith and Bill Belichick usually know what they're doing, so I'll give these teams the benefit of the doubt.
