Titans try to help Young: Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt says Tennessee wants to continue adding playmakers to help QB Vince Young. Tennessee already has signed TE Alge Crumpler, given WR Justin Gage a new deal and brought back WR Justin McCareins for a second stint. Coach Jeff Fisher fired Norm Chow and lured Mike Heimerdinger back as his offensive coordinator. Now do the Titans start off by drafting a receiver? This franchise has drafted only two receivers in the first round in its 48 previous years and none since Kevin Dyson in 1998. But the Titans could use a speedy receiver to stretch the field, giving Young more room to operate. (Updated 04/21/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The Titans have tried finding receivers through quantity, taking seven in the past three drafts with none selected before the third round. They have size in the 6-foot-4 Gage, who had 55 catches for 750 yards. Mike Williams, at 6-5 and the 10th pick overall in 2005, is on the roster as a reclamation project. Roydell Williams blossomed late and had 55 catches before breaking his ankle in practice before the playoff game. Brandon Jones had 21 catches before being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury in his third season, and Paul Williams, a third-round pick last year, never got on the field. Only five NFL teams threw for fewer yards than the Titans, who had 2,878 yards passing. No one was worse than Tennessee inside opponents' 20, scoring touchdowns only 36.4 percent of the time with 20 TDs on 55 such chances. They went 10 games without a TD pass, and their nine touchdown passes were the fewest by a playoff team in a 16-game season. As you can see, Young needs help. Hopefully it will come in the draft.
