The Titans went into this draft with no immediate need on the offensive line. Nine-year veteran Michael Roos has a year left on his contract and has started all but one game since 2006 at left tackle for the Titans,Dallas Cowboys Jersey White. Tennessee signed Michael Oher in March as their new right tackle with a four-year deal for $20 million but could get out of that deal after a year costing only $6 million.
Tennessee had its choice of quarterbacks to replace often-injured Jake Locker with only Blake Bortles unavailable and no trade offers that fit. So the Titans chose to bolster protection for the quarterback. Webster said Lewan was the top-rated player on their draft board and someone they saw among the top three left tackles available this year.
