RTC: Is Tommy Smith picking up where Bud Adams left off?

Reading the coverage of the Tennessee Titans ...

Tommy Smith’s work as head of the Titans' ownership group is the same as that of his late father-in-law, Bud Adams, says David Climer of The Tennessean.

To which I say: I think Smith hates this perception -- meet the new boss, same as the old boss -- and wants desperately to be very different than Adams. The way he’s moving the organization away from Bud’s beloved light blue is symbolic of this. That the perception Climer writes from can even exist should show Smith he’s failing so far in a mission to take the organization in a different direction.

The Titans traded back in the second round in 2005 before they took left tackle Michael Roos. The extra pick they got became the guy who played right tackle for a long time, David Stewart. Mike Keith of the Titans talks about Roos’ retirement with GM Ruston Webster.

USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams is the Titans' pickInsider in Todd McShay’s third mock draft.
