Is picking Henry a sign Titans are too committed to 'exotic smashmouth'?

    The Tennessee Titans are going to run the ball, then run it some more.

    Head coach Mike Mularkey promised "exotic smashmouth" football earlier this offseason, and the Titans' draft strategy through two days proves he wasn't lying.

    After trading up to select mauling offensive tackle Jack Conklin in the first round, the Titans struck the Heisman pose and added Alabama running back Derrick Henry with the 45th overall pick (their third of a league-high three second-round selections).

    In Henry, the Titans get a physical specimen whose closest NFL comparison isn't a running back, but instead linebacker and reigning Super Bowl MVP Von Miller. Henry is both enormous in stature and enormously explosive. When he gets a head of steam, he's almost impossible to bring down.
