Titans select North Carolina LB Zach Brown in NFL draft

Posted Apr 27, 2012
The Tennessee Titans need plenty of help on defense, and they started filling some of their needs by selecting speedy North Carolina linebacker Zach Brown. The Titans started the second round Friday night trying to improve a pass rush that ranked next to last in the NFL last season with only 28 sacks. "We got a guy we think is versatile, that can play the weakside backer," coach Mike Munchak said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
