NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans used to show off their scouts a bit around draft time.
They were part of the team’s pre-draft press conference, which wasn’t, to be honest, that helpful. No one wanted to say anything and more voices speaking in generalities could make things even more awkward in the days before selections were made.
But in press conferences after picks, hearing from the area scout who’d studied the player the Titans just picked could frequently be interesting. The less camera-shy guys might tell a good story or offer a bit of color that filled in a bit about why the team leaned the prospect's direction.
Now, the seven men most involved in assisting Jon Robinson in preparing for the draft are largely anonymous – though he recently spent some time helping make them less so.
