Titans trade up again, snatch pass rusher Harold Landry
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Harold Landry isn’t likely to be Jevon Kearse.
Kearse, the dynamic pass rusher who did a great deal to transform a perennial 8-8 franchise into a Super Bowl team in 1999 fell into the Titans lap at No. 16 that year.

In a similar and unexpected fashion, Landry lasted until the 41st pick of the draft. He was too good for the Titans to resist at that point, and the dealt No. 57 in the second and No. 89 in the third to the Raiders.
A young edge rusher was the team’s top need given that Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan are both heading into the final year of their contracts and the team has no viable third option right now given Kevin Dodd’s failure to develop through his first two seasons.
