Follow the action with our NFL Draft Tracker, which includes all seven rounds, scouting profiles, trades and rumors.

The Tennessee Titans selected running back David Cobb out of Minnesota in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Cobb enjoyed a strong final season at Minnesota, and now makes both Shonn Greene and Antonio Andrews expendable in Tennessee.

He is a strong runner between the tackles and fits a power-running scheme.

Combine Results

Strengths

• An efficient, downhill chain-mover with a low center of gravity. Churns out yards.
• Breaks tackles. A significant percentage of his total yardage at Minnesota came after first contact. 
• Fits both zone and power-running schemes.

Weaknesses

• Lacks speed. 40-yard dash time at scouting combine was poor. 
• Struggles running the ball outside the tackles. 
• Must improve as a pass protector. Despite his size, he graded out as one of the worst pass blockers in his draft class. [Pro Football Focus]
