The Tennessee Titans traded back from the 33rd pick and still found a way to end up with Oklahoma wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham as their second-round pick at number 40 overall.
The pick certainly comes with risk, as Green-Beckham has substantial off-field issues. He sat out the entire 2014 season after running into trouble with marijuana and violence and getting kicked out of Missouri's football program.
On the field, Green-Beckham has been compared to Calvin Johnson. Off the field, he's likened to Kenny Britt. The Titans will hope they're getting the former.
Green-Beckham will join a revamped Titans offense that added Marcus Mariota in the first round. He will likely line up wide opposite Justin Hunter, allowing Kendall Wright to man the slot.
Green-Beckham certainly seems excited about what his future holds:

Strengths
- A mismatch for smaller cornerbacks, the 6-foot-5 receiver is outstanding in the red zone.
- Overpowers smaller corners on the line with an array of stiff arms and jab steps.
- If he gains a step on a defender off a slant route, he can overpower linebackers and safeties in space for extra yardage. (May not completely translate at the NFL level, though.)
- Sports an incredible catch radius and can consistently make plays on underthrown/overthrown passes.
Weaknesses
- Off-field immaturity. After being dismissed from Missouri for allegedly pushing a woman down the stairs, some have wondered whether he'll be able to stay out of trouble in the NFL. Was also suspended for marijuana use twice.
- Relies on all-world talent far too often and seldom runs routes correctly.
- May have some rust after missing the entire 2014 campaign.
