Titans To Pick Sixth
Staff Report January 3, 2005

The Tennessee Titans will pick sixth in the April 23-24 NFL Draft, the NFL announced Monday.

Tennessee will be the third 5-11 team to pick in the first round because of the strength of schedule tiebreaker. Teams with the same record are judged by their opponent's won/loss record. The higher the opponent winning percentage, the lower the draft pick.

Tennessee's opponents finished 131-125, behind only Oakland.

It is the highest the franchise has picked since it moved to Tennessee.

San Francisco, with a 2-14 record, will hold the first overall pick in April's draft.
