Post-Draft Outlook:COULD SURPRISE: RB Javon Ringer was chosen in the fifth round (No. 173 overall). It is a bit surprising in a draft without a lot of star running backs that a workhorse like Ringer would last until the bottom of the fifth round. If he comes close to his Michigan State production, he will no doubt make things uncomfortable for Chris Henry and possibly LenDale White. A closer look at the Titans' picks: Round 5/173 -- Javon Ringer, RB, 5-9, 205, Michigan State...It was surprising to find Ringer on the board this late, and the Titans pounced, even though running back is not a need area immediately. Ringer will at least challenge for the No. 3 spot, and perhaps No. 2 behind Chris Johnson. - by The Sports Xchange
