Titans Draft Rutgers Receiver Kenny Britt

*Titans Draft Central*NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans need help at wide receiver. They hope they got it by taking Kenny Britt of Rutgers with the 30th pick overall of the NFL Draft.

This is only the third time in the franchise's 50-year history to draft a wide receiver in the first round and the first since taking Kevin Dyson in 1998. The other receiver drafted was Haywood Jeffires in 1987, but he was the then-Houston Oilers' second pick in the first round.

The Titans signed Nate Washington away from Pittsburgh in March and tried to add veteran Torry Holt before he signed with AFC South rival Jacksonville on Monday. In picking the 6-foot-3 Britt Saturday, the Titans' got the Big East Conference's all-time leading receiver. Britt had 3,043 yards in just 34 games.
