Round 5

Pick No. 174: Ke’Shawn Vaughn | RB | Vanderbilt

When describing what he’s looking for in a backup running back, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he wants a guy who can play all three downs, contribute to the return game and protect the passer.

While Vaughn doesn’t exactly check all those boxes, he is a back with good vision who can also contribute in the passing game and can take the role left by the departure of Dion Lewis. He’ll need some work in pass protection, but there’s no reason to believe he can’t be solid there.
