Titans' draft-day hits, misses from Houston to Music City
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: Offensive lineman Bruce Matthews in 1983.

But the No. 9 pick overall out of Southern Cal wound up one of the NFL's iron men, playing 296 games over 19 seasons and sticking around long enough to play five seasons with the team in Tennessee after its 1997 move. That's more than enough to give him the edge over another Hall of Famer, RB Earl Campbell No. 1 in 1978.
