Tennessee Titans

Top Needs: WR, DT, DE, CB

The Tennessee Titans get the best of both worlds in 2017: they nearly made the playoffs this year, and they still get a chance at a top-five talent by trading down last year.

There’s not a ton the Titans have to do on offense, as they ranked 14th in Reception NEP per target for wide receivers. However, that unit earned the second-fewest total Reception NEP, and tight end Delanie Walker is aging fast; they need backup plans in case Kendall Wright leaves and Tajae Sharpe isn't more than a J.A.G.

Tennessee’s Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play was a laughably bad fifth-worst this year. The cornerbacks were atrocious -- looking at you, Perrish Cox -- and the pass rush got little push. Defensive end DaQuan Jones doesn’t seem to be the answer to bookend Jurrell Casey, and nose tackles Karl Klug and Al Woods have been cheesecloth against the run: porous.
