3. Tennessee Titans (via LA)

3. player. 51. <p>There is a lot to like about the progress the Tennessee Titans have made over the past couple years. Some solid additions were made to their roster this off-season and they have promising quarterback Marcus Mariota back healthy.</p> <p>A retooled offensive line and two behemoth running backs ready to grind opponents into the ground. The big question mark is the defense. There is no question they have some solid pieces, headlined by Jurrell Casey. The one thing they don’t have at present is a blue chip pass rusher to bring everything together.</p> <p>Brian Orakpo and Daniel Morgan are solid, but unremarkable outside linebackers. They don’t scare opposing tackles. Not like a Von Miller or Justin Houston would. That is the kind of player Tim Williams can be.</p> <p>One of the reasons Alabama became so hard to beat down the stretch in 2015 was due to his emergence. He finished with 10 sacks on the season and showcased his awesome mix of speed and explosion. Over one third of his pass rush snaps ended with at least a pressure. That is how consistently disruptive he is.</p>. OLB. Alabama. Tim Williams
