With their second pick in the first round, the Tennessee Titans will likely go defense, and they should focus on their secondary. Starter Jason McCourty has been plagued by injuries this season, though he is a very solid player when he is healthy. Adding someone alongside of him is going to be very important for the team next April, and this draft is loaded with talent at that position.
One player who is certain to go in the first round is Washington cornerback Sidney Jones, who grades out very well at the next level. Jones has been the leader of the Huskies defense, as the Pac-12 school rolled through their schedule and into the College Football Playoff. Tennessee is very close to being a contender in the AFC, and adding some quality depth to their secondary is very important, especially in their division.
The Titans are very young, and this season has had its share of growing pains. However, if there is any team in the AFC South that is trending upward it is them, and trading away the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft may have been the best thing they could have done. This draft has a ton of talent, and the Titans will be a lot better once the draft ends next April.
