4. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans made it all the way to the Divisional Round last season, and they will be looking to take the next step in 2018. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has established himself as one of the best young signal-callers in the NFL, and he is only going to get better. This Titans team is one on the rise, and if they can have a solid offseason, they should be right back in the mix for a playoff spot next season.

One area that has been a strength for them over the last three seasons has been the tight end position. Delanie Walker has made three straight Pro Bowls, and has served as a solid security blanket for Mariota in his development. He is locked up for next season, and adding Graham along with him in the passing game could make the Titans elite.

The Patriots dominated with two tight ends when they had Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and the Titans could do the same with Walker and Graham. In addition, the Titans have a nice two-back tandem in DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, so this offense could be very hard to stop in 2018. Walker is tremendous in the vertical game, and if the Titans get in the red zone, imagine them having both Walker and Graham as options.
