3. OLB Eli Harold (Detroit Lions)

It’s safe to say that the Tennessee Titans, head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Dean Pees have a promising young pass rusher in Harold Landry. A year ago, the second-round pick from Boston College played in all but one game and made three starts. He finished with 40 stops, 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble to go along with a pair of passes defensed. With 10-year veteran Brian Orakpo opting for retirement and potential unrestricted free agent and nine-year defender Derrick Morgan coming off a disappointing year, the Titans may need all the pass rushing help they can get.

So along with the aforementioned suggestion of Denver Broncos’ defender Shaquil Barrett, why not take a flyer on outside linebacker Eli Harold? The University of Virginia product was originally a third-round round selection of the San Francisco 49ers in 2015. But he would be dealt to the Detroit Lions in ’18 and managed four sacks in 13 outings without making a start for Matt Patricia’s club.

The four-year pro has been a bit of a disappointment to date. But a third team in three years could be a charm for the talented former Cavalier.

Next: No. 2
