Titans' Defense Strengthens with Key Free Agency Moves

0:00On March 24, Tennessee Titans fans often point to edge rusher as the team's biggest roster gap heading into the NFL draft, but with new defensive coordinator Robert Saleh calling the plays, that position looks stronger than it seems. The Titans spend big and free agency to build a solid foundation across the defense, easing the pressure on their edge group. Key moves included overhauling the cornerback room with Alan Taitler and Cordell Flot on the outside. They also added depth at defensive tackle, linebacker, and safety with players like Solomon Thomas, Jordan Elliott, Tony Adams, and Mohamu Diavate. Who should see real snaps? The standout additions were Jermaine Johnson and John Franklin Myers, who fit perfectly into Saleh's aggressive scheme. Better coverage in the secondary means the front doesn't have to win every snap right away. Taitler's versatility, he can cover anywhere or blitz, takes some load off the edges. He's my still clamor for a top edge prospect, especially with the fourth overall pick available.

This all season hall gives the Titans flexibility, whether they grab an edge rusher early or pivot elsewhere, confident their defense can compete right, out of the gate.
