This should be a defensive pick all the way for the Titans; they were bottom-10 in the league against both the run and the pass and gave up nearly 30 points a game last year. There are nice value players left on the draft board on the defensive line. They could go with an edge rusher like Bjoern Werner, though they're already a top-10 defense in sacks. I don't think they have to use a high pick on the interior, though. With Jurrell Casey, free agent pickup Sammie Lee Hill, Mike Martin and others, there's a good amount of young talent there.
Where I'm seeing the culprit for Tennessee is their secondary. More stats for you: the Titans were 31st in the league in completion rate against, allowing a ridiculous 66.3%; they were bottom 10 in QB rating against and bottom 10 in completions allowed over 20 yards with 55. That's a team crying out for a playmaker in the secondary.
Dee Milliner broke up 20 passes for Alabama last season. 20! I almost don't need to know anything else about him to take him here. Oh, he's also 6'0" 200 and ran a 4.37 at the Combine? Again, almost don't need to know anything else about him to take him here. Confusing as it may be to see more and more experts calling Houston CB D.J. Hayden the #1 CB in the draft now, while Milliner stays a top-5, top-10 player the overall rankings, with no DBs anywhere near him, I'll stick with Milliner, slightly bigger, slightly faster and with proven productivity at a higher level of competition.
The Chargers are on the clock!
