Did the Tennessee Titans have the best offseason
By Will Lomas
The Tennessee Titans had a great offseason, but how good was it compared to everyone else?
I have a love/hate relationship with draft and offseason grades. On one hand, I am always looking for more confirmation that I am correct and that the Tennessee Titans did well. On the other hand, I find myself yelling at the screen more often than not.
However, Sports Illustrated is making it really hard to nitpick or find anything wrong with their recent grading of the Tennessee Titans offseason.

According to their grades, the Tennessee Titans had the best offseason in the AFC.
To be fair Jacksonville also got an “A-“, but they are the Jaguars…so they have to show not teal…see what I did there?
Puns aside, look at how they summarized the Tennessee Titans offseason:
“It’s obvious where [Jon] Robinson is trying to go with this, building a young nucleus of players to support his quarterback. Mariota is coming back from a broken fibula and entering his third season in the league now, the year most players typically take a leap in their development. If he doesn’t make the leap, he can’t say his GM didn’t help him.”
I am totally alright with how this is phrased.
Marcus Mariota has been given some truly special talent to work with. I believe that this group of young wide receivers and Delanie Walker may be the best pass catching unit in the NFL.
The players are in place now for the Tennessee Titans to take the next step. If the biggest question is “Can Marcus Mariota exceed mediocre expectations with a great supporting cast?” then we have come a LONG way from where we were two years ago.
If you don’t remember, just two years ago the Titans top four wide receivers were:
1. Kendall Wright (gone on small, prove-it deal)
2. Harry Douglas (who is now the WR4)
3. Justin Hunter (gone)
4. Dorial Green-Beckham (who Jon Robinson traded for one of the best back up OTs in the NFL)

Today the Tennessee Titans have:

3. Taywan Taylor
4. Tajae Sharpe/Harry Douglas
That is night and day different. So again, I can’t argue that the Tennessee Titans had anything but an “A” level offseason when two of their top three receivers were added this offseason.
