What to do on Saturday for Tennessee Titans fans?

I really don’t want to start writing about the draft this early, but there are some Tennessee Titans fans who aren’t college football fans.

This is only important because the with CFB in full swing now, and players will start to separate themselves. Instead of sitting on your hands, gardening, working in the shop, or whatever you do in your spare time you can take advantage of these few months of college football.

If you didn’t know, I love watching college football through the lens of the draft because you can focus on a specific player in a way that you can’t when you are watching cut ups.

Some of you may just want to wait until after the season to figure out which prospects you like and don’t like, and that is completely fine.

However, if you want to watch some exciting matchups between (usually) good CFB teams, or players putting together a highlight reel in live time then this is the list for you.

I am going to try to narrow the list down to five players at key positions that the Titans would be looking at. Right now, that list in order of need is:

-EDGE

-DL

-WR

The Titans will have to face the options of re-signing Brian Orkapo and/or Derrick Morgan this offseason and I think the cheaper option is clearly to draft someone early.

At defensive line, they really lack a DL who can pass rush outside of Jurrell Casey who is going to have to be on the field all the time again this year.

WR is interesting because ideally you want the Titans to look for a speed guy who can stretch the field, but if you squint Tennessee has that guy in Taylor and a possession/big play guy in Corey Davis if everything turns out right this year. So honestly its just a BPA thing at this point.
