Biggest needs after week 1

After a bad game like this you kind of want to scream that the Titans need to be better everywhere.

Realistically, DB, TE, QB, and RB all looked fine. The OL could use an elite talent in the middle, but those are hard to come by even if you spend a premium on it. That leaves:

1. DL

2. EDGE

3. WR

4. LB

Next. Don't look back at Miami, look forward to Houston here. dark

The Titans desperately need someone to make a QB uncomfortable, but the reason I put DL on top is because I think Harold Landry is going to help that. Whereas on the DL, there is no shiny young guy who is going to come in and be a 6 sack guy for you who makes plays consistently.

Having said that, EDGE can’t hinge on one player’s health so there needs to be an upgrade made there.

Wide receiver is lower on the list because I am going to hold out hope on Taywan and Davis for a couple of weeks before I panic.

Linebacker is at the bottom because, while I felt like there was no one making plays the Titans are set to get their 1st round pick back soon in Rashaan Evans and he could make a difference if he is healthy.
