Defensive line (3): Jurrell Casey, DaQuan Jones, Isaiah Mack

The Tennessee Titans desperately need to try to find someone to help bolster this group, at least until Jeffery Simmons is healthy.

Jurrell Casey looked good vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, but with Big Ben and Co. going quick pass constantly, it was hard to get a good look. Obviously he is the star of the DL at this point.

I will be the first to admit that I was too low on Jones based of what we have seen from him this preseason. He has a strong anchor and his effort sticks out on a line of DL supposedly fighting for their future. I have been very impressed.

Speaking of being impressed, Mack has looked as powerful as anyone on the Titans offensive or defensive line. His natural leverage and pop make him a nightmare for offensive linemen to block and he has shown up in pass rush as frequently as he has shown up vs the run.

Those are the three that deserve to be on the roster. Brent Urban has had a good offseason in camp, but hasn’t shown up in the preseason. Austin Johnson and Matt Dickerson have gotten positive reviews from Titans HC Mike Vrabel but I haven’t seen either consistently dominate lower levels of competition outside of Dickerson making a key stop vs the Patriots.
