Defining the Tennessee Titans 3 biggest needs on defense

2. Cornerback

Like I said earlier, I just think the market for Logan Ryan is going to push him out of Tennessee and the Titans are going to be left with two really good cornerbacks instead of three.

Malcolm Butler and Adoree Jackson can both hang with any style of receiver, but in an ideal world the Titans use this opportunity to add some more speed to this group of defensive backs.

Adoree Jackson and Malcolm Butler are also primarily boundary cornerbacks and adding a slot cornerback would round out the group well while limiting the rookie/new guy’s snap count in a new defense.

Now, I will say that after the draft last year we all talked about how Amani Hooker had the athleticism and experience to play in the slot in 2020 if developed correctly. While we saw him used almost exclusively as a safety this season, maybe he will take a step forward and convince the Titans that he is their nickelback.

If not, then it is probably going to be a player in the draft that fixes this rather than a CB who hits the market because like some other positions, cornerbacks tend to get overpaid when they hit the market.

Potential players to watch: Damon Arnette (Ohio State), Jeff Gladney (TCU), Noah Igbinoghene (Auburn), Amik Robertson (Louisiana Tech), Troy Pride Jr. (Notre Dame).
