Quantifying what the Tennessee Titans have lost this offseason

Complete list of needs

Combining both lists, here are the positions losing the most snaps (minimum 500 snaps lost):

1. Cornerback (1,810 snaps lost)

2. Defensive line (1,484)

3. Tight end (1,440)

4. Wide receiver (1,230)

5. Safety (936)

6. Linebacker (779)

7. EDGE (540)

Now, taking that list and adding in the context that I mentioned in the previous slides, here is how I would rank those seven positions assuming everyone leaves in free agency.

1. Wide receiver (2 starters, 1 backup needed)

2. EDGE (1 starter, 1 backup needed)

3. Defensive line (1 starter, 1 backup needed)

4. Tight end (1 starter needed, 1 backup needed)

5. Cornerback (1 starter needed)

6. Linebacker (2 backups needed)

7. Safety (1 backup needed)

The situation at wide receiver is dire enough where I think they need to push as hard as they can to re-sign Corey Davis and even then they should consider someone in the top-100 picks of the NFL Draft.

Given how frequently EDGEs not named Harold Landry are rotated out, the Titans might be better off finding two guys with clear roles and adding them. A heavy-handed run stuffer and a flexible pass rusher to add into the rotation with Derick Roberson.

The defensive line and tight end needs are similar to me because I think both spots are losing a do-it-all starter who will be overvalued on the open market, but I think that they have proven in the past that they can find guys who fill their needs out of nowhere (Crawford, Swaim, Firkser, Isaiah Mack, etc.).

After that, it is just about strengthening depth and finding role players at cornerback, linebacker, and safety.
