6. Offensive Line

The Titans have used premium resources over the past two seasons along the offensive line, investing their last two first round picks in left tackle JC Latham and left guard Peter Skoronski. Center Lloyd Cushenberry was a big addition in free agency.

While the Titans have questions as to who starts on the right side of the offensive line, they do have several players that have meaningful NFL experience on the roster. At guard, last year's starter Daniel Brunskill returns and faces competition from free agent acquisition Saahdiq Charles and former second-rounder Dillon Radunz. Brunskill is also battling at backup center, where Corey Levin rejoined the roster earlier this week.

At tackle, Nicholas Petite-Frere is the favorite to start, but won't go unchallenged from trade acquisition Leroy Watson, veteran addition Geron Christian, and returning second year players John Ojukwu and Jaelyn Duncan.

Watson and Christian were with offensive line coach Bill Callahan in Cleveland last year and help to form a deeper group than prior years that also includes rookie UDFA Brian Dooley and veteran Andrew Rupcich. With the combo of Callahan's coaching prowess and improved roster depth, the Titans should see better line play even if/when injuries strike this group.

5. Cornerback

The Titans spent this offseason acquiring L'jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie at cornerback. The newcomers join ascending third year player Roger McCreary to form one of the better trios of corners in the league.

Rookie 5th round pick Jarvis Brownlee Jr. should make the initial 53 man roster and become a solid depth piece. Former first-round selection Caleb Farley is still around and is healthy after struggling with injuries in prior seasons. Rookie UDFA Gabe Jeudy-Lally was one of the standouts of minicamp and a name to keep an eye on to make the roster.

Tre Avery and Eric Garror return to the Titans having played notable defensive snaps last season, while Anthony Kendall was a special teams contributor for the team last year. Whoever the Titans end up keeping should be able to provide solid snaps and potential upside at the position.
