Tennessee Titans’ 5 Biggest Draft Needs Heading Into 2016 Combine

By Taylor Sturm

The Tennessee Titans head into the 2016 NFL Draft with the No. 1 overall pick, but they will need much more than one potential superstar to make it to the playoffs. Marcus Mariota has looked absolutely fantastic so far, so it comes as no surprise that most of the Titans’ draft needs all surround helping him win games. Here are the five positions the Titans need to address most in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Tennessee Titans’ 5 Biggest Draft Needs Heading Into 2016 Combine

Cornerback — Where Tennessee's defensive line looked solid last season, the secondary looked inept. The guys they have now cannot get it done, and the Titans need to find a diamond in the rough in the later rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Wide Receiver — The Titans desperately need "the guy" at wide receiver so that Marcus Mariota will have a solid target other than Delanie Walker. With several great collegiate receivers likely available in the fourth round or later, Tennessee must strike it big.

Safety — With Michael Griffin gone, the Titans have an even bigger hole in the secondary than before. If Tennessee cannot get a safety in free agency, they must address it in the draft.

Running Back — Although the Titans should not spend an early pick on a running back unless the perfect opportunity arises, Tennessee is in desperate need of an above average RB.

Offensive Lineman — The Titans have not been able to protect the quarterback since before Jake Locker took the reins. This need must be addressed in the draft, or Marcus Mariota could end up being injured.
