2021 NFL Team Draft Page

The Titans look like they're back on track after a dominating performance over the Colts in Week 12 to take the lead in the AFC South. The keys to the Titans victory? A healthy dose of Derrick Henry, which led to A.J. Brown having a good game again. If Brown puts up numbers, the Titans win. The Titans' pass defense, however, was still disappointing, as Phillip Rivers threw for 295 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT while only being sacked once. Fortunately for the Titans, the Colts were unable to get their running game going, making them one-dimensional. The Titans played well against the Colts, but the pass defense and pass rush are still very suspect and have to be addressed early in the upcoming draft.

The Titans have the Browns and Jaguars coming up, which are games they should win, despite the Browns' impressive record. The bad news is, every opposing QB puts up great numbers against them. A reason to be hopeful about the Titans defense improving is that they're getting healthier. Defensive players possibly returning this week are CB Adoree Jackson and DT Jeffrey Simmons. While they didn't participate in the Wednesday practice , there is some hope that at least Simmons will play, and hopefully Jackson as well.

The Titans need to pressure the QB more; that's clear. So let's talk about OLB Dylan Moses, a 6'4", 240-pounder with unbelievable athleticism from Alabama. Moses was so talented, he received scholarship offers in eighth grade from Alabama and LSU. He missed his Junior year with an ACL tear, and has been a little rusty in his return. Even with Moses' play being below expectations this year, he's too talented to ignore. He could provide a real spark to the Titans' defense and is a true three-down LB, being solid in coverage as well as being a talented pass rusher. With his athletic ability, the Titans could have a new "Freak" on the team come this April and they could certainly use one.
