Wide Receiver - Vince
Young needs somebody to throw
to. Drew Bennett doesn't cut it
as a #1 guy,
and although Brandon Jones,
Bobby Wade, and Courtney Roby
make up a young core of
receivers while this current
group is young and features some
talent a number one receiver is
needed
Offensive Line -
Tennessee needs to protect Young
by replacing one or both of
their starters at offensive
tackle. and one or both
offensive guards.
Then there
is the case of center Kevin
Mawae, who is going to turn
thirty-six shortly. The Titans
will need to start thinking
about possible replacement for
Mawae, who has also had a
significant injury in the recent
past.
Defensive Line -
Head-case Albert Haynesworth
probably doesn't figure into the
team's long-term plans. Even
with him, the D-line is awfully
shaky and a pass-rusher to
complement Kyle Vanden Bosch
would be a nice addition.
There is
depth on the in the trenches,
but the quality of talent can be
improved upon.
Middle Linebacker - Peter
Sirmon is average-at-best.
Putting a good player between
Bullock and Thornton would
really shore up this defense,
but filling every hole on
defense is not going to be
possible so this is probably not
the year to make a change in the
middle.
Defensive Backs - Chris
Hope has established himself at
safety, but it's unclear who
he'll be paired with in 2007. As
for Cornerback, it looked like
Pacman Jones was coming around,
but can he be counted on now?
Tennessee Titans Free Agency
Notes:
Cornerback already was high
on the list before Adam ''Pacman''
Jones' recent involvement in a
Las Vegas triple shooting. Now
the Titans may have to overspend
to grab a top cornerback in case
Jones isn't available or they
finally lose patience and
release or trade him. A
defensive end to ease pressure
on Kyle Vanden Bosch would help,
and they need to re-sign Smith.
Receiver is the other top focus.
Bennett is ready to see how much
money a once undrafted free
agent can earn, and David
Givens, a free agent signee last
March, is recovering from a
serious knee injury.
