Can Davis build off his strong 2019 finish?
Davis’ career got off to a rocky start. Not only did an injury force him to miss most of training camp and then the first three games of his rookie season, his play left a lot to be desired upon his return.
According to Pro Football Focus, Davis’ overall grade through Week 14 was an abysmal 30.1, but from Week 15 through the playoffs the third-round pick saw a major improvement with a grade of 71.5.
If Davis can build off that latter grade and put together a full 16-game slate of solid play, the Titans will officially have their right guard of the future and one less question mark along the offensive front.

Can Kelly adequately replace Jack Conklin?
There’s no guarantee that Kelly will even start, as the Titans are set to have a competition at right tackle between he and rookie Isaiah Wilson; however, as we’ve said numerous times before, the edge definitely goes to Kelly based on experience, thus we have him pegged as the starter here.
After answering the question of if he’ll be the starter, Kelly will then have to answer the question about if he can come close to or match what Conklin was able to do last season, which won’t be easy.
Fortunately for Tennessee, there is reason for optimism here, as Kelly performed well as the starting right tackle in 2018 when Conklin went down to injury.
And what makes Conklin’s shoes easier to fill is the fact that he wasn’t great in pass protection, so it’s possible Kelly gives the Titans a boost in that area.
