Joe Thuney: Tennessee Titans

(Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports)

Despite the Titans’ offensive turnaround from the second half of the 2019 regular season through the playoffs, the team’s guard situation was … well, fraught. Left guard Rodger Saffold allowed six sacks and 24 pressures last season, right guard Nate Davis was good for eight sacks and 27 pressures, and swingman Jamil Douglas gave up three sacks and 16 pressures. Not ideal. Thuney, on the other hand, has given up just one sack and 43 total pressures over the past two seasons for the Patriots, and he’s never allowed a postseason sack. Thuney would probably have to move from left to right guard, as Saffold is the incumbent on the left side. But in any event, grabbing a tough, smart, reliable player such as Thuney would be a real jolt for this offense — both in the rushing attack and in the passing game.
