Under the assumption that the Titans carry five players at both inside linebacker and outside linebacker on their initial 53-man roster once again, here’s a look at a prediction for how things will shake out.

OLB1 Harold Landry
OLB2 Vic Beasley
OLB3 Kamalei Correa
OLB4 Derick Roberson
OLB5 D’Andre Walker
ILB1 Jayon Brown
ILB2 Rashaan Evans
ILB3 David Long
ILB4 Nick Dzubnar
ILB5 Cale Garrett

We’re giving the final spots at inside and outside linebacker to Garrett and Roberson, respectively. The upside both players bring will be enough to secure their place and justify giving them a longer look in 2020.

One thing that could shake this prediction up a bit (aside from a major signing like Jadeveon Clowney) would be if the Titans decide to carry a sixth outside linebacker or choose Gilbert over Roberson.

That will depend upon what Tennessee thinks of its outside linebackers’ ability to play the run without Gilbert and if the team is ready to waive the white flag on last August’s trade.
