The Tennessee Titans have made some key additions to their roster over the first week-plus of free agency, but there are still big needs left to address in the second wave.
As a result, experts who are compiling power rankings after the first wave of free agency aren’t impressed, which has led to some bad rankings.
Tied for the worst of the bunch is the ranking the Titans received from Dan Hanzus of NFL.com, who has Tennessee at No. 28 on his list, six spots lower than where they were for his last power rankings.
Here’s Hanzus’ write-up:
The Titans began free agency by putting their focus on an offensive line in need of four new starters. Former Eagles swing tackle Andre Dillard was the first big move, signed to a rich deal to serve as the likely successor to Taylor Lewan on the left side in Tennessee. Daniel Brunskill, previously of the 49ers, could land one of the starting guard positions. New general manager Ran Carthon also overhauled the middle of his defense with moves for former Jaguars outside linebacker Arden Key and ex-Niners ‘backer Azeez Al-Shaair. The big question that looms in Nashville: Does a new season begin with both Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill on the roster? For now, signs point to yes.
I know the Titans have a lot of questions to answer, but that ranking feels a bit too harsh. Now, the rest of the round-up.
