This is another position where we dont know a single rating but we do know that it will a low rated group and the weakest of the defense. The titans run a 3-4 but of course will need 4 quality starters when it goes to a nickle. This is a position where a free agent could be signed to add depth.
The headliner of the group is Jurrell Casey and prob the only player with a rating in the 80's of the unit . He will likely play outside in the base defense and slide inside in nickle and dime formations. Last year Casey has 68 tackles and 5 sacks and has 21 in 5 years. Sammie lee hill will play the nose guard spot at 6'4 328'pounds. The other expected started at DE is 2014 4th round pick Daquan Jones who had basically no production last year. Another vet that will be in the mix is Karl Krug who has 14.5 career sacks.Angelo Blackston will be a rookie after being a 4th round pick from auburn who stands at 6'4 318 pounds and will see some playing time.
Two more udfa who will fight for roster spots are two former Georgia Bulldogs Derrick Lott and Toby Johnson. 30 year old Ropati Pitoitua defenitly has the size at 6'8 295 pounds. Mike Martin is undersized and a former 3rd round pick. Al Woods a former LSU tiger played in 16 games last year and will likely backup Sammie lee hill.
If the fails to get to the QB and generate a pass rush one of the OLB like Derrick Morgan could be moved to DE on 3rd down.
Future
Jurrell Casey is only 25 years old so he should be around for a while as well as the 22 year old rookie Blackson. The age of the other players isn't the question it's the talent. The one player that could make building a championship caliber DL much easier is Daquan Jones it's his 2nd year and he must produce or he will be replaced in the offseason. Some more talent is needing but it likely come from mid rounds and free agency.
The star - Jurrell Casey
The unknown - Daquan Jones
Start packing your bags - Mike Martin
Offseason priority - mild
