NFL Draft Team Needs: Tennessee Titans
1. Cornerback: Tennessee pretty much addressed every major need they had in free agency, with the exception of Cornerback. The CB situation in Tennessee isn't too bad, but it certainly isn't their strength. Verner will also be a free agent next season, so they may need a potential replacement for him. Cornerback could be addressed as high as their first round selection...

Assessing the free agent guard class from a Titans perspective
Since I wrote about the Titans' depth chart holes, that also means I can look at positions where the Titans may be looking for a player in free agency. I've already covered the tight ends, but another position where I strongly believe they'll be looking for a veteran (or maybe more than one) in free agency is offensive guard.
If it feels like I've done one of...
