Titans Should Go After Underrated WR

The Tennessee Titans hunt for a wide receiver - now widely publicized and theorized to death - took an unfortunate turn at the start of this week when primary target Alec Pierce was reported as a surefire keeper for his current team, the Indianapolis Colts.

With Pierce off the board, Tennessee will be forced to pivot to a backup plan in some measure. And while New York Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson still stands out as perhaps their most plausible option in that respect, another free agent receiver has flown under the radar and certainly resides within the realm of possibility for the Titans.

Enter: Jalen Nailor. The Minnesota Vikings receiver (26) was one of many in that unit this past year to suffer as the franchise spun wheels trying to answer the quarterback question, as many do. Not to mention that Nailor, like everyone else, is well behind Justin Jefferson in that team's pecking order.

Things Could Be Different in Tennessee

In Tennessee, though, things could be different from a number of angles. Not only do the Titans have the QB conundrum answered in the form of the steadily rising Cam Ward, but the team needs a receiver to step into the limelight and take one of, if not the top spot.

Not to mention that, with as many needs as the team has to fill, the more cost effective the option Tennessee ultimately lands on, the better. Nailor, given the right circumstance and an appropriate contract, has the tools to fit the Titans in both facets.
