2017 NFL Draft: 5 Needs the Tennessee Titans Must Address

In Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo, the Titans have a duo of veteran edge rushers who have proven to have the ability to consistently make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. Throw in a healthy Kevin Dodd, a second round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, and you have a trio of outside linebackers that many teams in the NFL would covet.

There is, however, a missing element in the Titans’ group of edge rushers. All three of the aforementioned players—Orakpo, Morgan, and Dodd—are prototypical “power rushers.” They all have the ability to forcefully set the edge in the run game and to use their lower body strength to bully offensive tackles.
