Cornerback, edge, and wide receiver must be addressed at some point, and will likely look to the draft to add some reinforcements.
In his post-Senior Bowl mock draft for CBS Sports, analyst Ryan Wilson has the Titans adding a defensive force with their first-round pick.
4. Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE
Bain Jr. is an explosive, violent edge rusher with rare power and bend, capable of turning the corner from wide alignments and overwhelming tackles with speed-to-power. He wins with a deep arsenal of pass-rush moves — from bull rushes to inside counters — and plays with exceptional contact balance and hand usage to shed blocks both as a rusher and run defender. Relentlessly disruptive and highly explosive off the snap, Bain consistently collapses pockets, sets a firm edge, and makes impact plays from whistle to whistle.
Bain would be a solid pick for the Titans and would fit as an edge player in Saleh’s defense. Bain proved to be a force during the College Football Playoffs and could immediately slide in next to Jeffery Simmons and T’Vondre Sweat and give Tennessee one of the top defensive lines in the league.
Tennessee could go different ways with this selection, but selecting Bain would be a great start to another successful draft.
