Titans' Off-Season Checklist

The Tennessee Titans lost on the last week of the season to the Indianapolis Colts, missing the playoffs as a result. They finished 9-7 on the season in a surprisingly deep AFC South division. What do they need to do to catch up?

• Find a Playmaker (partially done): Tennessee's offense was anemic, averaging only 19.4 points per game (27th in the NFL). A big part of that problem was the pass game, which averaged only 185.9 passing yards per game (29th in the NFL). The NFL Draft isn't deep on wide receivers this year, but one player who can stand out for Tennessee is D.K. Metcalf. Metcalf had an outstanding NFL Combine and can be an imposing threat for opposing defensive backs with his upside. The Titans did add Adam Humprhies, which will give Mariota an option.
  
• Upgrade the Offensive Line (done): Another major problem the Titans had last year was blocking. The Titans found Rodger Saffold to help open up holes for Derrick Henry and keep Marcus Mariota upright. The deal is actually pretty decent, giving Saffold four years and $44 million with $22.5 million guaranteed.
  
• Find Veteran Leaders (partially done): Adding Cameron Wake to the pass rush will help the Titans with veteran leadership. This is a fairly young Titans team and adding players who have been in the league for a while will help Tennessee grow and develop. If they can find one for the offensive side, they will develop even further.
