#11 Tennessee Titans: Darqueze Dennard, CB MichSt
Rory’s Take: In this situation the Titans have seen four quarterbacks go early and now they must address a need. They are losing both of their starting cornerbacks unless they franchise tag Verner. Since their defense is still fairly solid, adding the top corner in this draft would help solidify the defense.
Chase’s Take: If Verner does indeed leave for free agency in March than the Titans will be one of the most likely teams inside of the Top 15 to select a corner. Dennard and Justin Gilbert will be the two corners most likely to be the first taken in the draft, but we like Dennard just a bit more thanks to his physicality.
