Jamal Adams. 9. player. 35. . S. LSU

With their second top 10 selection, the Titans can keep adding to their defense. Even though the Titans could also use some help offensively, the only way they’re going to start making some noise in the AFC South is if they can start containing opposing quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and Blake Bortles.

The Titans could start doing that by taking Allen with their first pick and then the talented safety Jamal Adams with their second. The LSU defensive back isn’t the versatile athlete that Peppers is, but he is still one of the most talented players in this draft.

Adams is an instinctive safety that can match up well with just about any pass catcher on the field. He’s a strong tackler who isn’t afraid to make big hits. Bringing in both Allen and Adams would give the Titans defense a toughness that it hasn’t really possessed for quite some time.
