EDGE. Mississippi State Bulldogs. Montez Sweat. 16. player. 35.

The Tennessee Titans organization has done a good job drafting offensive players the last few drafts. Starting with offensive tackle Taylor Lewan they have slowly picked up impactful pieces on the offensive side of the ball, and still have a shot at getting a wild card berth.

Mike Vrabel hasn’t exceeded the expectations for the Titans fan base, but it is clear he is one of the few Bill Belichek protegés that knows what he is doing to build his team’s identity.

Reinforcing the defensive line is a major priority this offseason, with divisional opponent’s Deshaun Watson continuing to grow and Andrew Luck player better than he was pre-injuries.

Sweat has been a sack machine this year, racking up 14 sacks after posting 15.5 as a junior last season. The Titans defense is currently second in the league with 39 sacks, so adding the dynamic edge rusher would make that defense even more formidable.
