player. 35. It’s hard not to like what the Tennessee Titans have done. Aside from having one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the league with Marcus Mariota, they’ve also done a crafty job of building the roster around him. Dorial Green-Beckham is an emerging force at wide receiver while 1st round pick Jack Conklin should bolster what has been a struggling offensive line. To say nothing of the potential two-headed monster at running back with DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. <p>Not to be outdone, the defense is also an underrated group. Jurrell Casey remains their primary star but he’s got help now with Brian Orakpo, Perrish Cox, and Rashad Johnson arriving over the past two years. Rookie 2nd rounders Austin Johnson and Kevin Dodd further bolster their defensive front. With Dick LeBeau writing the script, this is a defense that appears ready for a major step forward. Much of it though depends on new head coach Mike Mularkey.</p>. . . Tennessee Titans . 28
