4. Tennessee Titans (via CHI)

The Tennessee Titans have a promising young offense on their hands. The running game is dynamic with Demarco Murray and quarterback Marcus Mariota is coming into his own as a passer. With a few more additions that group will be hard to stop. Getting stops on defense is something else entirely for this team. They can’t do it consistently enough and it’s costing them wins. There really is no star power on this unit. That has to change if they want to seize control of the AFC South. <p>That is why they trade up for Jonathan Allen. He’s one of just a few blue chip players in this 2017 class. A mammoth defensive end from Alabama, he’s got the power befitting his frame. What sets him apart is his superb quickness and athleticism for a man his size. Throw in a non-stop motor and the Titans have themselves a defensive lineman whom opponents will have to game plan for every week because of his disruptive capabilities.</p>. DE. Alabama. Jonathan Allen . 4. player. 35
