3. Tennessee Titans (via CHI)

35. The Tennessee Titans know they have something special building on offense with Marcus Mariota and that running game. The next order on the agenda if improving their defense. To date they have some nice pieces in place but few true studs. Somebody who can demand the attention of opponents on Sunday. Somebody who knows how to make the big play in the big moment. A winner and a top tier talent that can change situations. <p>Few know this better than Jonathan Allen. He’s enjoyed success at Alabama that few have dreamed of. Already a national champion, he has a chance to get another before turning pro. Much of that success is his own doing. He’s their best defensive lineman, a mix of power, quickness and violence. He can be moved inside or outside, stops the run and consistently shows he can get to the quarterback. Jacksonville needs a tone-setter like him.</p>. DE. Alabama. Jonathan Allen . 3. player
