2. Tennessee Titans (via SF)

Jonathan Allen . 2. player. 35. Marcus Mariota is turning into everything the Tennessee Titans could’ve hoped for as a quarterback. There are still things to straighten out such as finding him another quality wide receiver but things are looking good on that side of the ball. What the Titans really need now is a similar identity on defense. A player who helps elevate the game of those around him. They haven’t had anybody like that for years, so they decide to go get him. <p>Jonathan Allen earns high praise from Nick Saban every time his name is brought up, and for good reason. The defensive end is the motor of that great Alabama defense. It doesn’t matter the situation or who’s across from him, Allen finds a way to impact the play. He has the size and power to stop the run but also the burst and quickness to get after the quarterback. There just really isn’t a time to not worry about him, otherwise he’ll ruin the afternoon for an opponent.</p>. DE. Alabama
