5. Tennessee Titans (via LA)

DE. Alabama. Jonathan Allen . 5. player. 35. The Tennessee Titans were dealt a grievous blow when they lost Marcus Mariota for the year. That being said, he’ll be back healthy next season. The bigger mission for this team moving forward is finding ways to improve what has been an average defense most of 2016. Of course the secondary will get prime consideration but more than anything they need more studs. Bigger talents who give them some star power. <p>Experts will try to downplay Jonathan Allen as a “really good” player rather than an “elite” one. Tell that to the litany of offensive linemen he’s abused over the last two seasons. This is a big, strong and violent human being who doesn’t take plays off. He can hold the point of attack against the run and gives a consistent, relentless effort as a pass rusher. His quickness and agility is impressive for such a big man, giving him versatility to play inside or outside.</p>
