What is Titans biggest remaining need after first wave of free agency?

[ASFN Admin]

The first week of free agency is nearing an end, and the Tennessee Titans have made some strides in rebuilding their roster.

While there is still work to be done, there is no question that the team is better today than it was just last week. But what exactly is the Titans' biggest need heading into the coming weeks and the NFL draft? Joe Rexrode for The Athletic believes it is offensive weapons for Cam Ward.

Offensive weaponry is the Titans’ biggest remaining need, though a difference-making edge and reliable starters at center and right guard also would help a lot. The Titans did add Wan’Dale Robinson, and he’ll be a high-volume contributor in Brian Daboll’s offense, as he was with the Giants. But the rest of the receiving corps is either aging (Calvin Ridley) or young and perhaps a bit too high on the depth chart (Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor). At running back, Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are solid but not dynamic. It would not shock if the Titans were to take Jeremiyah Love at No. 4, then a receiver at No. 35. — Joe Rexrode

Rexrode is right, Tennessee must add some more playmakers to the offense, but those additions mean little if the offensive line can’t protect Ward. The Titans have a significant hole along the interior of their offensive line, with right guard Kevin Zeitler a free agent, and general manager Mike Borgonzi deciding to part ways with center Lloyd Cushenberry.

Tennessee did add a couple of offensive linemen, Cordell Volson and Austin Schlottmann, on one-year contracts, but neither appears to be a long-term solution, and there are many questions about the unit's makeup heading into the rest of the offseason. So while playmakers are important, fortifying the offensive line would appear to be a greater need than at wide receiver, running back, or even edge.
