21. Tennessee Titans- Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
The Tennessee Titans have built one of the deeper rosters in the entire NFL. They have a good combination of depth and above-average talent. This makes them one of the early favorites to win the AFC South and make a playoff appearance.

Despite their depth, the Titans could use an upgrade in the pass-rushing department. Veterans Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan are solid players, but they have reached the height of their potential. The lack of progression from youngster Kevin Dodd is also a concern.
Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell is a raw and inexperienced player who appears ready to jump into the 1st round mix. He showed his potential in limited playing time last season and will get more opportunities this year.
General Manager Jon Robinson has proven himself to be a savvy and aggressive executive. He’s not afraid to trade up or down the draft. This means that we could see the Titans make an aggressive move to land a more established prospect.
LSU’s Arden Key is the top pass rusher at this stage in the process, but is already off the board. It wouldn’t be crazy to think Robinson would jump at the chance to get someone of his stature.
