Of course I would love to make the argument the Titans are much higher in the league's power ranking, I am fairly biased as I am a DIE HARD Titans fan. So I do want to sort of take into account an outsider's perspective and even a casual fan's perspective, and I reluctantly place my Titans at #17.
The Titans have got a potential tremendous four player core on offense with The King Derrick Henry, newly acquired star wideout DeAndre Hopkins, about to break out second year receiver Treylon Burks and solid and underrated QB Ryan Tannehill.
The Titans have a really good defense and they're always coached well with former Coach of the Year in Mike Vrabel.
Many believe the Jags are going to just run away with the AFC South, even though Josh Dobbs almost took the division championship from them last season in the very last game LOL.
The Titans obviously have questions though or I would have put them higher. There's some vets on this team that need to continue to prove themselves, and there's some young guys that need to really grow on this team. They had a lot of injuries but did only have seven wins last season. It'd also be great if they could win in the playoffs!
Still, at #17, the Titans need perform just a bit higher than expectations and they could easily be a playoff team.
I believe this team could be a contender, but we will just have to wait and see!
