The Tennessee Titans put together one of the most promising runs we’ve seen from the team in a long time last year, and they’ll look to build upon that success as we prepare for the upcoming 2020 NFL season.
Tennessee had a solid draft, addressing the offensive line first with former Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson, and making what could prove to be a very important addition to the secondary by adding former LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton in the second round.
So, where does the team rank in the eyes of analysts before the action starts this September?
In Sports Illustrated’s power rankings, which was based on a consensus of votes from Albert Breer, Andrew Brandt, Gary Gramling, Mitch Goldich, Connor Orr and Jenny Ventras, the Titans were tied with the Green Bay Packers at No. 7 overall.
That’s directly ahead of the Buffalo Bills, and just behind the Seattle Seahawks. The Titans were ranked as high as No. 5 by one voter, but as low as No. 14 by another.
Points in poll: 146
Highest-place vote: 5 (1 voter)
Lowest-place vote: 14 (1 voter)
Season result: 9-7, lost in AFC championship game
Post-SB Rank: 4
SI Draft Grade: BThe Titans caught lightning in a bottle down the stretch and decided to run it back. How long can they ride that lightning?
The Kansas City Chiefs, who won the most recent Super Bowl, sat atop the list, followed by the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.
How closely will this projection align with reality? We’ll have a much better idea toward the end of this year.
