The Tennessee Titans did their best to address the need for a pass-rusher by signing Vic Beasley this offseason, and they may not be done adding to the position, with the team having an interest in Jadeveon Clowney.
But even if Clowney is added, that might not solve the issue for the long haul, as Beasley is on a one-year deal and Clowney may choose to take a one-year “prove-it” deal after failing to get the big offers he desired.
Looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft, Bleacher Report’s Mandela Namaste believes the Titans could add Miami EDGE Quincy Roche to bolster their pass-rush for the future. He has the Titans making that pick at No. 19 overall.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Roche, who transferred to Miami this year, played the last three years at Temple, with his best season coming in 2019 when he totaled career-highs in sacks (13) and tackles for loss (19).
Here’s a little more information on Roche, courtesy of Pro Football Focus’ Michael Renner.
You’ll probably know him as the other Miami edge defender this fall. Roche transferred in from Temple where he was pretty much unblockable for the Owls in 2019. His 68 pressures are the most of any returning player in the country, as is his 93.3 pass-rushing grade. He needs to add some muscle to his frame, but he has the pass-rushing moves down pat.
Aside from EDGE, the Titans may also have wide receiver atop their list of priorities in the 2021 NFL Draft, depending on what happens with Corey Davis, who is in a contract year after the team declined his fifth-year option.
