The Ken Whisenhunt era got off to a nice start with a Week 1 upset at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. But the Titans only won once more afterward. Very few positions on the depth chart are settled, and the transition to coordinator Ray Horton's 3-4 defense was a rough one.
Contract issues: Free agent left tackle Michael Roos has been a mainstay but went down to injury and was capably replaced by rookie Taylor Lewan. However the release of right tackle Michael Oher creates a spot for Roos if he opts against retirement. Derrick Morgan did actually thrive under Horton after switching to linebacker, and it would make sense to re-sign him. The Jake Locker experiment is over.
Draft pickings: The Titans will be selecting early in every round and will have the option of taking Winston or Mariota second overall. However if Mariota, who doesn't project as a snug scheme fit for Whisenhunt's playbook, is the one left on the board, the Titans might be wise to field offers. They'll clearly be picking in "best player available" mode, though defensive backs could be a priority.
