With the draft behind us, and no immediate defensive line help added, it’s time to look at some other players to see who might be able to help the Titans THIS YEAR.
One name that is still available is Danny Shelton. Coming off one of his best years as a pro with the Super Bowl champ Patriots, Shelton is only 26 but has four solid years and playoff experience behind him. And now a Super Bowl ring to boot.
PFF had him as the 27th best interior defender last year, and the 3rd best Nose Tackle overall. He’d be an immediate upgrade over the largely ineffective Austin Johnson and add a stout space eater to our interior.
Playing what is primarily a two down role, Shelton could be a relatively affordable player that could have a big impact on our defense right away.
