The Tennessee Titans will remodel their roster this offseason after hiring a new head coach. They moved forward with defensive-minded Robert Saleh after cutting the bait from offensive-minded Brian Callahan. Now, it's time to do something about a Titans defense that ranks 28th in points allowed in 2025.
Tennessee will definitely invest in some free agents who can hopefully help make an immediate impact. Still, a better long-term fit could come in the 2026 NFL Draft, where the Titans have the fourth overall selection.
Recently, Essential Sports' NFL draft insider Tony Pauline suggested that Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey is the “perfect” choice for coach Saleh. In fact, Pauline said that “she would be surprised if the Titans passed her by.”
Bailey recorded an FBS-high 19.5 sacks in his lone season at Texas Tech, helping him earn first-team All-American status. Now, he's ready to make his mark on the NFL.
The Titans recorded 42 sacks as a team last season, which was right in the middle of the pack. Adding a potential impact player like Bailey could help them build an above average defense instead of a subpar defense.
Tennessee also has the 35th and 66th picks in the draft, giving them a fair amount of leeway to add immediate contributors. Finding an effective pass-rusher is certainly on their wish list, and Bailey could fit the bill.
