The Tennessee Titans could go a number of different directions with their first-round NFL Draft pick, perhaps grabbing a young up-and-coming tight end to eventually replace the veteran, Delanie Walker. Another outside wide receiver would be nice, too.

All that said, Tennessee would be wise to shore up the defensive line, namely finding someone to pair with interior defender Jurrell Casey.

A name to watch here is Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. One of the reasons Clelin Ferrell was so successful the past two seasons was because of Wilkins’ interior presence. While not as prolific as Quinnen Williams or Ed Oliver, Wilkins is more than adept at wreaking havoc up front and creating opportunities for edge rushers.

The Titans need to think about that group, too, even after adding 37-year-old veteran EDGE Cameron Wake in free agency.

That can be addressed in Round 2, if the Titans elect to go that route.
