Tennessee Titans Rise Four Spots in Post-2023 NFL Draft Power Rankings
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans offseason has been less than flashy. They made some logical yet uninspiring free agent signings and, outside of the move for Will Levis, had a solid draft even if it didn't garner a ton of attention. Regardless of the lack of fireworks, the Titans offseason so far has boosted them up a few spots in a recent power rankings list from NFL.com.
Dan Hanzus, the host of the popular "Around the NFL" podcast and writer at NFL.com, put out his power rankings list after the NFL draft and the Titans climb the rankings from spot 28 up to spot 24. Yes, the end result is not much to brag about, but hey, it is improvement, perceived or not. Here is what Hanzus had to say about the Titans.
"The Titans made a sensible move on Thursday night, selecting versatile Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski with the 11th overall pick. One night later, they pulled the trigger on a trade that ended the draft-board freefall of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis two picks into the second round. Ryan Tannehill remains on the roster, and he might stay there as coach Mike Vrabel and GM Ran Carthon attempt to balance contending in the present with developing for the future. The decision to import Levis says all you need to know about the team's thoughts on Malik Willis, a third-round pick last year who appears to very suddenly be the odd man out in the quarterback room."
Hanzus makes a great point about Willis, something we covered here on AllTitans.com on Monday. A balance of the future and the present is exactly what the Titans are trying to find, but it is possible trying to walk two paths only leads down the wrong one. The Titans will need to finish the season higher than No. 24 on the power rankings once the games begin.
