Jon Robinson's third draft tells us he didn't think players were responsible for 2017 offensive woes
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Over and over after shedding Mike Mularkey, Jon Robinson talked of how the Titans failed to maximize the talents of their players in 2017, when they won a playoff game but felt very much like a team that rarely played to its potential.
That’s what prompted the franchise to move away from Mularkey, Terry Robiskie and the vast majority of the staff despite a second consecutive 9-7 season, despite the playoff upset in Kansas City.
In free agency, the Titans added only one major piece on offense, running back Dion Lewis. While he will have a big role, he may not qualify as a starter.
Beyond that, the veteran additions were depth pieces: backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert, offensive linemen Xavier Su’a-Filo and Kevin Pamphile, low-ranking wide receiver Michael Campanaro.
And now, with two trades up that pared the Titans down to just four picks, the team spent only one on offense. Luke Falk is in line to be a developmental third-string quarterback.
