The former Titans scouting director evaluates Cam Ward's supporting cast, makes the case for more Chimere Dike and Alontae Taylor, identifies trade candidates and examines what Tennessee must do with its new draft capital.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans started Sunday’s game fast, with energy and effort that the Bengals struggled to match. The effort and intensity were much better on the Tennessee side, but the talent ultimately took over for the Bengals.
Cincinnati showcased two top receivers and a top-10 NFL QB.
The first 300-yard passing game of Cam Ward’s career, and over 10 yards rushing from Tony Pollard, served as an example of how the Titans offense can evolve the rest of the season. They put the ball into the hands of their playmakers and in this game those were Pollard, Gunnar Helm and Chimere Dike.
Carnell Tate needs to be one of those playmakers going forward. Wan’Dale Robinson and Elic Ayomanor are solid outlet options and capable of being quality down-the-line options on offense.
