Scout's take: Offensive linemen the Titans may consider in the draft

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, special contributor

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Over the past few years, the Titans' offensive line seemed to be in constant flux.

This year will be no different with three new starters and four of the five positions having new starters.

   Will Levis

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – If Bill Parcells was coaching now and needed a quarterback, he may have needed to adjust his criteria for drafting one.

In Friday’s mailbag, I looked at how Anthony Richardson is a complete strikeout in Parcells’ seven-category checklist.

PK TV: Everything on your mind about the Titans and more

Paul KuharskyNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Some questions were answered, or at least Mike Vrabel and Ran Carthon heard them and discussed the topics. We learned that the venue that will replace Nissan Stadium won't open until 2027, saving your parking situation for this season and your PSL cash for a little while longer.

I knew there was a lot on your mind with moves still unmade, cap dollars to be freed and draft picks less than a month away.

So we gathered and hashed a lot of it out the same way we do in excellent conversations among our ranks.

One big takeaway that I pushed on you: Free yourself of the underdog story and demand more.

Mike Herndon: How Ran Carthon can create Titans' cap space

Mike Herndon: How Ran Carthon can create Titans' cap space

By MIKE HERNDON, columnist

NASHVILLE. Tenn. -- According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Titans currently have $7,152,103 in cap space officially according to the NFL’s accounting after contracts for the new free agent additions announced became official – Andre Dillard, Azeez Al-Shaair, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Daniel Brunskill, Arden Key, and Luke Gifford.

Signing their 2023 NFL Draft class will cost approximately $6.58 million against the cap according to Spotrac.com and Tennessee will certainly be keeping a few million (probably somewhere close to $10 million based on previous years) as operating cash to allow them to sign and/or trade for players throughout the 2023 season.

That means that the Titans are in a spot where they are going to have to create some additional cap space in 2023 regardless of whether they sign any additional free agents or add anyone else via trade. If they do intend to continue making additions – which seems very likely based on the state of the roster today – the amount of space they have to open up will obviously increase.

A closer look at the Titans, the run game and the Warriors with Ran Carthon

A closer look at the Titans, the run game and the Warriors with Ran Carthon

Ran CarthonPHOENIX – In his introductory press conference and again when he spoke to the press at the scouting combine, Ran Carthon answered a question about the Titans' potential success as a run-based offense with an answer about the Golden State Warriors.

Everyone likes fast-break football, was the gist of what he said, but it’s not the way to win late in the season.

I brought this up with Carthon at the NFL annual meeting because the Warriors are the NBA’s defending champions and have won four of the league’s last eight titles and because I think most would agree the NFL’s version of the Warriors are the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning Super Bowl champs who also won in 2019.

But actual construction on the $2.1 billion covered stadium will not start until the early offseason in 2024 and the window for having the new venue ready for the 2026 NFL season has passed.

The Titans now expect to begin play there in 2027, PaulKuharsky.com has learned at the NFL annual meeting.
