The Tennessee Titans started off the 2015 season with a battle of top picks with their pick Marcus Mariota and Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston. The Titans beat out the Bucs 42-14 and Mariota threw for four touchdowns. The rest of the season would not carry the same joy and hope that fans felt in Week 1. The Titans made some big moves that could help the team in the future and help with the growth of their coveted 2015 first round pick.
2015 record: 3-13
Key draft picks: OT Jake Conklin, LB Kevin Dodd, RB Derrick Henry
Key additions: RB DeMarco Murray, WR Andre Johnson
Key departures: S Michael Griffin
A lot didn’t work out for the Titans last season, but there aren’t high expectations for a team in the early stages of a major rebuild. Mariota appeared in 12 games of his rookie season where he threw for 2,818 yards and 19 touchdowns and 16 total turnovers. The offense line gave up 54 sacks on the season, 38 to Mariota alone.
With that alarm stat, the Titans’ brass invested their first round pick in protection for Mariota with Jake Conklin to go on the line with Chance Warmack and Taylor Lewan.
To help protect Mariota and take pressure off of him, the Titans made a big trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for DeMarco Murray. Murray gives them an instant upgrade at the running back position where the group for Tennessee ranked 25th in yards per game. Read more..
