Starting offense projection after first wave of FA

Aside from wide receiver, offensive line is the most unsolidified group on offense.

Tennessee signed Andre Dillard to presumably play left tackle, but I don’t think that means the Titans are totally out on a left tackle at No. 11 overall.

I would argue NPF isn’t safe after a lackluster rookie campaign and general manager change, and that’s especially true if Tennessee does land a tackle who is ready to start right away.

In that scenario, some combination of the rookie and Dillard could man the tackle spots, leaving NPF to either switch to guard or be left out in the cold entirely. Dillard also has the versatility to play guard, so a move inside for him is also possible.

Aaron Brewer figures to slot in at center after the Titans placed a second-round tender on him, but the 2020 UDFA is still available to receive offer sheets from other teams and can be poached away.

Adding to that, he simply wasn’t good as a starter in 2022, albeit at left guard, which isn’t his natural position.

Brunskill, who spent last season as a backup, is a solid player but I do think he’ll still have to compete for one of the guard spots. Regardless, he should be viewed as a favorite to start for the time being.

Of all the spots upfront, left guard is the most uncertain.

Brunskill is an option there, also, but says he’s more comfortable on the right side, and that’s where his starts came from in 2021.

A Day 2 or later pick of a guard is likely here (center is also possible), as is another free-agent addition, so there’s still room to muddy this situation even further.

Putting that aside for now, Jamarco Jones might be the favorite based on what’s on the roster currently.

Jones, who was expected to be cut but remains on the team, was competing for the left guard job in 2022 before his season was derailed due to injury. Vrabel was also very high on him, at least publicly.

Granted, I don’t endorse this move, but that’s just the reality of the situation with Dillon Radunz uncertain for the start of the season after suffering a torn ACL, and with Corey Levin still a free agent.

If Jones does enter the season as the starter, he’ll be vulnerable if he falters, as he could have Radunz (if recovered), Levin (if re-signed) and/or a draft pick waiting behind him.
