Cornerbacks and wide receivers tend to garner the headlines, but the Tennessee Titans would benefit from signing an interior defensive lineman.

Right now is an exciting time to be a fan of the Tennessee Titans.

The team is coming off a 9-7 season in which they barely missed the playoffs.

Tennessee’s winning season was a pleasant surprise, considering they lost 13 games in 2015.

Because of their success in 2016, the Titans are already a trendy pick to make a splash in the AFC next season. In fact, several analysts are considering Tennessee the favorite to win the AFC South in 2017.

There are still several areas, however, where the Titans need to improve.

Cornerback and wide receiver are the two obvious positions that need to be upgraded, but the Titans could also use an interior defensive lineman.

Al Woods has been decent for the Titans, but he hasn’t exactly been impressive.

The Titans could choose to either go after an elite interior defensive lineman, or get Woods some help.

Here are five free agent defensive linemen we think the Titans should give a look.
