Titans 2021 post-draft depth chart is transformed on one side, incomplete on the other

It’s so much of the same thing, post-draft press conference after post-draft press conference, year after year — we got our guys, we got better, we have our own evaluations, and so on — that it can be easy to miss when something of substance and insight is uttered. Here’s his full quote from the weekend when asked about the evaluation of Pittsburgh edge Rashad Weaver, the Titans’ fifth-round pick: “I think touching on that Senior Bowl experience, so many of these players go down and they are looking to showcase their skills and they ask them to move down inside and here is a kid that’s going to go and try to make a name for himself or get recognized playing a position he’s played for four years in college and they move him inside to play three-technique, and he didn’t leave,” Vrabel said of Weaver. 3 outside linebacker, behind incumbent starter Harold Landry and Bud Dupree, the Titans’ big-ticket free-agent signing — who also happens to be a friend and mentor to Weaver from their time together in Pittsburgh. Also, this group should be better because Evans is playing for a second contract in the league, presuming the Titans do as expected and don’t pick up his fifth-year option by Monday’s deadline. He’s also still one of the best ever at the position and sounds better at this point than second-year pro McCann or undrafted free-agent pickup Blake Haubeil of Ohio State.
