The immediate role every Titans draft pick can fill

ILB Eric Gray - Round 4 (No. 106 overall)

Heading into the draft Tennessee's most glaring deficiency on the defensive side of the ball was at inside linebacker. The team added Kenneth Murray in free agency, but it still needed to find a linebacker who could handle the responsibilities that come with wearing the green dot as the defense's primary communicator.

Gray fills that void and then some. Not only is he a cerebral player as a two-time captain at North Carolina, but he's a tackling machine who is constantly in the right spot. Gray is a day one starter for Tennessee as he aims to fill the shoes Azeez Al-Shaiir leaves behind.

CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. - Round 5 (No. 146 overall)

Brownlee brings an element of physicality that Tennessee has been keen on after adding cornerbacks L'Jarius Sneed and Chibdobe Awuzie this offseason. The Louisville product by way of Florida State can play inside and out, though he admittedly prefers to play nickel.

Brownlee projects as a special teamer to start off, but he's likely the next man up behind starters Sneed and Awuzie on the outside and Roger McCreary on the inside. This pick likely sets up a training camp battle between Tre Avery and Eric Garror for the last cornerback spot on the active roster.

WR Jha'Quan Jackson - Round 6 (No. 182 overall)

Jackson brings an element of speed and versatility to Nashville. His 4.42s 40-yard dash time might be slower than his game speed. He is likely to have a rotational role in the offense early on, but his abilities in the return game make him the early favorite to return punts and kickoffs in his rookie season.

The Tulane standout will put plenty of pressure on Kyle Philips as the two will compete for snaps throughout training camp. 

LB James Williams - Round 7 (No. 242 overall)

Williams was a talented safety in his time at Miami, but Tennessee has plans for him at the linebacker position. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 231 pounds, Williams projects to be a special teamer as he aims to catch on and develop as a linebacker.

Though there will absolutely be a learning curve here, Williams has the athleticism and physicality to make the roster and serve as a depth piece in the middle of the defense as a rookie.

OLB Jaylen Harrell - Round 7 (No. 252 overall)

Harrell was the most productive defensive lineman on the Michigan Wolverines' national championship defense. At 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, Harrell projects to provide depth as an edge rusher.

He's a high-motor talent who is capable of rushing the passer and occasionally dropping in coverage. He'll have to earn his stripes on special teams before he sees meaningful snaps on the defensive line.
