Coming off another loss, the Tennessee Titans (2-8) will travel to NRG Stadium to take on the Houston Texans in AFC South action.
That, of course, provides those of us here at Titans Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Texans’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades. The Titans have talent at multiple positions, but could still use an influx of talent on all levels, and the Texans offer a variety of players that could improve the roster.
Heading into this Week 12 battle, right tackle is the most glaring need on the roster. Sure, some will say quarterback or dynamic edge rusher, and others possibly tight end or receiver, but the hole at right tackle is a huge problem that has a ripple effect for the entire offense. The Texans have options at almost all of those positions, thus making this exercise the most interesting of the season.
With Will Levis still truly an unknown quantity at this point, quarterback C.J. Stroud would be a solid pick-up. However, his sophomore campaign has not been quite as dynamic as his rookie season and there are some questions. Especially considering most of his struggles are tied to injuries to the players around him. While bringing him onto the Titans would make sense, it is likely his struggles would continue, so this week it’s a pass.
Wide receiver Nico Collins, defensive ends Will Anderson Jr and Daneille Hunter, and tight end Dalton Schultz are also potential targets, but one player on their roster could make a larger impact: offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Tunsil is arguably the best offensive tackle in the league and would instantly upgrade the entire offensive line. Plus, being in the middle of a three-year, $75 million contract, the former first-round selection of the Miami Dolphins would be in Nashville through the 2025 season. His addition would allow the Titans to slide 2024 first-round selection JC Latham to his more natural right tackle position and give the team bookends to an already solid interior.
What are your thoughts, Titans fans? Would you pick Laremy Tunsil or steal an entirely different player from the Houston Texans?
