Titans' Franklin-Myers Shifts EDGE Rusher Focus

On April 1st, Tennessee Titans fans keep pushing for big EDGE Russia this off-season,

eyeing that fourth overall pick.

But the depth chart tells a different story with four solid options already,

Jermaine Johnson, Femiola Dejo, Jacob Martin, and Jalen Herald.

Coaches have hyped Ola Dejo a lot lately, so it might not be as thin as it looks.

Earlier this week at the NFL Owners meetings, head coach Robert Solid

dropped some clarity on John Franklin Myers.

Fans had guessed he played EDGE on early downs to stop the run, then slide inside for pass rushes.

Turns out, that's the exact plan.

Smart fans called it out first, noticing Franklin Myers was missing from those EDGE lists.

His track record backs it up.

He's been a top interior pass rusher over the last five years,

with that inside-out versatility adding real value to the defense.

Solid confirmed it straight up.

Franklin Myers shuts down runs from the edge, especially against tight ends,

and turns beast mode inside on third.

Downs.

This tweak makes the front seven way more flexible without forcing a splash at EDGE.

So now, with less pressure there, the Titans could grab Jermaine I love F4,

hit another spot, or even trade down for extra picks to build deeper.

Keeps the draft wide open.
