Tennessee Titans: Taking a Look at the Players Brought in for Visits

The NFL draft has been over for a few weeks now, but that doesn't mean that Tennessee Titans brass is done trying to improve the team's roster.

There have been several players brought in for visits, but no player signings have materialized to date—linebacker Zac Diles is the only veteran player signed post-draft.

The Titans left many fans asking questions about bringing in help at guard, center and defensive end. However, since the draft has ended, the Titans have focused their attention on bringing in some veteran depth at safety and cornerback.

Safeties Yeremiah Bell and Chris Crocker both came in for interviews on Tuesday and cornerbacks Drayton Florence (signed with the Denver Broncos), Drew Coleman and Andre Goodman made visits earlier in the offseason.

The departures of Cortland Finnegan and Chris Hope have left holes at the nickel corner position and strong safety. 

The Titans don't have any experienced depth beyond any of the starters in their secondary and, after coming up empty on Tracy Porter and William Gay earlier in the offseason, are quickly running out of options.

Drew Coleman is the best fit at nickelback. He has spent his career being a dominant player in the position and would minimize the effects of not having Finnegan.

He was a key piece of the puzzle on the New York Jets defense for years and was even better for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. 

The one knock on Coleman is that he's not a trustworthy player if he were ever moved to the outside. If either Jason McCourty or Alterraun Verner were to suffer an injury, one of the players on the current roster would have to be thrown into the fire.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Titans used defensive packages that feature five-plus defensive backs more than 50 percent of the time they are on the field. 

At safety, the need for a signing is not as dire since the player only stands to contribute on special teams, barring injury.

Bell is normally a solid starter—although he struggled mightily in 2011—and a tackling machine. He has racked up 101-plus tackles in each of the last four seasons.

Crocker has been a bit injury-prone over the last few seasons, missing 28 games in the last five seasons.

He is a very average player that doesn't normally do anything that has a major impact on the game. He is neither detrimental or beneficial to a defense's success.

New starting safety Jordan Babineaux is hardly the picture of consistency at strong safety so the Titans would be wise to find a veteran option behind him in case things go sour. 

Overall, there really aren't many great options left available for the Titans to shore up its inexperienced secondary. Coleman and Bell appear to be some solid options if they are willing to agree to the team's vacant roles.
