During the first wave of NFL free agency, the Tennessee were proactive in addressing many of the team's biggest needs. 

Tennessee agreed to terms with linebackers Azeez Al-Shaair and Luke Gifford, defensive end Arden Key, and found two starting offensive linemen in Andre Dillard and Daniel Brunskill.

First-year GM Ran Carthon has done a good job of identifying underrated free agents that can fill immediate holes on the Titans roster, but fixing all of this team's issues is a lot easier said than done. Even with a number of impact players being signed this week, Tennessee has more work to do if they plan on competing for an AFC South title in 2023.

Here's a look at the three biggest needs still remaining for the Titans:

1. Wide Receiver

There is a legitimate argument to be made that the current Titans wide receiving corps is the worst in the league. 

Treylon Burks, who played just 393 offensive snaps in his rookie 2022 season, is somehow the most experienced wide receiver on Tennessee's roster. Outside of Burks and fellow second-year receiver Kyle Philips, the only Titans wide receivers under contract are Racey McMath, Mason Kinsey, and Reggie Roberson Jr.

Tennessee probably needs to add two, maybe even three wide receivers throughout this offseason. At least one of those can come in the earlier rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Titans should still be in the market for some veteran talent in free agency.

At least for now, there is every indication that the Titans are committed to having both Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry on their roster next season. If that's the case, they simply must get more talent around them and find experienced players that can create separation downfield.

DJ Chark, Darius Slayton, and Mecole Hardman are three players that would fit in well with this group.

2. Left Guard

At one point, it looked as if the Titans needed to find four offensive line starters this offseason. LT Taylor Lewan and C Ben Jones were released by the team and RG Nate Davis agreed to a free agent contract with the Chicago Bears.

After a series of moves this week, just one more starting spot needs to be filled.

The Titans signed Andre Dillard to a 3 year, $29 million deal, presumably to be the team's new left tackle. Tennessee then added Daniel Brunskill, who is most experienced as a right guard, and placed a second-round RFA tender on Aaron Brewer.

While Brewer played left guard for the Titans in 2022, the continued concern over his size gives reason to believe he will be moving back to center next season. Brewer's athleticism makes him excel in the run game, but his 274 pound frame is a big weakness in pass protection.

Should Brewer move to center, the Titans will need to find a starting left guard for 2023 (or a starting left tackle with Dillard moving inside).

Perhaps this is where Carthon and Tennessee plan to go in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Picking 11th overall, Paris Johnson Jr. and Peter Skoronski will be two players frequently mocked to land in Nashville.

3. Cornerback

The Titans would be wise to add another established defensive back to their secondary. Currently, Kristian Fulton and Roger McCreary are slotted as Tennessee's top two corners in 2023, but the Titans' depth behind them is lacking.

2021 first-round pick Caleb Farley really struggled last year and remains an unknown  after another back surgery in December. Elijah Molden missed almost the entire 2022 season with nagging groin issues and Tre Avery was impressive as a rookie, but is still unproven.

In an ideal world, McCreary could move to nickel with Fulton opposite of a new face on the perimeter. 

It's not the top priority right now, but even Fulton has a history of soft tissue related injury problems and adding another piece to the secondary would give Tennessee some much needed insurance.
