A closer look at the positions the Tennessee Titans could target at the NFL combine in Indianapolis:

Positions of need: The Titans cut one of their starting cornerbacks, Perrish Cox, after 12 games last season, which symbolized just how badly things were going at the position. Jason McCourty is due $7 million and while he may still be able to contribute in the final year of his contract, the Titans can no longer look to him as their lead cornerback. The position needs a revamp even if LeShaun Sims, a 2016 fifth-rounder, turns out to be a capable top-three corner. The receivers did some good things last season, as the Titans started an era that will emphasize precision and dependability at the spot over raw athleticism. But with Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe as the top two, the Titans lack a player at the position who can dictate coverage.

Targets:

Marshon Lattimore (cornerback), Ohio State: Rated by many as the draft’s best cornerback, he’s 6-foot-1 and 192 pounds. ESPN.com’s scouting report says he “does an outstanding job of reading receivers' routes,” which is something the Titans current pool of cornerbacks can’t claim. Lattimore has very good speed and is viewed as a strong man-to-man player, which is something the Titans have asked of their corners more.

Mike Williams (wide receiver), Clemson: In the Tigers’ national championship win over Alabama, Williams made just the sort of plays the Titans' offense needs. He won matchups and went and got the ball. He may not run a 40 that earns him a top-end speed label, but he could prove to be "football fast" in the NFL. "At his best stretching the field," ESPN.com’s scouting report says. "While he doesn't have an elite second gear he has deceptive top-end speed and flashes ability to take the top off the coverage." Taking the top off the coverage can really change things for the Titans' offense.

Sidney Jones (cornerback), Washington: He’s not as big as Lattimore at 6-foot and 180 pounds, but he has the sort of ball skills for which the team is desperate. Says ESPN.com’s scouting report: “Frequently shows the ability to play the ball without making contact with the intended target.” That alone should perk up the Titans’ ears.

Corey Davis (wide receiver), Western Michigan: The Titans are moving away from athletic guys who don’t do things correctly (Justin Hunter and Dorial Green-Beckham were both dumped before the 2016 season). But Davis may be a combination of great physical traits and the precision the Titans now demand. And the run-first Titans want willing and capable blockers at receiver. “Effort as a blocker is a touch inconsistent but above average at times,” ESPN.com’s scouting report says. “Shows ability to get into position and sustain when motivated."
