Happy draft week! The 2021 NFL Draft is just days away. Wee going heavy on draft content this week. I looked at some under-the-radar receiver prospects the Titans could look to target on Day 3 last week, and today I shifting my focus to EDGE rushers. The Titans made a splash in free agency by signing former Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree to a big contract Matt Overton Pet Jersey. Tennessee pass rush was abysmal last season. General manager Jon Robinson is hoping that an elite talent like Dupree will bolster that unit. Dupree is set to start opposite Harold Landry this season. The large financial commitment made to Dupree could mean that the team won look to draft an EDGE rusher on Day 1 or 2. With the two starters firmly in place, the Titans could look to address a couple of other positions before turning their attention back to the quarterback hunters. I wouldn completely rule out an EDGE player in the first three rounds https://www.tennesseefanstoreonline.com/Jeremy_Mcnichols_Pillow_Cover-461, but I think the team is more likely to add some depth here via a Day 3 selection. With that said, let take a look at a couple of EDGE rushers that would make sense for the Titans to target on Day 3. Jonathon Cooper, EDGE, Ohio StateIt a bit strange to call any player from a program like Ohio State a sleeper, but Jonathon Cooper isn getting a ton of attention right now. I a big fan of what he brings to the table. Cooper went down to the Senior Bowl back in January and had a great week. His bread-and-butter is converting speed to power as a pass rusher. He has some nice counters in his toolbox. His hands are active and advanced for a prospect. Cooper isn the longest edge defender in the world (31. 6-inch arms and a 78. 5-inch wingspan) but his motor is always running hot and he has some nice variety in his arsenal. Cooper is getting ready to enter the NFL on the back of his best season as a Buckeye. He registed 3. 5 sacks as a senior in just eight games. Coming in at 6-foot-2 and 253 pounds, Cooper isn the biggest guy so it was important for him to test well. That exactly what he did at Ohio State Pro Day. Cooper ran a 4. 69 in the 40-yard dash. His agility times of 4. 31 in the short shuttle and 6. 99 in the three-cone places him in elite company when it comes to the position. If the Titans are looking for depth and value on Day 3, a player like Cooper makes a lot of sense. Jonathon Cooper intrigues me more and more each time I watch him DeShone Kizer Hoodie. . .
