5 Tennessee Titans on the Hot Seat After the 2015 NFL Draft

Bishop Sankey Tennessee Titans — A 2-14 season in 2014 puts the Tennessee Titans into another phase of rebuilding, and any veterans on the roster have to be on notice.

Here are five Titans who are on the hot seat after the 2015 NFL Draft.

A 2-14 season in 2014 puts the Tennessee Titans into another phase of rebuilding, and any veterans on the roster have to be on notice.

Here are five Titans who are on the hot seat after the 2015 NFL Draft.

5. DE Ropati Pitoitua

5. DE Ropati Pitoitua

The Titans drafted Auburn defensive tackle Angelo Blackson in the fourth round, but he could fit as a 5-technique defensive end in Ray Horton's 3-4 scheme and push Pitoitua for a starting job right away.

4. QB Charlie Whitehurst

4. QB Charlie Whitehurst

Whitehurst started five games for Tennessee last season, which tells you all you need to know about the team's quarterback situation and helps explain the dismal record. With No. 2 overall pick Marcus Mariota in the fold, Whitehurst is not likely to keep a roster spot.

3. RB Shonn Greene

Greene was on shaky ground before the Titans selected David Cobb in the fifth round of the draft. Now he's virtually certain to not make it to Week 1 with the team.

2. RB Bishop Sankey

2. RB Bishop Sankey

Sankey was the first running back drafted in 2014, but he had a mediocre rookie season (3.7 yards per carry, two touchdowns and 18 receptions). David Cobb is a serious threat to his starting job.

1. WR Justin Hunter

1. WR Justin Hunter

Hunter has underachieved in two seasons, with 46 receptions for 852 yards and seven touchdowns over 26 games. The Titans drafted two wide receivers (Dorial Green-Beckham and Tre McBride) to go along with the offseason signings of Harry Douglas and Hakeem Nicks, so a signal is out that Hunter needs to step up his level of play.
