Zach Brown, Tennessee Titans

Brown was very active for the Titans in 2015. He had 77 tackles and 0.5 sacks. The thing I like about him too is his height. The Cardinals need bigger linebackers. At 6-1, 248, Brown is a good-size fit in the middle. What was even more impressive in his tackle total is the fact he only started five of the 16 games he played in.

Brown has 10 sacks and six interceptions in basically three seasons of play since joining the NFL in 2012. He missed most of the 2014 season. He only played in one game that season. He’s very similar to Sean Weatherspoon in size but his productivity is higher. Some of that could be attributed to health but if not Weatherspoon, Brown would be a nice replacement.
