Pro Football Focus released their yearly grades on the 2015 NFL free agents. While some of these people will obviously be franchise tagged, some will slip through the cracks.

For a team so defensively needy like the Titans, this free agent class could be exactly what they need. The top five players on this list is essentially a whose who of front seven players that can get to the quarterback. If the Titans managed to end up with even one of them, it would make fixing the defense so much easier.
There is also a lot of safety depth on this list, including everyone's favorite should-be Titans, Devin McCourty. For what it is worth (with no inside knowledge of the team) I would think that Tennessee would be a huge draw to Devin. With how close those brothers appear to be, combined with how how little the Patriots seem to value DBs, this move makes a lot of sense.
As for the interior linebacker spot, there isn't really a ton of help on the board here. Rolando McClain has been dominant this year, but can he be trusted long term? Personally my favorite LB on the board for Tennessee is Brandon Spikes. Last year I was cheering for the Titans to bring in James Harrison (who has been a star for Pittsburgh) and for similar reasons I think Tennessee should bring in Spikes. The Titans need tone-setters on defense and they have whiffed on Bernard Pollard and Wesley Woodyard in the past, maybe Spikes is the guy they need.
