"The Rams signing cornerback Jaylen Watson. After trading for Kansas City's Trent McDuffie, the Rams added another Chiefs cornerback. With his physical coverage traits and ability to align in press, Watson fits as the boundary matchup versus the X receiver. That will allow McDuffie to play to middle of the field in coordinator Chris Shula's defense."
"The Chiefs signing running back Kenneth Walker III. He fixes one area of inconsistency for the Chiefs: the run game. When you already have quarterback Patrick Mahomes and an offense built around the pass, what stresses a defense the most is a back who can turn a routine carry into a 20-yard gain. That's Walker's game."
"The Titans signing defensive end John Franklin-Myers. They have been desperate for an outside pass rush, and Franklin-Myers is a dream scheme fit in the Robert Saleh defense. His ability to line up inside, head-up on a tackle or play wide in a 6-technique gives the Titans maximum versatility up front."

The Chiefs' addition of Kenneth Walker III addresses their run game inconsistency, providing explosive rushing capability alongside Patrick Mahomes' passing offense. The Titans' signing of defensive end John Franklin-Myers fills a critical pass rush need within Robert Saleh's defensive system.
