The Tennessee Titans have been linked to a handful of different NFL Draft prospects recently, which led me to create my own NFL Mock Draft. Here is how I would draft as of now if I were the Titans’ manager.
No. 5 – Jordan Seaton, Offensive Tackle, LSU Tigers: Protecting Cam Ward’s blindside

With the first selection in the draft, I went with Jordan Seaton, who I believe is the best left tackle in the draft. He has dominated the college scene for the Colorado Buffaloes, and he is now going to do the same under Lane Kiffin at LSU. He will be a great blindside tackle for Cam Ward.
No. 37 – Brice Pollock, Cornerback, Texas Tech: Bolstering a rebuilt secondary
The Titans need some help when it comes to the cornerback room. Adding a guy like Pollock allows more depth, as he could either transition to the slot in the NFL, or Alontae Taylor, who is helping steady the Titans’ overhauled secondary, could go to the slot. He would be the perfect ball-hawk addition.
No. 69 – Iapani Laloulu, Center, Oregon: Adding interior offensive line depth

As of now, the Titans have Pat Coogan as their young option with Austin Schlottmann. While Coogan is great at what he does, adding another center could be key, especially considering one of the players could transition to guard if needed. I think this is the perfect selection, although some will say this is too early.
No. 105 – Bray Hubbard, Safety, Alabama: A potential steal late in the draft

Bray Hubbard is an excellent safety, and he would be a later selection who has the chance to become a year one starter. The depth at safety isn’t great, but as of now, the Titans have some question marks within both expected starters. Adding Hubbard with a late selection could be the steal of the draft.
No. 145 – Mike Matthews, Wide Receiver, Tennessee: Insurance behind an aging Ridley

Calvin Ridley is a veteran body in a wide receiver room now pushed by Elic Ayomanor. It is unknown how long he will have left. With Elic Ayomanor and Carnell Tate both having the opportunity to be starters, it remains unknown if that will be enough down the line on the outside. Adding a former five-star and a proven wide receiver like Mike Matthews could be massive.
No. 186 – Kameryn Crawford, EDGE, USC: Depth off the bench at EDGE

The options at EDGE are limited, but this would be a move for depth rather than looking for a starter. This would be a great and proven addition to use off the bench for the Titans, as he even produced 5.5 sacks last season.
No. 225 – Fluff Bothwell, Running Back, Mississippi State: Rounding out the backfield

Fluff Bothwell is a veteran running back in college with a track record that shows he can dominate in both the rushing attack and the receiving game. I believe that he is going to be a star for the Titans if they select him, even becoming a possible starter down the line.
