The 2024 NFL Draft is just a few short weeks away now. The first few waves of free agency signings are behind us. Draft strategies are starting to become clear for every single NFL team by the day. So, what should the Tennessee Titans do with their first two picks this year?

There may not be one "right" answer, but we can learn a lot about the most likely outcomes just by combining all available mock draft data out there. As I always do in spring, I gather data from every mock draft in existence to help predict the future for the NFL Draft. Here's what the last 150+ NFL mock drafts over the last month are saying the Titans could or should do in the first and second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Tennessee Titans First Round Targets

• Joe Alt, OT Notre Dame
• Olumuyiwa, Fashanu, OT Penn State
• JC Latham, OT Alabama
• Malik Nabers, WR LSU
• Rome Odunze, WR Washington
• Dallas Turner, EDGE Alabama
• Brock Bowers, TE Georgia

The Tennessee Titans have a clear need at offensive tackle, perhaps more than anywhere else on their offense.

Titans general manager Ran Carthon brought in Lloyd Cushenberry to play center and Saahdiq Charles to help at guard. Peter Skoronski should dominate at the other guard spot. The interior of the offensive line should be improved. But the tackle spot? That was a revolving door of mediocrity (at best) a year ago and there's still a major opening there.

When looking at the past few weeks of mock drafts offensive tackle has been the selection for the Titans over 80% of the time. Joe Alt is the easy slam dunk selection, but Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers have made it clear they're in the market for offensive tackle too. With Alt being the consensus best tackle in the class, the Titans can't count on him making it to pick seven.

Olu Fashanu (LT, Penn State) has been a chalk top 15 pick projection for a year now, and has become the second most common option in mock drafts for the Titans first round pick. JC Latham (RT, Alabama) is now a close third. The Titans' more pressing need would be on the left side of the line (with Alt/Fashanu), but Latham's dominating physicality would be a great fit as well.

If the Titans don't go offensive tackle, it seems Malik Nabers (LSU) or Rome Odunze (Washington) would be the best bet at wide receiver. And frankly, the team can't go wrong selecting either one. Nabers led all receivers in yards per game last fall. Odunze led all receivers in total yards after Washington's run to the national championship. Both profile as top tier athletes with the ability to operate as a top tier team's number one wide receiver.

The wild card options seem to be Dallas Turner (EDGE Alabama) who may be one of the most dominant edge defender prospects ever, and Brock Bowers (TE, Georgia) who on paper has the most absurd production profile for a college tight end in the history of the game. The Titans truly can't go wrong with their first pick given the depth of top tier options, mostly on the offensive side of the ball.

Tennessee Titans Second Round Targets

• Chris Braswell, EDGE Alabama
• Darius Robinson, DL Missouri
• Tyler Guyton, OT Oklahoma
• Kingsley Suamataia, OT BYU
• Kamari Lassiter, CB Georgia
• Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M
• Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas
• Troy Franklin, WR Oregon

Offensive Targets in Round Two

Obviously, the Titans second round pick is largely dependent on what Carthon and new head coach Brian Callahan decide to do in round one. But the theme from recent large sample mock draft data seems to be consistent in their understanding of both offensive tackle need and coach Callahan's usage of three wide receiver sets.

If the Titans don't get an offensive tackle in the first round there really is no other option but for them to go that direction in the second round. The good news is that this offensive tackle class is seriously double-digits deep with immediate starters at the position. Both Tyler Guyton (though inexperienced) and Kingsley Suamataia (able to play both left and right tackle) would be amazing values in round two.

Adonai Mitchell (Texas) and Troy Franklin (Oregon) have become every NFL team's favorite targets from picks 26 to 38 in recent mock draft data. Mitchell has the 99th percentile A to Z Athletic Composite profile to be a prototypical X receiver long-term. Troy Franklin has the elite verified in-game athleticism and speed to break off long receptions and create yards after the catch.

As I outlined recently, Brian Callahan loves to utilize three wide receiver sets and specifically his slot option quite often. Drafting a strong third wide receiver seems like a lock at some point.

Defensive Targets in Round Two

If the Titans decide to go defense in round two the consensus priority seems to be a mix of edge and defensive line needs. Darius Robinson can play defensive tackle or edge defender as he was moved all over Missouri's defensive line. And Chris Braswell is perhaps the most versatile true edge defender as Alabama's multiple-front defense had him attacking the quarterback in all kinds of ways from a number of pre-snap alignments.

The two other defensive picks likely don't happen, but they're worth a note either way. The most popular early second round cornerback pick is Kamari Lassiter (and not just for the Titans), but he's been rising up boards a bit, so he might not make it to Tennessee. And Edgerrin Cooper, while versatile and talented, would certainly be viewed as a "reach" at pick 38 by many given the abundance of likely better options there at more critical positions.

It's clear, the Titans need offensive tackles, wide receivers, and Edge/DL help. The most likely outcome seems to be that the Titans go offensive tackle first, then perhaps wide receiver (given the high concentration of selections in both the first and second rounds), then they fill out the defensive front in round four where there should be several tier two and three defensive lineman prospects available.
