Draft day is here. The Tennessee Titans have an opportunity to reshape their future. In this, my final predictive Titans mock draft, I take a swing on the shape of what this draft class might look like:

Tennessee Titans 7-Round Mock Draft 7.0

Round 1, Pick 4: RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame

I am not wavering on the top of this draft. The Titans will draft one of David Bailey, Arvell Reese, or Jeremiyah Love. The Sonny Styles noise has been deafening, and I wrote here about why I believe it’s all smoke. What the Jets and Cardinals do in front of Tennessee (watch out for a trade at 3) will determine who the Titans take. If an EDGE is still there, I think they take him. But I still expect both top pass rushers to come off the board at 2 and 3.

Round 2, Pick 35: OG Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon

Here is what I can already tell you is the most inaccurate part of this mock draft: there are no trades. I will be surprised if Mike Borgonzi doesn’t do some wheeling and dealing. Fact: the Titans front office hopes to come out of this weekend with additional top-100 draft capital. I think they’ll try real hard to make that happen.

But those are hard to project, so let’s operate on the assumption they can’t find any dance partners. I think the Titans have their eyes on this second tier of guard prospects who will go in the top-50. Bisontis and Rutledge are the other two guys in that group, but Pregnon is the best marriage of likely to be available and fit with this Titans. He’d be penciled in strongly as the day 1 starter.

Round 3, Pick 66: LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh

Everybody mocking Sonny Styles to the Titans in the first round have one thing right at least: this team needs another linebacker, badly. I think they need a strong Will LB to be specific, and Robert Saleh has spent his entire career maximizing LB prospects in this exact draft range in his defense. Louis makes way too much sense to add to this unit alongside Cedric Gray.

Round 4, Pick 101: CB Julian Neal, Arkansas

I will continue to hammer this point: just because the Titans added a duo of expensive starting cornerbacks in free agency doesn’t mean this room is even close to complete. They need depth, and they need youth that has more than a 2ish year horizon on this roster. Neal would be exactly that to kick off Day 3 of the draft. He could be a legit starter by the end of his rookie year.

Round 5, Pick 142: OT Travis Burke, Memphis

Burke was one of the Titans 30 visits this spring. Every OL guru I speak to is super intrigued by this raw talent out of Memphis. His stock has risen from obscurity to a potential high-Day 3 pick with how many teams have sniffed around on him. The Titans have spent too much time on developmental tackles to not prioritize on Saturday.

Round 5, Pick 144: TE Marlin Klein, Michigan

This draft is very rich in TE value in this range. I think the Titans could add one to backfill the void left by Chig Okonkwo to complement Gunnar Helm. The name they add could feel pretty random, because there are so many of these guys here. NC State TE Justin Joly was one of the final visit reports, for example. Sure! Why not. Klein is the 158th player on the consensus board, he’s a raw talent who has a lot of football refinement ahead of him, but his straight-line speed and blocking willingness make him worth a swing.

Round 6, Pick 184: LB Justin Jefferson, Alabama

Jefferson was another 30 visit for this team, and this is the range of the draft where I think we’re really going to struggle to find rosterable players in. This class will struggle at the end of Day 3 to make final rosters in August, and special teams upside will be the ticket for most of them. Jefferson joins a thin room and Saleh will work to develop him into a useful defender.

Round 6, Pick 194: DL Jordan van den Berg, Georgia Tech

Another 30 visit here! van den Berg is an elite athlete who simply needs refinement. I think the Titans will look to add developmental depth behind their top-line starters in the DL room.

Round 7, Pick 225: C James Brockermeyer, Miami

Cam Ward breaks into the draft room in the 11th hour and take a Miami alum. Brockermeyer is somebody the Titans have visited with, and provides additional competition at center this summer.
