It's no secret that offensive tackle remains a need for the Tennessee Titans ahead of the NFL Draft.
They added OT Andre Dillard on a deal that projects him to be the starter, but the other spot is still cloudy.
Tennessee may have belief in Nicholas Petit-Friere, but that shouldn't stop them from drafting a premier OT in the first round if possible. NPF has the ability to play inside as well, and the Titans need more talent there, too.
If Georgia's Broderick Jones is on the board at pick 11, Tennessee may have some interest, according tot he latest reports. The Titans are hosting Jones for a pre-draft visit.
Jones is a scheme fit for the offense that the Titans will run as long as Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry stick around.
Wide receiver is another option in the first round for the Titans, so it will be interesting to see what they choose to do if a player like Jones is available, too.
Jones redshirted his first season with the Bulldogs, playing in two games as a reserve. Jones played behind Jamaree Salyer at left tackle for the first 11 games of Georgia's nation title-winning season in 2021 but started at left tackle in the final four contests to help the team hoist the trophy, earning a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team for his efforts. He started all 15 games at left tackle for Georgia in 2022, helping the team win back-to-back titles. — by Chad Reuter
Jones provides requisite size and strength for an NFL OT.
The former Georgia Bulldog is an impressive athlete with great moving skills along the OL. He is also arguably the most NFL-ready in this year's class outside of Peter Skoronski from Northwestern.
Don't be surprised if more discussion around Jones and the Titans occurs over the next few weeks.
