The NFL draft is only two days away, and most outlets are releasing their final mocks before the big event on April 23.The Tennessee Titans enter the draft with some needs but also with a wide-open board, allowing them to look for impact players. While what they will do remains a mystery, ESPN analyst Jordan Reid took a shot at solving it in his final mock draft.Day 1 - Thursday, April 23Round 1, Pick 4: Tennessee Titans: David Bailey, Edge, Texas TechThe Titans have to choose between finding explosive playmakers for second-year QB Cam Ward or continuing to revamp their defensive front. We're going with Option B and projecting them to take the best pass rusher in the draft.
Bailey's first step is lethal, which helped him to an FBS-high 14.5 sacks and 23 tackles for loss last season. Tennessee already has All-Pro Jeffery Simmons and brought in John Franklin-Myers and Jermaine Johnson II this offseason, so adding Bailey could give the team a ferocious front four.Taking Bailey over Jeremiyah Love and Sonny Styles could happen, as information pointing in all directions has popped up over the past few days. Any of those three prospects could come in and make an impact, but Bailey comes at a position that is arguably their biggest need.Day 2 - Friday, April 24Round 2, Pick 35: Tennessee TitansDenzel Boston, WR, WashingtonBoston is a big, physical outside receiver who aggressively attacks passes out of the air.
He has excellent hand-eye coordination to haul in downfield passes and would give Cam Ward another reliable perimeter target.Round 3, Pick 66: Tennessee Titans: Caleb Tiernan, OT/G, NorthwesternThe Titans got Ward, a pass-catcher, in Round 2; now it's time for some protection. Opinions are mixed on Tiernan's position at the next level, though.Boston has been rising on some draft boards, and it is a bit of a surprise that he was available in the second round to fill a need on the outside and give Cam Ward a red zone threat. Tiernan is an interesting pick and likely will be a better fit at guard in the NFL.
A college tackle, he could bring some position versatility while competing for the open right guard position. Experienced interior offensive linemen were still on the board, but the value appears to be there.Day 3 - Saturday, April 25Round 4, Pick 101: Tennessee Titans: Julian Neal, CB, ArkansasRound 5, Pick 142: Tennessee Titans (from NYJ via BAL): Justin Jefferson, LB, AlabamaRound 5, Pick 144: Tennessee Titans (reacquired from LAR): Febechi Nwaiwu, G, OklahomaRound 6. Pick 184: Tennessee Titans: J'Mari Taylor, RB, VirginiaRound 6, Pick 194: Tennessee Titans (from BAL via NYJ): TJ Hall, CB, IowaRound 7, Pick 225: Tennessee Titans (from KC via DAL): Matthew Hibner, TE, SMUBorgonzi used Day 3 to add some depth to key positions on the roster, including linebacker, cornerback, and offensive line.
The Titans had Jefferson in for a Top 30 visit, and he is likely on the radar, and Nwaiwu is center-capable and could be a sleeper.The most surprising pick of the day in this mock is likely Taylor. While he is a solid prospect, the team appears to be set at the top of the depth chart with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, has an unknown in Kale Mullings, and signed Michael Carter in free agency.This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Titans land playmakers, depth in final Jordan Reid 7-round mock draft
