Tennessee Titans 3 round 2017 NFL Mock Draft

The Tennessee Titans don’t have a lot to look at and say “wow” and I think that is a major problem with this franchise.

While that may have sounded like nonsense hear me out. This team has no one that pops off the screen. The Titans have some great foundational pieces I mean, think about:

Marcus Mariota

Jurrell Casey

Brian Orakpo

Derrick Morgan

Jason McCourty

DeMarco Murray

Derrick Henry

Taylor Lewan

Jack Conklin

Delanie Walker

I mean all of those players are legit above average starters in the NFL and some boarder on great at times. However, the Titans need more pop. None of those players really play at a position or in a way where they threaten to take over a game on a week-to-week basis.

While that can’t be fixed in the middle of the season, the Titans have four draft picks in the top three rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft including two in the first round. That should give them a chance to really add some true dynamic players to the team.

As great as offensive tackles are (and ours are actually great) it is time to stop looking at the foundation and start adding some flashy players to this team.

So using the Fanspeak site, I made a three-round mock draft and here is how I made this team better.

1st round pick 4: Myles Garrett EDGE, Texas A&M

The Titans get maybe the biggest splash player in the last few draft classes here. Thanks to a run on quarterbacks early, the Titans get the best player in the draft and have a pass rush 4 players deep.

If you want to stop teams from passing on you, you have two options. Either go out and get a great corner or several very good corners, or get someone that can get to the quarterback. The Titans do the latter here.

1st round pick 16: Reuben Foster LB, Alabama

With all the top cornerbacks off the board, this was a harder pick than I expected. However, after looking over to see who was left, Foster made this MUCH easier.

Foster is a dynamic off the ball linebacker who pairs perfectly with Avery Williamson. While Williamson is a strong defender that I would trust against any fullback or running back in the hole, the Titans need something different too.

With this draft pick, they get someone who can go sideline to sideline at full speed and who comes screaming in to take someone’s head off. After being a 5-star prospect who was forced to become the leader of a very good special teams group, he has really added a lot of toughness to his game and he is going to be a nightmare for teams in the NFL.

3rd round pick 68: Ryan Switzer WR, North Carolina

If you don’t know this name, go look him up. He is what Belichick dreams off in wide receivers, he is a dynamic route runner who seems to explode out of his solid routes. He constantly gets Julian Edelman comparisons and while all white wide receivers aren’t Edelman, this one is.

He can be used on sweeps, as a return man, in the slot, or out of the backfield. His closest comparison is probably what Christian McCaffrey would have been if he played wide receiver and wasn’t quiet as tall or big.

3rd round pick 80: Cam Sutton CB, Tennessee

Sutton has legit #1 CB potential despite people consistently knocking his athleticism. Those people also seem to forget that he had the highest average punt return yards of any return man last year, including two touchdowns.

The only reason that he is going so late is because an ankle injury is going to cause him to miss the rest of the season which is tough for a senior CB in this draft class.
