Tennessee Titans: NFL Mock Draft Media Consensus Vol. 3
During mock draft season, there are hundreds of different outlets that publish projections. Here’s some of the most notable mocks out there.
If you’re like me, then you love mock drafts. If you love mock drafts, then you love this time of year. If you love mocks, the draft, and this time of year, then you’re in great hands because there is no shortage of draft projections out on the internet. With the Tennessee Titans having two first round picks, this year is a mock lover’s dream.

Pick No. 5: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida
Pick No. 18: Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU
Hate might be a strong word, but I’d loathe if this is how the Titans first round played out. I’m all for improving the secondary, and this is surely the draft to do that. Taking Tabor at No. 5 is a gamble that’s not worth the risk. Tabor is an aggressive playmaker, but his aggressiveness gets him in trouble. He might not even be a better prospect than his fellow teammate, Quincy Wilson. Are you really going to take that guy at No. 5? White at No. 18 is fair, but this draft is so deep at cornerback that doubling down in the first round doesn’t make sense to me.

Pick No. 5: Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Pick No. 18: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
Now this is how you double dip in the first round on secondary players. First, you draft a game-changing back-end safety that can cover anyone and fly like a missile in the run game. Second, you pick a big, long cornerback with the potential to quickly develop into a shutdown guy. Take notes, PFF.

Pick No. 5: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Pick No. 18: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
We’ve seen these two picks stacked together before, although this time it’s in reverse order. While I’m not entirely fond of Williams as the primetime, bonafide stud receiver that many have made him out to be, he can be a No. 1 guy for a team. At pick 18, he’s certainly worth drafting (if Davis is gone). Lattimore is arguably CB1 in a stacked class. If the Titans decide to go CB at No. 5, he has to be the pick.

Pick No. 5: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Pick No. 18: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
This is my preferred outcome of the first round, if there’s no trade down. Draft Davis at No. 5 and then pick the highest rated cornerback on the board at No. 18. That way, you add a No. 1 wide receiver and a No. 1 cornerback for the 2017 season and for the future.

Pick No. 5: Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Pick No. 18: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
I thought the Adams to Tennessee hype had kind of died down, but it appears I was wrong. He’s still being mocked there rather frequently. I love Adams, but I’ve soured a bit on taking him at No. 5 because, pretty much, I want Corey Davis at No. 5. But I wouldn’t mind at all if Adams is the pick there. I’ve also soured on Howard at No. 18. There’s still a lot of questions surrounding his game, though he quelled some of those concerns with a fantastic showing at the Senior Bowl. At No. 18, he’s still worth that risk.
Third round picks: Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee/Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma
Fourth round pick: Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
Walter had mock picks through the fourth round, and he has the Titans picking up some serious talent in the third and fourth rounds. Tankersley has been shooting up drafts boards, so don’t expect him to be there in the fourth. Sutton and Westbrook in the third would be great picks, giving the Titans two dynamic players at two positions where explosiveness has been missing.
