Tennessee Titans final 7-round 2017 NFL Mock Draft

My final 2017 NFL Mock Draft for the Tennessee Titans.

The Tennessee Titans are four pick away from being on the clock. In fact, in less than 12 hours we could already know who the two new Titans are.

I may do another mock draft after the first round depending on if the Titans can in fact land a 2nd round pick. In this mock draft, there aren’t going to be any trades.

This is just a straight up, 7-round 2017 NFL Mock Draft and who I would take at each position.

Since this most of you already know my thoughts on most of these players, I won’t give long drawn out explanations. This is also a little bit because I would bet money that the Tennessee Titans won’t even pick at both of these spots.

So, knowing that here is where I would go with the Tennessee Titans eight current draft picks.

1st round, pick 5: Marshon Lattimore CB, Ohio State

This is almost a no brainer to me. I don’t care what safety is available because, while they may be talented I don’t think you can justify taking a safety at 5 based on all historical data.

Wide receiver is a need, but there is only one wide receiver I would take in the first round if you combine medical and tape and that is Corey Davis. Even having said that, there are guys in the 3rd round that can help you out at WR that I do like.

Defensive line is going to be a no from me because in this system Jon Allen is almost a redundancy with Jurrell Casey and I don’t think I can take an EDGE this early who isn’t Myles Garrett.

That leaves tight end, quarterback, offensive line, running back, and inside linebacker. I don’t see the value for anyone right now at those last four positions, and there is no need for three of the last four.

O.J. Howard makes sense if the Tennessee Titans are going to be ultra conservative at 5, and I have gone back and forth on if any TE has ever been worth a top-5 pick.

Lattimore has some injury concerns, but his upside and tape this year just scream top-10 CB in the NFL soon rather than later. He has all the skills and mentality of Richard Sherman, but he is a better player in man coverage in my mind.

1st round, pick 18: Corey Davis WR, Western Michigan

My WR1. I think Davis is a top 5 player in this class and we all are just sleeping on him because he didn’t run a 40-yard dash.

If you watch the tape, it is easy to see a smooth wide receiver who can make an impact at every level of the defense, and can line up all over the field.

His routes are crisp and despite all the talk of drops, it doesn’t help that he is constantly going across the middle and dealing with double teams. Yea, you are going to drop some balls when you are getting hit in the face by a safety while a cornerback is holding you from behind.

He makes big plays with the ball in the air, he can set up defenders and make them miss, there really isn’t anything he can’t do. The issue is that he didn’t do it against top-caliber competition.

To some that screams gamble. To me that screams trust your scouts and get value.

3rd round, pick 83: Carlos Henderson WR, LT

I think Henderson is a borderline first round pick. If the Tennessee Titans want an explosive player then this is their guy in round 3 to really add some speed and talent to the wide receiver room.

Here is a snippet from my draft report on him:

“Henderson is fun to watch. At times, he reminds me of Percy Harvin as a threat you have to defend with the ball in his hand across the entire field and down the entire field. You really feel like no blade of grass is safe on the field when he has the ball.

If he was 6’2+ or ran a 4.3 it would be easy to put him right up there with any of the bigger name wide receivers in this class. However, the way it stands now you really worry about how his size and top-end speed even though they don’t look like evident problems in tape. “

So big play potential with measurables being the only concern.

3rd round, pick 100: Jake Butt TE, Michigan

Get a “developmental” tight end that can learn the intricacies of NFL blocking and how to play in the passing game. You don’t need a star to do that, you can treat him exactly how the 49ers treated Delanie Walker, but instead of letting him go to another team you can re-sign him and make him a star.

4th round, pick 124: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Tennessee

A leader on the football field who was one of the better linebackers in the nation last year. An injury cost him his draft stock, but JRM is one of the best sideline-to-sideline defenders in this draft and can be a leader and spark plug for the Tennessee Titans down the road.

5th round, pick 164: Devonte Fields EDGE, Louisville

Pass rushing depth with a ton of potential.

6th round, pick 214: Eric Saubert TE, Drake

Another TE for Mularkey, the heir apparent to the TE2 position Butt will fill in year 1.

7th round, pick 236: Ezra Robinson CB, MTSU

Athletic CB with decent ball production over the last two years, Robinson has connections with MTSU.
