Tennessee Titans 2019 NFL Mock Draft: Day 3 picks and a trade
By Will Lomas
The final day of the 2019 NFL Draft is here and the Tennessee Titans have plenty of moves to make.
The Tennessee Titans have three selections to make today, but I suspect there could be more by the end of the day.
Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson loves trades, and since entering the NFL I believe that he has been one of the most active GMs in the league. So, this 2019 NFL Mock Draft is going to start off with a trade and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more than that today.
Diving right in, let’s see what I believe that Robinson will pull of for his next trick.
Round 4, pick 121: TRADE Kyle Rudolph TE, Minnesota Vikings and a 6th (204)
The rumors are that the Vikings are looking to unload some expensive players:

They’ve gotten calls on TE Kyle Rudolph and CBs Xavier Rhodes and Trey Waynes. Stay tuned.
Let’s connect some threads. The Tennessee Titans have Delanie Walker, but the TE2 in this offense is supposed to be Jonnu Smith who is recovering from an ACL injury. Typically those injuries take two years to fully recover from and Tennessee could use some depth.
If we expect Smith to start the season on PUP, then why not make a move for Rudolph? The Vikings get to unload cap and new Titans TE coach Todd Downing gets a player he is very familiar with, having coached Rudolph last year.
The Titans always want late picks back in trades so the Vikings could offer one of their three 7th round picks or one of their four 6th round picks.

Round 5, pick 157: Derrick Roberson EDGE, Sam Houston State
I am going to assume that the following names didn’t make it to this pick: Maxx Crosby, D’Andre Walker, Anthony Nelson, Joe Jackson, and Hakeem Butler. If so, then take the best available from that group.
The Titans have filled every need in this draft so now it is time to look at depth and special teams. I believe that Roberson is a guy that many in the NFL like even though most fans haven’t heard of him.
A 4-star EDGE coming out of high school, he left Texas for Sam Houston State after his redshirt freshman year and it took him a while to put it all together. However, last year he had 15 sacks and is lauded for his effort and speed on the outside. Sounds like a solid bet as a developmental guy.

Round 6, pick 188: Jimmy Moreland CB, James Madison
Again, special teams is the name of the game here. With Logan Ryan playing at a high level there isn’t a path for Moreland to see the field early on defense, but he could be a good developmental DB that pushes for time later in his career and provides valuable depth.
Round 6, pick 204: John Lovett Everything, Princeton
This is a very New England Patriots pick. Lovett was a QB/RB/ST player in college doing a little bit of everything and he earned the attention of Jon Robinson and the Titans this draft season.
Think Joe Webb as a comparison. It would give the Titans a 3rd QB to keep active on the gameday roster because he could add depth and special teams value and these picks are all about finding guys who can do a lot of things for you so that you can keep specialized players active on Sundays.
