Who could be a fit for the Tennessee Titans in the biggest supplemental draft in a decade?

This may be the best time in history for NFL fans to pay close attention to the Supplemental NFL Draft.

Think about it, right now there are a handful of leagues playing games right now, but none of those leagues are in America. With a cloud cast over the immediate future of sports, who knows when we will see an NBA or NHL game again?

So, why not look towards one of the most exciting Supplemental NFL Draft classes in history. Why is it exciting?

Well, PFN’s Tony Pauline explained some of that hype by throwing around the names of important players to take note of as we go forward through this process.

The PAC-12 looks like it will be the conference with the most concerns about opening back up. As such, Pauline listed a handful of prospects that could be of interest including someone the Titans would love.

That player is Hamilcar Rashed and there is a great chance you have never his name before, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start learning it now.

More from Titan Sized

The Oregon State star led the PAC-12 in sacks last year with 14 ahead of Bradlee Anae who many believed was a steal on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft. With 14 sacks, he was also 4th best in the NCAA as a whole ahead of names like Zack Baun and A.J. Epenesa, and in just a year he completely dwarfed the CAREER total of K’Lavon Chaisson.

He wasn’t just a one-trick pony though, he led the entire NCAA in TFLs with a whopping 22.5.

To make an even stronger case, this isn’t even his only year of production. In 2018 he had 12.5 TFLs as a true sophomore which was good for top-8 in the PAC-12.

Pauline said this about Rashed:

"Like Sewell at Oregon, Rashed’s season at Oregon State could be in jeopardy this fall. And similar to Little, I’ve heard nothing specifically on Rashed potentially entering the supplemental draft. But Rashed’s name is one that keeps coming up in conversations as a player who would benefit from entering the supplemental draft.Rashed had a breakout season in 2019 totaling 22.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks but announced he would return for his senior season despite grading out as a potential third-round pick."

The Titans have only used their 4th round pick on a player in the NFL Draft once during Jon Robinson’s tenure. For whatever reason, he seems to think that trading the pick yields more value so maybe he would consider this a good way to get value for a pick that he has never really enjoyed using in the normal way anyway.

Admittedly, I haven’t watched Rashed aside from a handful of highlight videos but he looks like a player that Mike Vrabel would sign off on. Someone who has potential and gives clear effort, but whose development is already yielding results.

He wouldn’t be Jadeveon Clowney, but he could be another one of those versatile EDGEs like Harold Landry that this coaching staff and front office have enjoyed using over the last few years.
