The Tennessee Titans currently have major roster holes at center and right guard. The team has not re-signed starting guard Kevin Zeitler, nor have they added an adequate replacement. At offensive tackle, the team seemingly downgraded their reserve options by signing Austin Deculus to backup JC Latham and Dan Moore Jr.
General manager Mike Borgonzi signed veteran guard Cordell Volson to be a backup. Undrafted free agent Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson is another option at swing tackle. The Titans' offensive line remains in flux at this point of the offseason.
The Titans appear slated to enter the NFL Draft with multiple needs across the offensive line's starting lineup, and at backup spots as well. Recently, the Titans have shown interest in a pair of late-round NFL Draft gems who may address their holes at depth offensive linemen.
Titans showing NFL Draft interest in 2 offensive linemen
Travis Burke, OT, Memphis
The Titans plan to host Memphis offensive tackle Travis Burke on a pre-draft visit, league sources recently confirmed to Titan Sized. Burke started 11 games for the Tigers at right tackle this past season. The 6-foot-9, 325-pound towering prospect has 34.25-inch arms and 10 ⅛” hands.
Burke was at the NFL Combine. The Hollywood, Florida native leaped a 27-inch vertical and 8-foot-11 broad jump. Burke placed a bow on a really nice athletic showing with a 5.17 in the 40-yard dash. If drafted by the Titans, he'd compete with Crenshaw-Dickson and Deculus for the swing backup role.
Alex Harkey, OL, Oregon
Veteran NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline recently reported that the Titans showed significant interest in Oregon offensive lineman Alex Harkey during the Ducks' pro day. Harkey went through position drills after especially measuring in with 32.5-inch arms. Pauline claims teams view him as a versatile backup at both guard and tackle who could develop into a starter.
The Titans could certainly use a utility offensive linemen with that four-position capability. Harkey's arms are long enough to meet some thresholds for offensive tackles. Harkey is an experienced right tackle prospect, but perhaps the Titans see him as a potential solution to their current right guard conundrum.
