The Tennessee Titans select a dynamic running back in Peter Schrager's first mock draft for ESPN.

With the NFL draft in a little over two weeks, media outlets continue to produce mocks in their attempts to predict what will take place, with some being closer to reality than others. However, there is one analyst, Pete Schrager, who appears to be more dialed in than many other analysts, and his hit rate on mocks is tremendous. Just last season, he nailed some surprises, including the New York Giants trading back into the first round to grab Jaxson Dart, and the Dallas Cowboys' surprising pick of Tyler Booker.

Schrager only does two mocks ahead of the draft, and released his first one on Tuesday, giving the Titans an explosive playmaker. Pick 4: Tennessee Titans - Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame I interviewed Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi for "The Schrager Hour" in March, and he made pointed statements about Robert Saleh's previous teams always having "waves" of pass rushers. That might suggest Tennessee could think about Bailey or Reese if they are still on the board, or perhaps even Miami's Rueben Bain Jr.

But I just don't think the Titans will pass on Love. This is a dynamic player who can do it all. He ran for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns last season.

Love may be the top prospect in this class, and would make some sense in adding a dynamic playmaker to the offense. Yes, it comes with some questions about traditional position value, and would be somewhat of an outlier in today’s NFL, but the Titans need stars, and Love has that type of potential. While defense, specifically edge, wouldn’t be a surprise, Love to the Titans continues to build momentum as the draft approaches.
