Titans Wire 7-round mock draft: Tennessee continues to build foundation

The NFL draft is only 10 days away, and information continues to flow about what teams will do when the first round rolls around on April 23rd in Pittsburgh. Now it's time to look ahead at what the Tennessee Titans might do. The Titans have filled some needs, but still have some holes to address.

While there is a lot of chatter, nothing is certain, making this a great time for the fourth Titans Wire mock draft. We used the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator for this exercise and left all settings on their default values. We had no trades; we controlled only the Titans, and we projected a full seven rounds.

Here's how things played out: Round 1, Pick 4: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech Entering the draft, I had two players in mind, Bailey and Jeremiyah Love, and fortunately, Bailey was available. Even though the Titans added to their edge unit in free agency, a young and explosive edge to mix with Jeffery Simmons in Robert Saleh’s defense is a must. Lance Zierlein scouting report : Bailey is extremely hard for linemen to stay in front of.

He moves like a slashing two guard, blending explosiveness and fluidity to slip, bend, and flow around blocks from multiple angles. His leverage and lower-body flexion create game-over scenarios once he reaches pocket depth, even with a minor lead. He can be stalled when a blocker latches his hands in deep, but Bailey’s elusiveness and suddenness make clean clamps a relative rarity.
