The Tennessee Titans landed a solid haul in the final seven-round mock draft by Jordan Reid of ESPN.

The NFL draft is only two days away, and most outlets are releasing their final mocks before the big event on April 23. The Tennessee Titans enter the draft with some needs but also with a wide-open board, allowing them to look for impact players. While what they will do remains a mystery, ESPN analyst Jordan Reid took a shot at solving it in his final mock draft .

Day 1 - Thursday, April 23 Round 1, Pick 4: Tennessee Titans : David Bailey, Edge, Texas Tech The Titans have to choose between finding explosive playmakers for second-year QB Cam Ward or continuing to revamp their defensive front. We're going with Option B and projecting them to take the best pass rusher in the draft. Bailey's first step is lethal, which helped him to an FBS-high 14.

5 sacks and 23 tackles for loss last season. Tennessee already has All-Pro Jeffery Simmons and brought in John Franklin-Myers and Jermaine Johnson II this offseason, so adding Bailey could give the team a ferocious front four. Taking Bailey over Jeremiyah Love and Sonny Styles could happen, as information pointing in all directions has popped up over the past few days.

Any of those three prospects could come in and make an impact, but Bailey comes at a position that is arguably their biggest need. Day 2 - Friday, April 24 Round 2, Pick 35: Tennessee TitansDenzel Boston, WR, Washington Boston is a big, physical outside receiver who aggressively attacks passes out of the air. He has excellent hand-eye coordination to haul in downfield passes and would give Cam Ward another reliable perimeter target.
