Prospects the Titans Should Target in the NFL Draft: Blake Beddingfield

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, columnist

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans have many needs left to fill out their roster for the 2024 season.

The most glaring issue is at left tackle. There isn’t a starting-caliber left tackle currently on the roster and the Titans have forced themselves into taking one in the first round after neglecting to touch it at all in free agency. I discussed that in my recent mock draft.

But they do not have to select one with their seventh overall pick, because of the depth of tackles in the draft this year.

The temptation to select one of the premier players instead of tackle would be risky.

The Titans need to come out of the draft with a starting tackle, another wide receiver because their top two are 30 years old, a tight end, an outside pass rusher, multiple defensive linemen, an inside linebacker with run/coverage skills, a safety and a corner.  The problem is they only have two picks in the top three rounds and other selections will fill depth and not expected to start. They’ve only got seven picks overall.

First round: Must be an immediate starter and impactful player if selected seventh overall.
