ESPN lists percentage chances for possible Titans first-round picks

When the offseason began, draft experts routinely had the Tennessee Titans drafting a left tackle with their first-round pick, but things have since changed.

Now, with the Titans signing Andre Dillard to presumably play left tackle, their options are wide open at No. 11 overall, and the team is reportedly considering multiple positions.

Tennessee’s biggest position of need by far right now is wide receiver, where the team has been quiet outside of re-signing Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

However, the tricky part there is that the receiver class is a bit shaky this year and the Titans might not feel any of them are worthy of such a high selection.

With the draft drawing near, ESPN released its “Draft Day Predictor” and listed the percentage chances of the Titans drafting certain players in their first-round spot. Here’s a look at what the outlet came up with.

1. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State: ≈16%

2. OT Peter Skoronski, Northwestern: ≈14%

3. OT Paris Johnson Jr.: ≈12%

4. EDGE Nolan Smith, Georgia: ≈11%
