Another mock draft, another expert selecting an edge rusher for the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.
In his latest mock draft, Pro Football Focus’ Austin Gayle has the Titans taking Cincinnati edge rusher Myjai Sanders in the first round.
Here’s Gayle’s take on Sanders:
One of my favorite late first-round picks in 2022, Cincinnati edge defender Myjai Sanders will draw scouts in with his performance at the combine at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds. He recorded 40-plus pressures in back-to-back seasons (2020 and 2021) to close out his Bearcats career.
This is the second mock draft we’ve gone over recently that has the Titans taking an edge rusher in the first round. Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling had Tennessee doing the same, and his pick was Sanders, also.
The only problem with these picks is that the Titans are highly unlikely to take an EDGE this early in the draft, if at all.
Yes, Harold Landry is a free agent in 2022, but chances are the Titans will bring him back. Adding to Landry, Bud Dupree is under contract for four more years, and 2021 fourth-round pick, Rashad Weaver, should be back healthy for his sophomore campaign.
Should Landry unexpectedly leave in free agency, then we could definitely see the Titans targeting an EDGE in the early rounds. For now, such a selection doesn’t seem plausible.
