In his latest mock draft, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has the Tennessee Titans taking a player we haven’t seen mocked to them yet this offseason.
With the No. 26 overall pick in Jeremiah’s mock, the Titans select Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum. Here’s his take on the selection:
“Linderbaum is an athletic center with a mauling mentality in the run game,” Jeremiah wrote. “That’s an ideal blend for the Titans.”
As ideal a fit as Linderbaum would be, it remains to be seen if the Titans will even have a need at center in 2022.
While Ben Jones is a free agent, we expect him to be back. After all, he has been as reliable as they come in six seasons in Tennessee, and he was the team’s best offensive lineman in 2021.
If the veteran returns, the Titans would be wise to address a position of need with their first pick, like at wide receiver, guard, tackle, or even tight end. If Jones isn’t retained, center becomes the biggest need on offense, and in that case the 6-foot-3, 290-pound center would be a great pick.
