Titans take another OL in PFN’s 2024 mock draft

Mock draft season is a highly polarizing time in which some fans enjoy the constant pre-draft discourse, while others find the whole thing pointless and a waste of time considering everyone’s opinion is essentially meaningless at the end of the day.

Therefore, you could imagine how the latter of those fans feel about mock drafts an entire year beforehand.

Despite not knowing how a potential prospect will perform in 2023, the draft order, or even who will be available, many still enjoy taking their shot in the dark.

Dalton Miller of Pro Football Network recently took his at predicting how next year’s first round play out, and he has the Titans picking Penn State offensive tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu with the No. 7 pick in the draft.

Miller goes on to explain his rationale below:

Andre Dillard might finally show us why he was a first-round pick in 2019, or he could show us why Jordan Mailata quickly proved the better option in Philadelphia. But even if Dillard plays well, the Tennessee Titans will likely still need to address right tackle, especially with their particular offensive attack.

Clearly, the Pro Football Network analyst doesn’t have too much faith in the Titans’ immediate future based where he projects them to pick from.

However, if this is how the Titans’ 2024 draft plays out, the possibility of pairing Fashanu with Peter Skoronski on the same offensive line could eventually place Tennessee back in the best offensive line conversation sooner rather than later.

With that said, you probably have a better likelihood of hitting the lottery than you do of predicting how the NFL draft will play out 10 months in advance.

Also, unless you’re banking on another injury-riddled season, it’s hard to envision a Mike Vrabel-led team finishing with a top-seven pick.

Nevertheless, only time will tell how all this plays out over the coming months.
