Middle Of The Road (And Draft)

In the fourth round with the 124th pick in the draft, the Titans select tight end Jonnu Smith of Florida International. At 6-3, 248 pounds, Smith ran a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s a down the seam threat. He’ll need to improve as a blocker, but his speed down the middle is enticing.

Also considered: Corn Elder, CB – Miami; Rasul Douglas, CB – West Virginia

Heading into the fifth round, the Titans select Wisconsin outside linebacker Vince Biegel with the 164th overall pick. He’s a little undersized and needs to get stronger, but Biegel’s a football player. He’ll star right away on special teams before heading onto a long NFL career, possibly working his way into the starting lineup down the road.

Also considered: Dawuane Smoot, OLB – Illinois; Ben Brayden, OL – Michigan

Two More To Go

In Round 6, with the 214th selection, the Titans select quarterback Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee. It’s never a bad thing to have a young quarterback in the system and Dobbs has a lot of the intangibles you look for in a developmental QB. He needs to get better with his mechanics. But he’s got a similar skill set to starter Marcus Mariota, without the polish.

Also considered: Jeremy Cutrer, CB – Middle Tennessee; Chase Roullier, C – Wyoming

Next: One Remaining Free Agent Each Team Should Target

Finally, in the seventh round, with the 236th selection, the Titans select Darrell Williams Jr., an offensive lineman with versatility out of Western Kentucky. Teams have begun to warm on Williams after seeing him while checking out talented teammate Forrest Lamp. Williams is a developmental swing lineman, which is what you’re looking for at this point in the draft.

Also considered: DeAngelo Yancey, WR – Purdue; Mason Zandi, OT – South Carolina
