2018 NFL Mock Draft: 10 Big trades create mass chaos
By Dan Parzych
35. <p style=. Tight End. South Carolina. Hayden Hurst. 32. player
Unlike some of the other teams with high expectations heading into last season that ended up falling short of reaching the playoffs, the Tennessee Titans were one of the teams that actually lived up to the hype after earning a Wild Card spot. In fact, the Titans even shocked the football world by upsetting the Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Patriots in the Divisional Round, but at leas they can use this as a losing experience.
Now that Tennessee has this playoff experience under their belt, it’s up to them to prove they weren’t jut a one-hit wonder, and have what it takes to remain serious contenders in the AFC. Luckily, the Titans have already been quite busy this offseason led by the signing of Malcolm Butler, and if they manage to provide Marcus Mariota with another weapon to work with on offense during the draft, it’s only going to increase their chances to make a Super Bowl run.

As great as Delanie Walker has been over the years, Tennessee can always benefit from another effective tight end like Hayden Hurst. The South Carolina tight end has proven to be a reliable catcher over the years, and the presence of Hurst could even help Mariota reach another level at quarterback on this offense with a ton of potential.
