The Tennessee Titans are set to meet with Texas A&M offensive lineman Kenyon Green in a pre-draft visit, according to Pro Football Focus’ Ari Meirov.
The Titans have two obvious needs along the offensive line after letting go of their starting left guard and right tackle from last season, Rodger Saffold and David Quessenberry.
The three current options to fill those roles are Dillon Radunz, Aaron Brewer and Jamarco Jones. Brewer and Jones are set to compete for the left guard job, while Radunz could factor in at either spot.
The issue is all three have limited to no starting experience, making them total wild cards for an offensive line that desperately needs to improve its pass protection.
Granted, drafting an offensive lineman in Round 1 won’t guarantee an immediate solution, but it does give Tennessee more options.
Sources: Texas A&M All-American OL Kenyon Green, who made starts at every single offensive line position except center this past season, is with the #Cowboys today.
Also on his schedule: Giants, Eagles, Titans, Texans, Falcons, Bears and Patriots.
Busy.

Green could be an option for the Titans at No. 26 overall.
The Texas A&M product played every position but center for the Aggies this past season, so the Titans could plug him in at left guard or right tackle. However, most project him to land on the interior.
Adding to that, he’s strong as both a pass protector and run-blocker, as The Draft Network writes:
Green is an experienced starter that has played multiple positions along the offensive line—every position but center. Green has natural functional strength that he uses to become a true road grader in the run game. Offensive coordinators will find it beneficial to call run plays that follow behind Green’s path. As a pass protector, Green possesses quickness that he uses to mirror defenders and become a dominant interior pass protector. Green is a versatile offensive lineman that has amassed a ton of experience throughout his career. Green has the athleticism and physical temperament to become an instant starter and a future All-Pro offensive lineman.
The Titans are likely to go one of two ways with their first-round pick: wide receiver or offensive line.
The most ideal first-round options at wide receiver include Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks and Drake London.
If none of those five are available, an offensive lineman should be the pick, with guys like Bernhard Raimann, Zion Johnson and Green being the most realistic to fall to this spot. Trevor Penning is another possibility, but he figures to go before the Titans are on the clock at No. 26.
