After the departure of Jack Conklin in free agency, the Tennessee Titans might be in the market for a right tackle in the 2020 NFL Draft.
As it stands now, Dennis Kelly will assume the role of starter, but it wouldn’t hurt for the Titans to add another tackle who can be developed into a starter in the next few years.
Here’s a look at the best option for the Titans in every round they have a pick, based on their draft position.
Round 1
Austin Jackson | USC
After the top four tackles are off the board (Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton, Tristan Wirfs and Jedrick Wills), the best options for Tennessee to take one will likely come in the form of either Austin Jackson, Isaiah Wilson or Josh Jones.
We’re rolling with 6-foot-5, 322-pound Jackson here. He shows the footwork necessary to handle elite pass-rushers, and he’s a good enough athlete to be a plus for the Titans in their zone-blocking scheme. He’ll have enough time to develop with Kelly in front of him, also.
Alternative: Josh Jones | Houston
