Round 7
Pick No. 224: Trevon Hill | EDGE | Miami
The need for an EDGE has taken a back seat somewhat after the signing of Vic Beasley and the re-signing of Kamalei Correa. Along with Harold Landry, D’Andre Walker, Derick Roberson and Reggie Gilbert, the Titans have an impressive outside linebacker group as is.
Adding a developmental prospect like Hill late in the draft wouldn’t be a bad idea, though. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound EDGE thrives against the run, but needs work to develop as a pass-rusher. Adding some weight to his frame would also be wise.
Pick No. 237: Jon Runyan | OT | Michigan
With Dennis Kelly signed for the next three years, the Titans have some time to find the long-term solution at right tackle. They can start that process by taking a guy like Runyan late in the draft to see if he’ll develop into a starter.
The 6-foot-5, 321-pound Michigan product played at both left and right tackle during his college career, but predominantly at left. At worst, he could serve as the swing tackle of the future with Kelly moving to starter.
Pick No. 243: Rodrigo Blankenship | K | Georgia
Do we even need to explain why the Titans need as many options at kicker as possible? OK, let’s re-hash it one more time.
Tennessee was a league-worst 8-for-18 on field goal attempts last season, and Ryan Succop, who was a major cause of that mess, is no longer with the team.
Greg Joseph made his only field goal attempt last season, but he still has more to prove and general manager Jon Robinson has made it clear he will have competition.
What better competition to have than the best kicker in this year’s draft in Blankenship?
