The Tennessee Titans have their eye on Auburn defensive lineman, Marlon Davidson.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo, the Titans have held a pre-draft FaceTime meeting with him.
#Auburn DL Marlon Davidson was able to get in a top 30 visit with the #Bears prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.
He's also held pre-draft meetings over FaceTime with the #Browns, #Titans & #Jaguars recently.

The Auburn product is at least the second prospect we’ve heard the Titans have met with over FaceTime. They did the same with Baylor wide receiver Denzel Mims, also.
General manager Jon Robinson made it clear during a conference call on Wednesday that the team has to get creative in how it prepares for the draft, and this is certainly one way to do it.

Davidson is an interesting prospect and one that should be around when the Titans are on the clock with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
While the 6-foot-3, 278-pound lineman started at defensive end for Auburn, he has the versatility to play both inside and out, which would help check a few boxes for what the Titans need.
Tennessee lost a big part of their defensive line this offseason by trading Jurrell Casey to the Denver Broncos, but have yet to fill that void.
Drafting Davidson would be a step in the right direction for sure, however it’s doubtful general manager Jon Robinson will simply leave replacing Casey up to the draft. I’d expect a move to be made in free agency first.
