Tennessee Titans Mock Draft: B/R Community Top 100 and 7-Round Results

The NFL draft will be here in less than a week, and the Tennessee Titans will have a chance to nab one of the most coveted prospects in the class with the second overall pick.

Despite a plethora of rumors about what they'll do with the pick (draft site WalterFootball.com even has a page dedicated entirely to rumors about what will happen with the second overall pick), I think the Titans will end up staying where they are and making the second selection.

In preparation for the draft, Bleacher Report got a group of writers together to do a mock of the first 100 picks with one writer for each team. Now in the actual draft, you can expect to see a lot of trades happen, but short of that, the community results ought to give an idea of what you can realistically expect in the first three rounds.

Here are the results of that mock, along with analysis for the Titans' picks, including the late-round selections after the first 100.

32	Patriots	Melvin Gordon	RB	Wisconsin

Pick No. 2: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

Although trade rumors have been flying, I think the most likely scenario for the Titans is that they just stay where they are and draft Marcus Mariota.

In today's NFL, you either have a quarterback or don't have a quarterback. Zach Mettenberger has shown some promise, but he's fallen short of proving himself to be a long-term solution at the position.

Add to that the fact that the consensus top player in the draft, USC's Leonard Williams, doesn't play at a big position of need, and I think the Titans pull the trigger on the Oregon quarterback.

Mariota may be a bit of a question mark in terms of his ability to play in a pro-style offense, but his resume as a college quarterback is fantastic, he looked great in drills at the combine and other teams seem to covet him.

Mariota may not be a "safe" pick, but I've always been of the opinion that there's no such thing as a safe pick anyway.

Pick No. 33: Jalen Collins, CB, LSU

Traditionally, teams that grab a quarterback in the first round tend to follow that pick up with another offensive player to help him out. However, with the recent signings of Byron Bell and Hakeem Nicks, the Titans may not follow that tradition.

Besides, the last time the Titans front office drafted a quarterback (Jake Locker in 2011), they followed up with a defensive player (Akeem Ayers). So there's precedent for the team bucking the trend.

Jalen Collins could easily be a first-round pick; he comes with a fantastic combination of size (6'1", 203 lbs) and speed (4.48-second 40-yard dash) but lacks polish. Since the Titans already have Jason McCourty and signed Perrish Cox in the offseason, Collins won't start immediately, so he'll have time to develop.

Between Collins, Blidi Wreh-Wilson and Coty Sensabaugh, the Titans should have a solid rotation of corners behind their starting two. They'll need a good rotation to deal with Andrew Luck for the next decade.

 *First pick of Round 4.

Pick No. 66: Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M

Cedric Ogbuehi was in the running to be a first-round selection before a torn ACL dropped him out of consideration. By the beginning of Round 3, he's worth the risk.

The Titans have invested a lot in their offensive line, but so far, that investment hasn't paid off. Andy Levitre and Michael Oher were huge disappointments and Chance Warmack is only just now getting the hang of playing in the NFL.

But with Warmack improving, Taylor Lewan looking like a future Pro Bowler and Brian Schwenke returning from injury, the Titans are a right tackle away from having a solid line once again.

Ogbuehi played at guard, right tackle and left tackle in his time at Texas A&M, so regardless of whether he beats out Bell for the right tackle spot or replaces Levitre at left guard, he'll be a great fit for the Titans.

Round 4

Pick No. 100: Nick O'Leary, Florida State

Nick O'Leary's draft stock has gone down after a bad combine performance and a late-season injury. O'Leary ran a very slow 40-yard time of 4.93 seconds, but due to a hamstring injury that later caused him to miss Florida State's pro day, I don't know how accurate a measure of his speed that time really is.

A polished, reliable tight end would be a nice weapon to bring in with a new quarterback who might have trouble adjusting to the NFL—even if said tight end isn't the most athletic player in the draft.

On the field, O'Leary has been great; he won the John Mackey Award (the award for best tight end) in 2014. He caught 48 passes for 618 yards and six touchdowns on his way to the award. He's also a capable blocker and has soft hands, so he'd make a great complement to Delanie Walker.

O'Leary was also solid in 2013, when he caught 33 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns.

Round 5

Pick No. 138: Cody Prewitt, S, Mississippi

The Titans added Da'Norris Searcy, but they're still hurting at free safety, where Michael Griffin has been declining, so adding more developmental safeties would be a good idea.

Cody Prewitt was a highly projected safety prospect before a lackluster senior season. In 2013, he amassed six interceptions and 71 tackles, so despite soft play in his final year (he had 64 tackles and only three interceptions), Prewitt clearly has potential.

At the combine, Prewitt was less than impressive on the bench press (11 reps), and he clocked a pedestrian 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash. However, he was the top performer in both the 60-yard shuttle (11.44 seconds) and the broad jump (125 inches).

Prewitt has some problems, but at the least, he should be a solid contributor on special teams.

Round 6

Pick No. 177: Alani Fua, OLB, BYU

The Titans managed to re-sign Derrick Morgan and added Brian Orakpo, so pass rushing isn't a huge need anymore. That said, the Titans are still lacking depth at the position, so I expect them to spend a draft pick on a rush linebacker.

Alani Fua is light, weighing in at a mere 238 pounds, but he has a 6'5" frame and should be able to add some weight at the next level.

With his burst and ability to drop into coverage, he'd be a nice depth piece to add. The chances he'll be a regular contributor are slim to none, but reliable backups are all you can realistically look for in the draft's later rounds.

Pick No. 208: Hayes Pullard, ILB, USC

This is the pick the Titans received from the New England Patriots in exchange for Akeem Ayers.

Avery Williamson had a great rookie season at inside linebacker, but with Zach Brown returning from a season-long injury and Wesley Woodyard not playing at his best, it's still a position of need.

Hayes Pullard is your standard tackle-accumulating inside linebacker. He was a four-year starter at USC, and he showed some ability in pass coverage. He's fairly weak against the run and has difficulty shedding blocks, but he'd be a great locker room presence and would be a good value this late in the draft.

Pullard had 95 tackles, eight defended passes and an interception in his senior season.
