New Titans NFL Mock Draft Expert Roundup for 1st-Round Pick

It's another year when the Titans are picking in the top 10. With a new coaching staff moving with urgency following their significant free-agent spending, it feels like they are gearing up to make a huge splash in the draft.

Ahead of the first round of the draft on April 23, here's a look at what experts are projecting the Titans to do with the No. 4 overall pick:

Expert: B/R NFL Scouting Department (4/15)

Selection (No. 4): RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame

The Tennessee Titans have a choice here. Either they can draft an offensive focal point in Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love or land a defensive centerpiece in Ohio State's Sonny Styles.

In this case, Tennessee decides to build around last year's No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Cam Ward.

Love provides instant offense, with the ability to create a Saquon Barkley- or Bijan Robinson-like impact, hence why he's in consideration despite playing a non-premium position.

"The reigning Doak Walker Award winner is an elite running back and offensive weapon," B/R scout Damian Parson said. "He's an explosive, home run threat as a runner and a mismatch for linebackers flexed out as a receiving option. Love would take pressure off Ward's shoulders and give the Titans a blue-chip prospect."
