Titans go guard, EDGE in Touchdown Wire’s 3-round mock draft

The latest 2022 NFL mock draft from Touchdown Wire has the Tennessee Titans taking a guard and edge rusher with their first two picks.

In the first round of the latest mock draft from Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield, the Titans take Boston College guard, Zion Johnson, who is among my favorite interior offensive linemen in this draft.

Johnson would be a great long-term solution at left guard with Rodger Saffold gone, and he could contribute right away, which is important for a win-now team like the Titans that has a major question mark at the position.

As for Tennessee’s third-round pick (the Titans don’t have a second-round pick thanks to the Julio Jones trade), Schofield’s selection is less than ideal, as he pegs Cincinnati pass-rusher Myjai Sanders to the Titans.

This is not a knock on Sanders, but the Titans should not make this pick when the team has much bigger needs at wide receiver, tight end, and offensive tackle.

In fact, it wouldn’t be at all surprising if the Titans forego taking an EDGE completely, with the team having Bud Dupree, Harold Landry, Ola Adeniyi and 2021 fourth-round pick Rashad Weaver on the roster.

If the Titans are smart, this will be an offense-heavy draft that attacks most, if not all of the aforementioned positions before even thinking about taking a player for a defense is young, very good, and mostly set for 2022.
