The NFL Draft is picking right back up on Friday night with the second and this rounds, and it appears that the Tennessee Titans might be zeroing in on who they want. 

It was was productive first day of the NFL Draft for the Tennessee Titans as they seemed to just happen into drafting Marcus Mariota and making no big deal about it. Marietta fluctuated on draft boards and mock drafts all offseason long, but he ended up being one of the most nonchalant No. 2 overall picks in the history of quarterbacks going high in the draft.

But the Tennessee Titans may not be done crafting their offense of the future. Ken Whistenhunt went to a Super Bowl with the Arizona Cardinals by having a top quarterback and a star receiver in Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald — and he may be trying to form a tandem like that with Mariota.

According to Titans beat writer Terry McCormick, the Titans are looking at troubled wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham with the No. 33 overall pick in the draft, which would give Marcus Mariota a clear No. 1 target.

The Titans have Justin Hunter on roster as well, which seems to suggest that taking Dorial Green-Beckham could be used as his replacement. But complimenting the two with one another could be a good move for the future in Tennessee, especially with the young Mariota ready to grow in Whisenhunt’s system.

Whisenhunt went to the Super Bowl with a three headed offensive monster of Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. It’s a stretch to say that Mariota, Hunter and Green-Beckham would be in the same league as those three but it’s possible they could develop into that at some point.
