NFL Mock Draft: Post-Divisional Round shakeups

35. <p>This isn’t the sexy pick, but if you are the Titans, you want to protect Marcus Mariota at all costs. Mariota appears to be a franchise quarterback who can be here and be the linchpin for the next 12 or 15 years. With Taylor Lewan, previously a first-round pick on one side, Laremy Tunsil came come in and provide stability on the other side.</p> <p>Frankly, who else are the Titans going to take here? Maybe Joey Bosa comes off the tongue of some analysts, but does he really make as much of a difference as Tunsil would for Tennessee? At this point, the Titans have no identity and without a quality offensive line, it will be very hard to develop one.</p> <p>If they could, Tennessee would probably like to trade down and perhaps get an elite wide receiver to pair with Dorial Green-Beckham. That said, most teams will probably stand pat at the top of the draft, with the board being fairly balanced between skill players and linemen. The Titans need to build upon the offense and let defensive coordinator and Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau worry about coaching up a defense with some talent already in place.</p> <p>At this juncture, it is all about getting out of the AFC South basement and building up one side of the ball.</p>. OT. Ole Miss. Laremy Tunsil. 1. player
