35. <p>The Titans are probably taking Laremy Tunsil.</p> <p>We have projected Tennessee to snatch up the former Ole Miss tackle in every mock to this point, and that is easily the most common pick for the Titans when examining other mocks across the internet. In addition, the Titans are seen, at least by some, as a likely trade partner for a team looking at a quarterback, and even in that scenario, Tennessee would probably select an offensive tackle in whatever spot they eventually landed in the first round.</p> <p>With that on the table, we’re giving them Jalen Ramsey here. Not everything makes sense when it comes to the NFL Draft and whispers have begun that the Titans could go with a guy that could transform their secondary. Comparing Ramsey to Tunsil as prospects would be an interesting exercise, and seeing Ramsey as the better overall player wouldn’t be a stretch. Beyond that, Tennessee’s secondary was a disaster a year ago, and Ramsey has the measurables and versatility that many teams desire.</p> <p>It has to be couched with the fact that we are probing here, but the Titans ending up with a non-Tunsil option wouldn’t be <em>that</em> shocking and Ramsey is a guy that many teams are in love with at this stage of the process.</p>. DB. Florida State. Jalen Ramsey. 1. player
