The Tennessee Titans had a disappointing end to  the 2018 NFL season, as they lost a home game in Week 17 to division rival Indianapolis with a berth in the playoffs at stake. The previous season, Tennessee shocked the football landscape by going into Kansas City and beating the Chiefs in the Wild Card round, though they ended up losing the following week to the New England Patriots.

Still, this is a team  that should be even better in 2019, and in a very tough AFC South, they should be able to hang in throughout the season. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has shown flashes of brilliance during his short NFL career, but the Titans brought in Ryan Tannehill this offseason as insurance as Mariota has a  tendency to miss games due to injury.

One of the reasons that Mariota has missed time is that he takes way too many hits, and the  Titans would be wise to use their 2019 first round pick on an offensive lineman. One player who really stands out in the interior of the offensive line is Chris Lindstrom from Boston College, who may be the best interior offensive lineman in this draft class.

Lindstrom would step right in and start for the Titans, who have already bolstered the interior of their offensive line by bringing in Rodger Saffold in free agency. The Titans are making a push to get back to the playoffs this offseason, and Lindstrom is a guy they could make a building block on this offensive line for years to come.
