2023 NFL Draft: Post-NFL Scouting Combine full two-round mock
By Brad Weiss
The Tennessee Titans have a big decision to make this offseason in terms of the quarterback position, as word is they may move on from Ryan Tannehill. That would make Malik Willis the starter in Week 1 next season, and if that is the case, they need to do everything they can to bolster the offensive line in front of him.
Looking at the offensive tackles in this draft class, Paris Johnson Jr. from Ohio State stands out above the rest. Johnson would be a plug-and-play starter for the Titans, who recently released former Pro Bowl player Taylor Lewan, starting a new era for the franchise at the left tackle position.
The Houston Texans are a team with significant draft capital this April, and the new regime has to make sure they capitalize on it. Houston holds not only their No. 2 overall pick but also the No. 12 selection in the first round, thanks to the trade they made with the Cleveland Browns for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
With this pick, Houston adds a weapon to the wide receiver room, bringing in TCU star Quentin Johnston to be Bryce Young’s No. 1 target in the passing game. Houston is moving on from Brandin Cooks this offseason, and Johnston slides right in to be the team’s new WR1 as a rookie.
