A look at which players the Titans could take in the NFL Draft

The big picture: Since moving to Nashville, the Titans have never selected a player first overall.

The intrigue: NFL experts try to predict how the draft will unfold by publishing mock drafts.

Here's a roundup of recent mock drafts showing who the Titans could select.

Nick Suss, the Titans beat reporter for the Tennessean, had the team trade down to the third overall pick in the draft and select Colorado's Travis Hunter.

• Draft experts are enthusiastic about Hunter, who won the Heisman trophy, because he excelled on offense and defense in college.
• "It behooves the Titans to lean into his talents as a receiver primarily given the team's depth at cornerback. But don't be surprised if the Titans find ways to use him on offense, defense and in the return games," according to Suss.

The Athletic's college football reporters conducted a mock draft, which had the Titans taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward.

• "An elite quarterback can singlehandedly change the trajectory of a franchise," reporter David Ubben says. "Ward is the best bet in this draft to become one."

NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks, who is a former professional scout, predicts the Titans will select Penn State edge Abdul Carter.

• "If the Titans solve their quarterback issue in free agency, they could take the best pass rusher in the draft to help them neutralize the high-powered offenses in the AFC," Brooks says.

What's next: NFL free agency begins March 10 when the Titans can begin negotiating with players from other teams. The draft takes place April 24-26 in Green Bay.
