What they’re saying

“Bailey is extremely hard for linemen to stay in front of. He moves like a slashing two guard, blending explosiveness and fluidity to slip, bend, and flow around blocks from multiple angles.”

— Lance Zierlein, NFL.com Analyst (NFL.com)

“Sadiq's athleticism and break quickness should allow him to uncover against man coverage on all three levels. He's talented after the catch, with the ability to make things easier for play-callers and quarterbacks looking to move the sticks.”

— Lance Zierlein, NFL.com Analyst (NFL.com)

“Johnson's coverage versatility, toughness, and athleticism should make him an early starter for a coverage-hungry team inside the 20.”

— Lance Zierlein, NFL.com Analyst (NFL.com)

What’s next

The Titans will continue to evaluate their roster and free agency needs before making their selections in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The takeaway

This Titans Wire mock draft highlights the team's focus on adding playmakers on both offense and defense through the draft. The selections of Bailey, Sadiq, and Johnson in particular address key needs and provide the Titans with young, talented players to build around for the future.
