How Things Might Unfold for the Titans Drafting Best Player Available

By ZACH LYONS, Stacking the Inbox

Mock Drafts are a fun way to pass the time from near the regular season’s end to the night of the draft. Hell, you will even see mock drafts predicting Day Two on Friday morning and Day Three on Saturday morning, then on Monday we will have 2025 Mock Drafts. They’re inescapable and inevitable. We all secretly do them at least once a week, even if we don’t post them. It’s fun, addictive, and mindless. Are they useful and informative? 

Meh, the draft is pretty tough to nail down to a science. So, they rarely provide accuracy, take the 33rd Team’s mock draft last year. They only got five first-round picks matched exactly to the team that drafted the player and were way off on even team-to-position matches. One of those five was Bryce Young, so, yeah, even former GMs and decision-makers are inaccurate with their mocks.

There’s just too much of a human element to the entire draft process. Various teams have various needs, and players fall because we, the people, don’t have all the necessary information to make informed decisions. So, I wanted to do something different with my mock draft, even straying away from my first-round mock draft and multiversal mock draft I did at StackingTheInbox.com.

First, I want to talk about the argument for drafting best player available. Why a team like the Titans were in a good position to do so but failed to do it. A “What If…” scenario. Then take a trip to the consensus board and look at what a best player available draft could look like for the Titans. Finally, for my final 7-round mock draft, I am going to go through each pick but talk about what the Titans wish would happen, what the preferred scenario is, what the realistic scenario is and what I think the pick will be.

Something a little different than you get everywhere including my other content, maybe, just maybe, I bring something fresh to the table.
