Five possible picks for the Titans at No. 15:
Moving down from No. 1 to No. 15 is a net loss for the Titans. Some evaluators rate only eight or nine prospects at a first-round value.
But while the Titans’ win is a collection of picks in the top 76, what will they do at 15?
Here are five options:
1. OT Jack Conklin, Michigan State
The product of a pro-style offense, Conklin can step into Mike Mularkey’s offense at left tackle immediately. Conklin’s length, strength and tenacious, aggressive play projects well on the right side.
2. OT Taylor Decker, Ohio State
At 6-7, 310, Decker is light on his feet but 28 of his 42 career starts were at left tackle. He’s a physical drive blocker and has the right coaching staff in place to make the move to right tackle.
3. NT A’Shawn Robinson, Alabama
With Dick LeBeau in his ear and fond memories of roster-building in New England — think Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour — GM Jon Robinson won’t be shy about drafting a big body on the defensive line. Robinson (6-4, 307) the length, strength and experience in a two-gap scheme to help at multiple positions.
4. CB Eli Apple, Ohio State
Only a two-year starter, Apple has all the tools to be an elite cornerback. Apple has natural coverage skills, including the fluidity and quick hands to make plays on the ball.
5. RB Derrick Henry, Alabama
If the Titans have designs of building an offense similar to the glory days teams coached by Jeff Fisher, they need to find their Eddie George. Enter Henry, a bulldozer built like a defensive end. The Titans have a collection of replacement-level backs (Andrews, Sankey, Cobb), none proven as an every-down option.
