35. . OT. Ole Miss. Laremy Tunsil. 1. player

The most consistent number one pick in mock drafts is Laremy Tunsil from Ole Miss.

He plays with a pro level of talent already and will be the man on Marcus Mariota’s blindside from day one.  When the team comes into camp, the question will be whether Taylor Lewan can successfully transition to the right side and odds are he can.

With two talented bookends in Tennessee, the Titans offense will have the foundation needed to become one of the best in the NFL.  Adding some weapons later in the draft and the continued development of wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will help this franchise get out of the top-5 of the NFL Draft in 2017.

While offensive tackles don’t necessarily bring highlight reel plays, they give the skill players the time and lanes needed in order for them to.  Every skilled position player in Tennessee will be happy to see this pick go down, and the highlight reels will benefit greatly.
