15. player. 35. . Offensive Tackle. Ohio State. Taylor Decker

The last of what I believe to be the true left tackles in this draft, the Titans trade down from one, gain what seemed like 300 draft picks, and still get the man they need to keep Marcus Mariota upright and healthy. Decker was a pivotal part of the Buckeye’s successes in the run to become the first BCS College Football Playoff National Champion and will be the man to anchor an offensive line that, not only needs to protect Mariota, but now gets to unleash their nasty side when blocking for DeMarco Murray.

This offense is coming together for Tennessee. Yes, they need help at receiver but can address that with potentially another Buckeye in Braxton Miller with one of those second rounders they picked up. Protect your quarterback, open up holes in your run game, and go from there.
