OJ Howard — Tight End — Alabama

Delanie Walker isn’t getting any younger, and the Titans just lost Anthony Fasano to free agency.

Walker’s age, and the loss of Fasano combined with a “best player available”philosophy, make OJ Howard the perfect selection for the Titans at the 18th overall pick.

Howard is freakishly athletic, with an incredibly high ceiling. He has the potential to be a stud tight end in the NFL. If he’s still available when the 18th pick rolls around, there’s no way the Titans can pass on him.

The Titans could obviously go with a wide receiver here as well (I’m a big fan of Corey Davis, or John Ross if he falls), but the upside with Howard is too good not to take.
