2016 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Super Bowl Update
By Jon Dove
1. Tennessee Titans- Joey Bosa, Edge, Ohio State
This year’s Super Bowl was a prime example of how important generating pressure on the quarterback is to a team’s success. Ohio State’s Joey Bosa isn’t the same type of edge rusher as Von Miller, but he is an extremely disruptive player.
Bosa features a combination of quickness, length and power that allows him to work his way into the backfield. He does a great job using his hands to keep clean and shock-n-shed the blocker. This is a versatile defender capable of rushing the quarterback and holding up against the run.
The Tennessee Titans are in an interesting situation because they could go several different ways with the No. 1 pick. Bosa makes sense as someone who can come in and immediately help the overall play of the defense.
However, the best course of action might be to auction the pick off to the highest bidder. Several teams in the top-10 need a quarterback and could look to jump ahead of the Cleveland Browns who own the No. 2 pick.
Tennessee could also take Ole Miss’ Laremy Tunsil with the first pick and plug him in at left tackle. Tunsil is an elite pass blocker whose addition would allow Taylor Lewan to shift to right tackle and thus improving two spots on the line.
