As the 2024 NFL Draft nears, our seven-round team mock draft series continues with the Tennessee Titans.
Round 1, Pick 7: T Joe Alt, Notre Dame
Alt is an easy first-round offensive lineman on film, bringing a high football IQ at just 21 years old. He started as a true freshman at Notre Dame, playing more than 2,200 snaps in his three-year career. Despite being 6-foot-8, he has good flexibility to get in a three-point stance in run blocking and maintain good drive and leverage off the snap. His footwork is so quick for a player of his size, and his balance and core strength stand out. He is effective in both gap- and zone-blocking schemes. His only true weaknesses come from overextending his arms and getting off balance to dictate contact, and a lack of density when absorbing bull rushes.
Round 2, Pick 38: EDGE Adisa Isaac, Penn State
Isaac is a very solid edge prospect. First and foremost, he is a stout run defender, even at a low weight. His hand placement and leverage are consistent and effective when holding the line of scrimmage, which allows him to rip off blocks to make tackles after setting the edge. His hands are also active when rushing the passer. He loves the club-rip move, and he uses it consistently to turn the corner and get around blockers quickly. My biggest issue with him stems from concerns about his strength due to his lower weight. His burst and pursuit speed aren’t elite, but they are good enough for the next level.
Round 4, Pick 106: DI Michael Hall Jr., Ohio State
At 6-foot-2, Hall is not long enough to be a 3-4/4-3 defensive end. And at 280 pounds, he’s not big enough to be a full-time defensive tackle. However, his play is quite productive. At his lower weight, speed and quickness are his calling cards. He loves to get across an offensive lineman’s face to shoot a gap and get into the backfield. He does this either with a fast club-arm over or by setting his blockers up with a Euro step before making a move. As a run defender, he is strong for his size, especially when he maintains a lower leverage. But inconsistent — too wide or too low — hand placement negates that, at times.
Round 5, Pick 146: WR Isaiah Williams, Illinois
Williams’ scouting report starts with his devastating quickness. He is explosive and controlled in his movements, especially in his releases off the line of scrimmage. He can also change up his release speed to put cornerbacks in tough spots. His explosiveness allows him to create separation without contact and even through contact. He has great body control to make tough adjustments for catches. Williams’ lack of size affects both his blocking and tackle-breaking potential, and his shorter arms and smaller hands limit his catch radius.
