ESPN predicts Titans’ likeliest second-round picks in NFL draft

Draft experts and media outlets routinely take a crack at who the Tennessee Titans might pick in the 2023 NFL draft via mock drafts, but ESPN is taking a different approach to making predictions.

The Worldwide Leader in Sports has a “Draft Day Predictor” that puts a percentage chance on prospects the Titans and every other team in the NFL might take with each of their selections in the upcoming draft.

We recently covered ESPN’s predictions for Tennessee’s No. 11 overall pick in the first round, so now we’re moving on to the team’s second-round pick, which comes at No. 41 overall.

This is a prime spot for the Titans to grab a wide receiver, a position that is shaky to target in the first round of this year’s draft thanks to a suspect class overall.

However, the list of potential Titans picks includes multiple positions. Here’s a look at what ESPN came up with.

OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma: ≈3.7%
