Alt has been penciled in as the #7 pick in the mock drafts of most experts and analysts since the college season ended. He’s held that spot for so long on ESPN’s Field Yates’ mock draft that earlier this week, Yates recently joked on a conference call that, “I’ve been mocking them (Tennessee) with Joe Alt for so long that I’ve now convinced myself there’s a zero percent chance it actually happens, right?” (h/t John Glennon of The Nashville Post).

So what happens if Tennessee’s Plan A is off the board before the Titans have the chance to select him? Well, according to another ESPN Draft expert, the Titans Plan B could mean moving out of the 7th pick altogether if Alt isn’t there.

“Tennessee brought the big left tackle in for a pre-draft 30 visit and met with him at the combine,” per Matt Miller of ESPN. “Sometimes it’s easy to connect the dots, and this pick feels like a foregone conclusion as long as Alt is still on the board when the Titans pick. But what if he’s already gone? That’s where things get interesting. I’m told the Titans would consider trading back and perhaps targeting Penn State’s Olumuyiwa Fashanu or Taliese Fuaga.”

Fashanu and Fuaga, along with JC Latham, Tyler Guyton and Amarius Mims are the other offensive tackles that most draft experts see as 1st round prospects, so if the Titans were to potentially miss out on Alt and move off of the #7 pick, they would theoretically have a few bites at the apple to find their presumptive starting offensive tackle.

The Titans have already had a busy offseason under new head coach Brian Callahan, who comes to Tennessee after a five-year stint as the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, replacing Mike Vrabel, who led the Titans to three consecutive postseason appearances for the first time since the franchise moved from Houston to Nashville. In addition to Callahan, the Titans have also added Tony Pollard — in for franchise icon Derrick Henry, who will be playing next season in Baltimore — Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie among others in the offseason.
