The Titans signed Andre Dillard to a 3-year, $29 million contract during the 2023 offseason. Dillard struggled last season, playing in 16 games, starting ten, with five penalties, 12 sacks allowed, and a 51.0 PFF Grade. They released him after one season.
The Titans need a left tackle, and the team had a top-30 visit with a top tackle prospect.
The Tennessee Titans had a top-30 visit with a top tackle prospect
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the Titans had a top-30 visit with Taliese Fuaga. Fuaga is a right tackle who played college football at Oregon State. He is regarded as one of the best tackle prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, as NFL Draft Buzz has him ranked 4th, and PFF has him ranked 2nd.
Taliese Fuaga had a great collegiate career with the Oregon State Beavers
Fuaga committed to the Beavers as a three-star recruit for the 2020 season.
Fuaga played in four games as a backup in 2020. He would redshirt after the conclusion of the 2020 season.
Fuaga played in ten games as a backup in 2021. He had zero hurries, zero hits, zero sacks allowed, and an 85.6 PFF Grade in 55 offensive snaps.
Fuaga won the starting RT job in 2022. He played in 13 games, starting 13, with eight hurries, three hits, zero sacks allowed, and an 80.4 PFF Grade in 810 snaps. The Pac-12 and the Associated Press named him to their All-Pac-12 Second Team.
Fuaga played in 12 games, starting 12 in 2023, with ten hurries, two hits, zero sacks allowed, and an 88.2 PFF Grade in 700 snaps. The Associated Press named him to their All-America Second Team, and the Pac-12 named him to their All-Pac-12 First Team.
Can Taliese Fuaga play LT in the NFL?
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network thinks Fuaga can play both tackle positions in the NFL.
“I don’t think he has any limitations,” Jeremiah said. “I think he could play either tackle position and be just fine.”
Does it seem logical for the Tennessee Titans to draft Taliese Fuaga?
Joe Alt is considered the best offensive tackle prospect of the 2024 NFL Draft, and there is a possibility that Alt won’t be available at 7th overall since the Chargers need a tackle and are interested in him. If the Chargers draft Alt, Fuaga could be in play for the Titans if they view him as the second-best tackle in the draft.
