Titans Meet with Two Late Round Prospects on the Offensive Line Ahead of NFL Draft

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have been meeting with players and getting ready for the NFL draft. Recently, we learned about two additional meetings the Titans will be having with both players being on the offensive line. While much of the draft conversation has been about the top of the draft, both Tyler Beach from Wisconsin and Anthony Bradford from LSU could be available on day three of the draft.

The first player we will discuss here is Tyler Beach from Wisconsin and it appears the Titans have already spoken with him. Beach is a versatile player who has made starts at both tackle positions and at guard. His badger teammate Joe Tippman gets more attention, but Beach’s versatility could appeal to the Titans in the late rounds of the draft.

As for Anthony Bradford from LSU, the Titans will be meeting with him at some point this week. Bradford is a big and strong interior offensive lineman who fits the Titans ethos as an offense. Again, he would be more of an option for the Titans later in the draft, but could be a solid depth option.

Here is what Sports Illustrated’s Draft Bible had to say about Bradford:

“In terms of size, guards don’t get much bigger than Bradford. He has a thick lower half, to go along with an enormous upper body. Bradford is going to be a power gap scheme guard only. His strengths start with his size. That is by far his best trait. A lot of Bradford’s flaws are mitigated by how hard it is to get around him. His size saved him from giving up a lot of pressure. In very condensed spaces, Bradford has good enough foot speed for his size. In terms of his motor, Bradford looks out of shape and his play can get lazy at times. Over the course of the game, his pad level will get too high and his hand placement will get reckless. Bradford has a tendency to overset and play with his head too far forward, causing him to lose his balance. For a player of his size, he isn’t an impactful run blocker. His hands get too wide and because he plays high, Bradford consistently lost the leverage battle. He had a tough time with smaller defensive tackles, who could uproot him and then shed his block. On the move, Bradford is really slow and struggles to get to his landmarks. He’d be a liability if asked to do anything more than block in a phone booth at the next level. Overall, Bradford has size and SEC experience but there is a lot of work that needs to happen for him to develop into a backup. His traits just aren’t good enough to make up for his lack of technique and consistency.”
