With the eleventh pick in the 2014 AA Writers’ Mock Draft, the Tennessee Titans select…

11. Tennessee Titans
Khalil Mack
LB, Buffalo State

With Ray Horton now on board as the defensive coordinator there is a good chance that he will employ the same 4-3 under defense as he ran in Arizona under head coach Ken Whisenhunt. That hybrid scheme utilizes both 4-3 and 3-4 looks and a playmaker like Mack could excel in both types of packages. Mack is one of the rare defenders that can wreak havoc in the backfield and drop back and cover. You can make an argument that he’s one of the three best defenders in this draft along with Jadeveon Clowney and Anthony Barr. He’s a steal at #11 and I think the Titans will jump all over him if he makes it this far.
