21. Tennessee Titans

Iowa. Noah Fant . 21. player. 35. . TE

Delanie Walker has been one of the best free agent signings the Tennessee Titans have ever made, but the veteran tight end is approaching his mid-30s. They have to start thinking about finding his successor in order to keep Marcus Mariota properly armed. The consensus top tight end going int 2019 is easily Noah Fant of Iowa. He has all the traits you look for from size to strong hands, blocking prowess and an ability to find open spots in coverage over the middle and down the seam. He’s also a persistent red zone threat that makes life easy for his quarterback. Replacing Walker would be easy for him.
