The Tennessee Titans have eight picks to address the issues that plagued their team last year.

Could one of those picks be used on a new offensive tackle?

ESPN insider Adam Schefter tweeted that Tennessee will have Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham make a top-30 visit on Monday.

Tennessee has the No. 7 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, a pick that could be used to improve an offense that has multiple openings.

Last season, the Titans finished with the second-worst pass-blocking grade after tackle Taylor Lewan left the team.

Finding a long-term solution to this problem is among the top needs on the team.

Other positions that need addressed are mainly defensive as finding an edge rusher, defensive lineman, and safety rank among the top team needs for the Titans.

Other than offensive tackle, the tight end position is another area Tennessee can look to improve before the regular season.

The Titans own eight picks total this year with multiple picks in the seventh round.

In 2023, Latham played for an Alabama team that went 12-2 and finished as one of the four teams selected for the playoffs.

The Crimson Tide allowed 40 sacks this season in 14 games, but Latham was charged with just two sacks in nearly 450 pass-blocking snaps one year after moving to right tackle for Alabama.

During the 2022 season, Latham did not allow a single sack for the Crimson Tide.
