The Titans desperately need O-line help. Here are 10 Day 3 NFL draft names to know
The Titans ignored their gaping holes at center and right guard on the first two days of the NFL draft, and now they don't pick again until the early fifth round. They have five picks left to play with, so it's not as if the Titans are totally lacking in opportunity. But they might have missed their window to find a plug-and-play starter at guard, and very well could miss out on their window to find a center as well, even if there's a little more depth at that spot in this particular class.
With that in mind, here are 10 offensive linemen who the Titans could be in range to draft on Day 3 of the NFL draft.

It's a bit of a surprise Hecht made it to Day 3. He's a plug-and-play center option if he falls into the fifth round.
C Connor Lew
There might be a little bit of concern with Lew coming off injury, but there's starter value here.
G/C Brian Parker
You know you're drafting intelligence when you're picking an offensive lineman from Duke. Parker also comes with impressive athletic traits and experience playing both tackle spots too.
OT Diego Pounds
If the Titans are in the market for a developmental swing tackle, Pounds is one of the best options available. He's experienced, long and knows his responsibilities in pass protection.
Shelton was a two-year starter at Penn State who's known for his athleticism more than he's known for his play strength. Another option as a potential developmental swing tackle.
A guard from the Iowa football machine. The Titans missed out on center Logan Jones and tackle Gennings Dunker, but could end up landing the reliable Stephens.
