NFL Mock Draft 2015 First Round: Where will Marcus Mariota fall?

35. <p>And here is where the controversy begins. Don’t worry, we’ll track Marcus Mariota until he is picked and say why he shouldn’t be picked in each spot.</p> <p>As far as Tennessee goes, Ken Whisenhunt likes to tailor his system to pure drop-back passers. Mariota is nothing close. He’s either going to stick with his delusion about Zach Mettenberger or go for Phillip Rivers if Winston goes No. 1.</p> <p>With that in mind, the Titans have weapons on offense and need to significantly shore up their defense. That will start with Leonard Williams.</p> <p>Williams is a proven playmaker at defensive end and will disrupt tons of plays. He can line up at defensive end or defensive tackle with his massive 6’4″ 302 pound frame. Picking up seven sacks in the Pac-12 where so many teams have offenses designed around quick passing plays is remarkable.</p> <p>His involvement in 80 tackles as an interior lineman is amazing, hinting that he could even play linebacker if needed.</p> <p>Williams is raw but can play in any system, and lets be honest, a guy of his athletic ability doesn’t have to learn much to play on the defensive line. So he’s the perfect guy to revitalize the Titans defense.</p> <p>Tennessee hasn’t made the playoffs since Albert Haynesworth left. Perhaps Williams could finally fill that void.</p>. Defensive Lineman. USC Trojans. Leonard Williams. 2. player
