Players take time to get used to the game of football at the absolute hardest level, especially at positions not entirely reliant on big plays or breaks of athleticism.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">A few offensive linemen may enter the league refined and ready to make an impact at the highest level, but for a good many others, an experienced coach and beneficial system can make all the difference. Carmen Bricillo being hired to coach Tennessee&#8217;s OL certainly helps the team in both regards.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6i\">And in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/titans\/onsi\/news\/tennessee-titans-strong-interest-latrell-mccutchin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the upcoming NFL Draft,<\/a> the Titans may have their eyes on a center who could prosper within Bricillo&#8217;s new structure. Miami Hurricane James Brockermeyer, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TDavenport_NFL\/status\/2038077625055273045?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to Turron Davenport<\/a>, has already taken a pre-draft visit to Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>A Potentially Prosperous Center<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6o\">If the Titans are serious about the former Hurricane, the franchise could have exactly the sort of long-term project at center that the unit he&#8217;d be entering desperately needs. Following the release of Lloyd Cushenberry, and no big-name signings at the position this offseason, Tennessee is running relatively thin at C.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6r\">Brockermeyer, who is currently cast across the boards as a late-draft guy, boasts sneakily impressive statistics that could suggest a faster leap in the league than most expect. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/ncaa\/players\/james-brockermeyer\/125681\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Per PFF<\/a>, the protector ranks top 50 of 307 collegiate candidates in run and pass blocking, as well as overall grade.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kmx2d8wj125ds4xvw3.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman James Brockermeyer (52)\" title=\"Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman James Brockermeyer (52)\" width=\"2866\" height=\"1612\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"71\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman James Brockermeyer (52) | Jerome Miron-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\">It&#8217;s clear that he has the on-field tools to succeed and, while he may be slightly undersized at 6&#8217;3&#8243;, 295, his five years of experience on the level below the one he&#8217;s working towards promises experience in spades.<\/p>\n<p>Experience in Spades<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">In drafting Brockermeyer, the Titans would net years of consistent experience and, most recently, one of the better overall prospects taken as a whole. With picks in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, too, the Titans will have a handful of opportunities to jump on the lineman if they so wish.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">There may be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/titans\/onsi\/news\/one-offensive-line-prospect-stands-out-tennessee-titans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">other options in his field, <\/a>but if Tennessee is planning on using their earlier capital on playmakers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/titans\/onsi\/news\/daniel-jeremiah-loves-jeremiyah-loves-fit-tennessee-titans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">scoring talent<\/a> to help compliment their current complete rebuild, stealing Brockermeyer towards the end of the draft could tie a bow on the event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">This is a low-risk, high-reward selection for the Titans that, at the right moment, would seem to be a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/titans\/onsi\/news\/analyzing-every-potential-tennessee-titans-cap-casualty-offseason\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Make sure you bookmark Tennessee Titans on SI for the latest news, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adding talent in the draft, unless the Tennessee Titans are looking at the rare sort of league-ready, top&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,6,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-841325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-tennessee","11":"tag-tennessee-titans","12":"tag-tennesseetitans","13":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116313746352284072","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
