Quarterback hype has dominated most of the NFL Draft's storylines heading into Thursday, when the top four picks in the first round could end up being QBs. 

But quarterbacks are nothing without a sturdy offensive line. And the first player expected to be taken at that position is Notre Dame's Joe Alt. 

Alt, the consensus top offensive tackle in this year's draft class, has been projected by many to be going to the Tennessee Titans. It makes sense considering its offensive line continues to rebuild and is in need of a left tackle.

The Titans hold the No. 7 overall pick in the draft, and Alt traveled to Nashville to meet with the team as one of its 30 pre-draft visitors. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Alt came away impressed with the organization. 

"For me, it’s always the people I think are most important," he said while discussing his experience at Selfridge Air National Guard Base outside Detroit, thanks to USAA, the NFL's official Salute to Service partner. 

"I was able to be with both [head] coach Brian Callahan and [offensive line] coach Bill Callahan. Being able to hear what their projections [are] for the team and how they coach and what they’re seeing with the team was really important for me."

Alt added he's a "big country music fan," so Nashville would be a desirable destination.
