Titans Draft 2022

The Titans gave up their already established top-flight young wide receiver A.J. Brown for this pick only to acquire a lesser similar-style talent with some big question marks attached to his level of speed and quickness. They don’t have the same big-play potential off play-action tied to Derrick Henry’s power running anymore for Ryan Tannehill. Burks and former Ram Robert Woods make this more of an intermediate passing attack. Tennessee didn’t want to break the bank to keep Brown, but it also took a big hit given its status as an AFC playoff team with more uncertainty at a critical offensive position.

Grade: D

(from PHI via NO)

The Titans didn’t have a pressing need at defensive back but took one of the best players available. McCreary has the size, physicality and fluity to play in anywhere in downfield coverage.

Grade: B

(from NYJ)

Petit-Frere is a great value pick here as he could potentially start right away at right tackle and be groomed to take over for Taylor Lewan at left tackle, given he’s adept at both positions because of his strength-agility balance. At worst, he will be a valuable swing backup as a rookie.

Grade: A

The Titans, like the Falcons with Ridder, end Willis’ ridiculous slide from first-round consideration given his strong arm and massive athletic upside. Ryan Tannehill proved in the playoffs he has a limited ceiling and Willis has a chance to displace him by 2023, when Tennessee isn’t as attached to Tannehill’s contract.
