The Titans had a standout first-round pick by selecting JC Latham, an offensive tackle who is poised to make an immediate impact. Latham’s talent on the field shows great promise, and his ability to play the left tackle position in the NFL will be closely watched. Although the Titans may have reached with some of their later picks, landing Cedric Gray in the fourth round was a steal for the team. Overall, while the draft class lacks excitement unless T’Vondre Sweat can develop into a pass rusher, Latham and Gray are favorites for their potential contributions to the team.
While Latham was originally considered for the fifth overall pick, he was ultimately selected by the Titans as their favorite pick of the draft. His talents in both the run game and protection will be valuable assets alongside Will Levis, Calvin Ridley, and DeAndre Hopkins. This was a solid pick that addressed needs for the Titans without overcomplicating the decision.
On the other hand, T’Vondre Sweat from Texas was not well-liked as a pick by many fans. Despite being a massive run stuffer, Sweat lacks pass rush abilities at an NFL level, making his value questionable for an early second-round pick. If Sweat can make adjustments and become a three-down player, this pick may pay off in the long run. However, his lack of pass rush abilities makes him less exciting compared to other players in this draft class.
In addition to Latham and Sweat, the Titans also selected Cedric Gray, Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Jha’Quan Jackson
