WalterFootball.com: NFL Draft Grades - Tennessee Titans

2023 Pick 3. (R:1 P:3) - Will Anderson, DE, Alabama A+ Nick Caserio is not a sleeper agent for the Colts or Titans. If he pretended to be, then he double-crossed them! The Texans traded up from No. 12 to 3 to land what they think is the best defensive player in this class, and they could be correct. Will Anderson would have been a poor choice at No. 2 because that would have involved passing on a franchise quarterback, but getting Anderson and Stroud is unbelievable. Caserio for general manager of the year?

2023 Pick 72. (R:3 P:9) - Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
B I thought Garrett Williams would be drafted later than this because he's coming off a torn ACL. This will be a very good pick if he's healthy, though I suppose that the Cardinals won't even need him to play in 2023 because they're going to be dreadful without Kyler Murray anyway. This is a solid selection for the long haul, though it comes with risk.

2023 Pick 147. (R:5 P:12) - Josh Whyle, TE, Cincinnati
B I had Jordan Howden going three picks later than this, so the range makes sense for the Saints, who needed to improve their secondary. Jordan Howden had lots of fans from the scouting departments even though his play didn't show it at Minnesota.

2023 Pick 186. (R:6 P:9) - Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland A+ I had Jaelyn Duncan in the first round of my mock draft not too long ago! Duncan isn't a finished product, but he's super athletic and possesses a ton of upside. It seems as though he slipped because of character and work ethic concerns, but he's worth the gamble here.

2023 Pick 228. (R:7 P:11) - Colton Dowell, WR,
B- Colton Dowell has plus size and hands, but doesn't have much speed or run-after-the-catch skills. Still, given the Titans' poor receiving corps, he might be able to make the final roster.

2022 Pick 18. (R:1 P:18) - Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas B Grade
The Titans acquired this pick from the Eagles for A.J. Brown. They obviously needed to replace him, and Treylon Burks is the best receiver on the board. He was considered the fifth of the top five receivers even though he was the sixth wideout chosen, but I didn't think that was fair. Burks is very close to the other four receivers, so I love this value for Tennessee. Surrendering Brown is a tough pill to swallow though.

2022 Pick 35. (R:2 P:3) - Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn B- Grade
No Malik Willis for the Titans, which has to disappoint the Tennessee fans. It's a shame, as they'll have to continue to endure Ryan Tannehill's mediocrity. Roger McCreary is a solid pick, and I thought he had a chance to be chosen in the middle of the second round. This is a bit early for him, but it's fine.

2022 Pick 69. (R:3 P:5) - Nick Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State B+ Grade
This is a solid pick. I had Nick Petit-Frere in the second or third round, depending on the update, and the Titans really needed to focus on their offensive line. They missed out on the top two guards, but Petit-Frere should help protect Ryan Tannehill, as the mediocre quarterback chokes away another playoff game.

2022 Pick 86. (R:3 P:22) - Malik Willis, QB, Liberty A+ Grade
LOL! I thought the Titans should have abandoned Ryan Tannehill and drafted Malik Willis at No. 35, yet they were able to do this at No. 86. Willis will obviously sit for a year or so, but he's going to take over for Tannehill at some point. Willis has huge upside with his athleticism and mobility, and he's also a smart quarterback. He's just raw, but the Titans should be able to develop him rather quickly for 2023 and beyond. This is an obvious A+.

2022 Pick 131. (R:4 P:26) - Hassan Haskins, RB, Michigan
C- Grade
Hassan Haskins was in and out of my mock draft in the sixth and seventh round. He didn't make the final cut, but easily could have. With that in mind, this is a reach. The Titans could've found a similar running back later, though it does make sense that they'd find some insurance for Derrick Henry.

2022 Tennessee Titans - Prospect:TBD

2022 Pick 205. (R:6 P:26) - Austin Deculus, OT, LSU
A- Grade
It's no surprise that the Texans are addressing their offensive line again. They're getting a solid third-day prospect I had in the fifth round. Austin Deculus is a versatile player who can be used at tackle or guard.

2022 Pick 220. (R:6 P:41) - Kalia Davis, DT, Central Florida
B+ Grade
Kalia Davis is a big run-stuffer, which is key for the 49ers as they try to combat the Rams and Seahawks. Davis is coming off a torn ACL, causing him to drop in the 2022 NFL Draft. At this point, he's worth the risk.

2021 Pick 22. (R:1 P:22) - Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech B- Grade
This is another pick that is incredibly difficult to grade. Caleb Farley would have been in the same pantheon as Jaycee Horn and Patrick Surtain if he didn't have any medical concerns. Unfortunately, Farley was one of the riskiest players in this class in regard to health. If he can remain on the field, he'll be a shutdown cornerback for the Titans. However, there's a decent chance he won't be able to stay on the field at all. Again, players like Farley and Jaelan Phillips often fall, so I'm surprised that didn't happen.

2021 Pick 53. (R:2 P:21) - Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State B Grade
The Titans have lost three right tackles in the span of two offseasons, so this was a position they needed to address. This is fine value for Dillon Radunz, but the one concern I have is that Radunz won't have the length to stay at tackle, so he may have to move inside.

2021 Pick 85. (R:3 P:21) - Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson
B Grade
The Packers weren't kidding when they said they were going to have A. Rodgers on their team next year. It's nice that they finally obtained a receiver, and Amari Rodgers is an explosive athlete who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball. I had Amari Rodgers in the fourth round, so this is almost the right range.

2021 Pick 100. (R:3 P:36) - Elijah Molden, CB, Washington C Grade
The Titans are filling a need. Then again, everything is a need for them on defense. This includes slot cornerback in the wake of Adoree Jackson's departure. Elijah Molden is a gritty and tough cornerback, but he's small and slow, which doesn't bode well for him. I had him in the fifth round.

2021 Pick 126. (R:4 P:21) - Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma State
B+ Grade
Chuba Hubbard's draft stock fell this past year. I had him in the second round earlier, but he didn't quite live up to his potential. Still, I like the pick, as the Panthers needed insurance at running back just in case Christian McCaffrey is hurt again. Mike Davis is gone, so Hubbard will take his spot.

2021 Pick 166. (R:5 P:22) - Keith Taylor, CB, Washington
B- Grade
A second cornerback was essential for the Panthers, who have to deal with some ridiculous receivers in their division. Keith Taylor was someone I've had in the sixth round in some updates, so this range is fine for him.
