Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Chris Brazzell & Chris Bell Among MUST PICK Receivers for Tennessee Titans on Day 2 of NFL Draft

Episode Date: April 1, 2026

The Tennessee Titans absolutely MUST take a wide receiver on Day 2 of the NFL Draft if they, as expected, pass on receiver in Round 1. With the expected names, Chris Brazzell, Chris Bell, Germie Bernard, likely available, the Titans need to come away from one of the options. If the Titans pass on the top options, names like Ted Hurst, De'Zhaun Stribling and Skyler Bell become instant targets. Finally, if the Titans truly pass on all of these needed names, what is left early on Day 3 is a rough list of Ja'Kobi Lane and Bryce Lance.   LOCKED ON TITANS EVERYDAY CLUB: https://lockedontitans.supercast.com/   Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans   TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc   Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans   Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod   Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

If the Tennessee Titans don't take a wide receiver in the first round, they absolutely must take one on day two of the NFL draft. And I'll tell you the top options on today's edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland, Titans. Titans fans on today's show.

We're going to dive into the best day two options at wide receiver. There are a couple of must-pick guys in this list who the Tennessee Titans cannot pass on. Also, we're going to look at some of the break glass in case of emergency options later in the draft as well. Before we dive into it, do want to thank you for making a locked on Titans.

We go over 200 different prospects, hit every single position if you want to be as up to date, as informed and as entertained as we head towards the NFL draft. Make sure that you stay locked in with the number one Tennessee. Titans podcast in the world. Locked on Titans. With that being said, on yesterday's show, I talked about my sensational six. The top six wide receivers in the NFL draft.

Jordan Tyson, Carnell Tate, Casey Concepcion, Omar Cooper, Mackay Lemon, Denzel Boston. That was my top six. But what happens after that? Because I think that the Titans are much more likely to go defensive end, go edge, go running back in the first round, and not ultimately take a wide receiver, which increases the need for wide receiver on day 2.

And if the Titans, in fact, do not take a wide receiver in round 1, it is an absolute must that either number 35, number 66, a trade back to get multiple picks on day 2. Whatever they do, they have to get a wide receiver on day 2. They cannot wait like they did last year until day 3 to add some weapons for Cam Ward. and if they go with a wide receiver on day two, at pick number 35 specifically, I think there are a ton of great options

that it would be hard to pass on. We talked about Denzel Boston. He was one of my sensational six, and for some reason, Boston or Concepcion or Cooper, end up at 35, which I'm not anticipating, then the Titans run to the podium and take them, especially if they did not take wide receiver in round one. That is, no question about it.

run to the podium for Boston, Cooper, or Concepcion no matter what. But I don't think those guys are going to be there. And if those guys aren't there, the next guy on my list, number seven, an elite potential wide receiver is Chris Brazzell from Tennessee. Brazel is 6'4, 198 pounds. He ran a 4.3740-yard dash. The size and speed and fluidity combination is absolutely off the charts. Listen, I don't mean to be hyperbolic here, but if this dude turned into an absolute superstar,

it looked like Randy Moss. The way he runs, the way he jumps up and gets the ball over top of people, his route ability for a guy his size. With that speed again, it's absolutely ridiculous. I compare it to going way back in the time machine, a guy like Chris Henry, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, rest in peace, and passed away early. A guy like Josh Gordon, he's not quite as built as Josh. Gordon, but I think he has that kind of capability.

And again, I know what people say about Tennessee wide receivers. I understand the dilemma there. But Chris Brazzled to me runs routes better than Jalen Hyatt or Deontay Thompson or Cedric Tillman or any of these other Tennessee wide receivers that came before him. He is a different beast than those guys were. He is. He is a better route runner the way he sinks his hips on outbreaking routes, the way he's able to get inside on people,

the way he's able to stack people vertically. It's just, it's unbelievable. So with his massive size, the speed he brings to the table, the ability to release on the line of scrimmage, the route running ability compared to his other Tennessee contemporaries, the highlight catches he can make. Watch that Georgia tape.

Watch the Georgia tape and tell me that this guy isn't a top 10 pick in the NFL draft. All right, now look. 6 foot 4, 198 pounds, he is lean. He is thin. His routes do need to advance. He did go to Tennessee after all. Like he hasn't run a full route tree by any stretch of the imagination.

He's not overly physical, and I thought that he could get bullied off his spot and off his routes, and he's not as good in contested catch situations as you want a guy like that to be, because I think the physicality gets to him. But he's 22 and a half years old. He can put on some additional mass, out his frame and you might have a legitimate star wide receiver in Chris Brasel if you take

him at number 35 or if you happen to trade back a little bit. Another guy I think it'd be a little rich to take him at 35 outside of Chris Brasel and Denzel Boston. For me we're talking about do they fall to 66 trading back from 35 to 45 to 52 like the Titans did last year. This is the range where I start to look at some of these guys and I start with Chris Bell. You're going to hear it from people. A.J. Brown. He looks like A.J. Brown. D. Joe, Samuel. I honestly think he looks a little bit like Trailing Berks. 6 foot 1, 22 pounds. So again, that's 6 foot 2, 220 size that you get from AJ or Debo. 21.9 years old. Had the ACL tear at the end of his college season.

It says these, the reports say he's on track for recovery. He'll be ready by training camp All of that, is that true or not? Is that his agent putting that out? I don't know, it's hard to tell. But what's not hard to tell is how electric this guy is. At his size with the mass and the bulk and the frame, the athletic, he is an explosive straight line athlete. Explosive.

Watching him catch a little drag route underneath and get to the sideline and just boom, book it. It, again, I see why some people have compared him to 8. J. Brown. The yards after catchability with that frame, that athleticism, that size, it is an easy comparison to make. Now, with Chris Bell, though, he is not a great route runner. Was not asked to run a lot of different routes. The salesmanship on his routes, the nuance on his routes, the tempo, it's just not there. It's just not there. But do you take a chance on a guy with that kind of size speed,

yards after catchability, the frame. Like, do you take a chance on him? And if we can teach him how to run routes and sell his routes better and get open better, now we have a freak on our hands. We have a real freakazoid here. He's more of a straight line athlete than a guy who's going to cut and have great wiggle.

You know what I mean? He's going to run through your face. His focus to catch the ball. Like his hands, his ability in contested situations, not quite where you want for a guy with his build and his size. Like he just doesn't have good feel for the position. In my opinion, the way he runs routes, the way he attacks the football. And of course, again, he's coming off the ACL tear.

Will he be the same athlete? Where does that affect him draft stock-wise? I think Chris Bell would be a great option if the Titans get a little bit of a trade back to 45, 48, 50, 50, 50, 53 and Chris Bell is there, you run to the podium and you take him. But earlier than that, it would be a little bit risky because it's not just like if he didn't have the ACL tear, he's a perfect prospect. There's a lot that needs to improve with Chris Bell, but boy, there is a lot to like with Chris Bell as well.

Now, the next guy on my list is Jeremy Bernard. And Bernard is a totally different wide receiver than Chris Brazel or Chris Bell. Chris Brasel and Chris Bell, the superstar potential was oozing out of the tape. You could see it the way they move, the way they have the ball in their hands, just watching them, you could see the superstar potential like, wow, this guy could be an absolute demon. That's not the case with Jeremy Bernard, in my opinion. I see Jeremy Bernard as like a Chris Godwin,

Robert Woods in his prime. Ameca Buka is a guy that I've seen him compared to. and if he were a Mecca at Buka, you'd run to the podium and take him at 35, wouldn't you? So Jeremy Bernard is one of those guys who, he's an all-around wide receiver, does a little bit of everything. He's a pretty good route runner. He's got good yards after catchability. Great feel against zone to get open and have to set up his man and good tempo.

They used him on gadget plays and, you know, they throw the ball to him so that he could throw the ball down the field. Like he is just an all-around athlete that does everything. everything pretty good. But he doesn't do anything special. He doesn't have electric burst. He's good in yards after catch situations, but it's not like he's got elite wiggle or elite speed with the ball on his hands. He's not elite in contested catch situations. But he's not terrible in all those things either. It's not like he can't do all those things.

So he's kind of just like the head coach's favorite. He's like a coach's pet type wide receiver who doesn't really have anything. special about him, but he just does everything pretty well. And my thing is, that's a safe wide receiver to take if you're the Tennessee Titans. Maybe he's your number two wide receiver going forward, and then eventually you get your number one. But if you want to take a chance on somebody who can maybe be an alpha number one wide receiver and like one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL, it's Chris Brazel or Chris Bell.

want to go safe and say, hey, we need to get a good football player who we know can help us, who maybe doesn't have the ceiling that these guys has, but has a higher floor, you go with Jeremy Bernard. Now, I wouldn't take Bernard at 35 because I need more high-end upside. But again, at 66, I'm running to the podium to take Jeremy Bernard. I don't think the hell lasts to 66. So a trade down, Jeremy Bernard would be a great. selection, in my opinion, at that point, top 50, that's where he needs to go.

Now, the last guy I want to mention, and it makes me sad to say this, but after I mention this name, there's a drop in tier. So we had the top six wide receivers I talked about yesterday, and then we have these four wide receivers who are in my tier two, you could say, with Brazel, Bell, Bernard, and then another B named to round it out and it's Zachariah Branch. I love Zachariah Branch. I think he's going to be way better than people think that he's going to be but there's a problem with Zachariah Branch.

I think he's basically the same kind of guy as Wondell Robinson. He's got more juice with the ball in his hands than Wondale Robinson. He is a yak monster. You can't catch him. You can't tackle him. He's jukeing guys out. Incredible lightning cuts.

They just throw bubble screens to him the whole time at Georgia because he just get the ball in his hands and he's going to go crazy. Great feel for zone. Really strong for a guy his size, 5 foot 8, 5 foot 9, 175 pounds. Ran a 4 340 yard dash though. Again, the speed, the quickness, it's just, it's elite. Great hands, great toughness for a guy his size again,

but Georgia didn't let him do anything. His route tree is a complete mystery right now. Can he be a regular wide receiver? Or is he just a screen merchant? his frame is super small like Wondale Robinson he has no experience against press coverage essentially

he's going to totally have to learn to do that out of the slot the thing is I don't think that he's a real option for the Titans because of Wondale Robinson because of Chim Dekh because of Calvin Ridley like the Titans don't need another guy who can only play in the slot and you're going to hear me disqualify people throughout today's episode because

I like Zachariah Branch but he just doesn't fit with the Titans right now because they got Wondell Robinson. I don't see a way to use Wondell Robinson to be worth his money and use Zachariah Branch to be worth a round two draft pick in the same offense. I just don't see it.

So I like Zachariah Branch, but I got to tell you, I don't think that he's anywhere near as realistic for the Titans as a fit as Chris Brasel, Chris Bell, Jeremy Bernard. Out of those four wide receivers who could be round two, options. Who do you like the best? Let me know down below.

But now, let's go to my round three options, and we start with maybe the most intriguing wide receiver in the draft, Ted Hurst.

Looking at the tier two, tier three, tier four wide receivers in this NFL draft. We talked about the guys who could make sense in round two.

Now I want to talk about the best options in round three. and we start with one of the most tantalizing guys in the entire draft, and that's Ted Hurst out of Georgia State. Before we dive into, I want to thank you again for making Locked-on Titans, your first listen each and every day. But Ted Hurst is the next guy that I want to talk about here. 6-3, 206 pounds, 4.424-yard dash. The size, the speed, the frame,

And here's something that I really think is the most intriguing about Ted Hurst. He's a pretty good route runner, folks. Like, he ran a full route tree at Georgia State. He has some nuance to his route running. He has great ball skills to go up in contested situations and make plays. When he gets the ball, for a guy 6 foot 3, 206 pounds, he's got pretty good wiggle for a guy his size. He can get the ball in his hands and do something with it.

So whether it's going up to get the ball, whether it's having the ball in his hands, he does more than what you would think he would for a guy his size for a giant with the type of speed and frame that he has. It's impressive. Like there are superstar potential there. Now the problem with Ted Hurst is he's not a super twitchy athlete.

You know, he's not a jitterbug by any means. Doesn't have enough experience against press coverage and he can, he could try to get a little too fancy with the press coverage sometimes. He tries to, you know, really do stuff like you see on social media and he just needs to clean up his technique in his routes and his releases at the line of scrimmage. He played at a lower level of competition,

played at Georgia State, and he never transferred up, which does raise eyebrows. And it's a bit of a red flag for some teams that he didn't want to transfer up and kind of prove himself as a player. He wanted to stay down at Georgia State and dominate the lower level of competition. Does that matter?

I'll leave that up to you. But at the end of the day, the competition concerns and the polish concerns are going to drop him in the draft. Now, he may go in round two. He's that tantalizing. I could see a team taking a chance on him.

Mid-round two, I could see it. But if he's there at 66 and the Titans haven't gone wide receiver yet, he would just be perfect. Again, 6'3-206, he can be that big-bodied physical X-receiver that the Titans are looking for that would fit with what they already have. You have Ridley and D.K., you have Wondell Robinson. He can battle with Elyke-I-O manner as that physical X receiver and maybe turn into a star because of it.

Ted Hurst would be an awesome pick at number 66. And honestly, I almost considered putting Ted Hurst up in that tier that we just talked about. with Branch and Bell and Brazel and Bernard. Like, I almost put him in that group, but I have to say that because of some of the concerns, he's just a little below them. For me, pick 66. If they get past 50 because of a trade back,

Hearst immediately becomes an option for me. Now, there are a couple other guys who I think that most people would have rated next at wide receiver. Antonio Williams out of Clemson, who's 5'1-187 pounds, 4-4-4-4. 21.8 years old. He's a very slippery, reliable,

yards after catch, slot threat again out of Clemson. I do not think that he fits for the Titans. He is a slot only player. And again, he does a lot of similar things to Wondale Robinson. So I think that Antonio Williams is a good player who will be drafted probably in the third round, but I don't think it'll be the Titans.

I just don't see the fit there. They already have too much of what he does. And the next player that I'm going to mention here is a guy who I will tell you I just do not like. And it's Malachi Fields from Notre Dame. He fits what the Titans won. He's 6-4, or maybe not what they want, but what I think they need. 6-4-218. He's a big-bodied ex-receiver with size, strength, ball-winning ability.

But he is slow. 4.61. He is old, 23.8 years old. He was a late bloomer, which I don't trust in college football. Good wide receivers break out early. He does not run good routes. He is lethargic. He is mechanical.

He cannot sink his hips. I don't like Malachi Fields at all. I think he should be a fifth round pick, and I would not be happy if the Tennessee Titans took him in round three. But alas, this is about where most people have him ranked. But make no mistake about it, I do not like Malachi Fields. Not high on him at all.

A guy who I'm much higher on, who I would be much happier if the Titans took him at 66, is Dazan Stribling out of Ole Miss, 6 foot 2, 207 pounds, 4.3640 yard dash. He's another guy who is an older prospect. I admit, 23.4 years old.

So that's why he's this low in my rankings. But his speed, his physicality, his ball tracking, his incredible hands combined with straight line yards after catchability and his blocking prowess, this is a guy who I would take a chance on. I saw a comparison to a guy like Romeo Dobbs. And we were considering Romeo Dobbs and free agency. Getting a guy like Romeo Dobbs and Dizan Stribling makes a ton of sense. That speed, that size. winning down the field vertically, which helps Cam Ward as well,

I love Dizond Stripling. Now, he needs more polish in his routes, especially the end-breaking routes instead of the vertical routes. He's not super laterally quick as well. He's not going to juke people out of their shoes, and he's got to get better with his release packages and be quicker at the line of scrimmage. But, again, the explosiveness.

I want somebody with some explosiveness to him, all right? and that's not Malachi Fields, that is Desaun stribbling. And a lot of people considered him a day three pick early in the process, and he has impressed the entire time. And you look at his last five games of college football, he went nuts. Literally nuts. Five yards a game, 100 yards a game, multiple touchdowns.

Like he went insane in those games. Now, he didn't do much up until that point. And for being 23 and a half years old and not dominating until the end of the season that's why you go in round three. That's why you may last to pick 101. But Dizan Shribling would be my next ranked

wide receiver. And then we have Skyler Bell. Skyler Bell is a guy that a lot of people like because he is explosive. 5 foot 11, 192 pounds, 4 440, very quick player. Good size to him for a guy with his quickness. Like, again, he's not as big as the other guys

we've talked about. But 5'11, 190, that's big enough to play some on the outside. He's got great quickness as well. Great yards after catchability. He can take a short route like a slant, a quick in, a quick out, something like that. He can take those and take them to the house. And he would have been even better and ranked even higher in this draft if he had better quarterback play.

But he is a bit of a rigid route runner at the intermediate and deep levels. He doesn't have the best hands. he's got some drops to him, and he can get pushed around a little bit physically. So can he play full-time on the outside? Will he need to be full-time in the slot? That's the question. I think Antonio Williams is more of an only slot guy. I think a guy like Skyler Bell, a guy like Omar Cooper as well,

could play a little bit on the outside more than a branch, more than an Antonio Williams. So Skyler Bell's right on that line where I'd be a little surprised if the Titans took him, but not completely shocked. You know what I mean? The next guy that I want to mention here is Elijah Sirat, the other wide receiver from Indiana. 6'2, 210 pounds.

He's also about to turn 23 years old, so an older prospect, but he is an above-the-rim player. He jumps over top of people, makes contested catches, wins jump ball situations. He has great body control, understands body contortion, where the ball is at, he can adjust to it very well. he reminds me of, he's like DeMar DeRosen in the NBA

where DeMar DeRosen doesn't have the elite athleticism. Elijah Serat doesn't really have speed. DeMar de Rosen isn't a great three-point shooter. Elijah Serat is not a vertical player. He's not going to win down the field. But in that medium range, in the traffic, when there's bodies all around, he can just rise up and hit that mid-range jumper

anytime he wants it. And Sarat, again, may not be the fastest guy, may not be the quickest, not great with the ball in his hands, doesn't create separation in his route running. Not going to be a vertical threat to get down the field. But in that traffic, in the red zone, he just finds a way to get the ball down. So, Serrat would be a guy if the Titans trade down

and collect an additional third rounder, I would say past pick 80, past pick 85, Sarat becomes a real option at that point. I would say the same for Bell as well. Skyler Bell. I'm looking maybe not 66. But if they get another pick later than 66, or it gets to 101,

I think those guys make a ton of sense. The last guy I want to mention who's also often put in this grouping is Dionne Burks from Oklahoma. But again, another guy who I think is a slot-only player. 5'9-180, 4.3 on the 40-yard dash. 23.3 years old. So some of these prospects that we're talking about

are older guys like Shribbling, Malachi Field, Skyler Bell, Dionne Burks, Elijah Surrott. All of these guys are 23 or older or 24. You notice how all of the wide receivers that I've talked about before them are younger than them. Age at wide receiver is absolutely critical.

It's absolutely critical in my opinion. But Dionne Burks, quick slot guy, good speed, good feel. He just lacks size, gets beat up by physicality at the catch point in his routes, yards after catch, physicality. Dionne Berks is a player who should get drafted, pick 120 or lower. But I don't think he's a fit with the Titans because he's a slot only guy, in my opinion. So now we've got to get to the guys who I think are day three options for the Tennessee Titans. And I'll be honest, if the Titans don't take a wide receiver earlier than some of these guys,

I'm going to be incredibly disappointed. Do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Robin Hood. What if sports were traded like markets?

And let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast again going over the day two must pick wide receiver options. My next tier after my sensational six at the top is Chris Brasel, Chris Bell, Jeremy Bernard, Zachariah Branch. Then we go to Ted Hurst, Deson Stribling, Skyler Bell, Elijah. just Sirot. I would also throw Antonio Williams, Malachi Fields, and Dion

Burke's into that group, but those are guys who I don't think are a fit for the Tennessee Titans. Now we got to get to the day three options and again if the Tennessee Titans don't pick a wide receiver until day three I am going to be utterly disgusted and disappointed. It is going to be a travesty because quite honestly I think things get ugly on day three. Whereas I feel confident in tier two, tier three, that those guys are going to make an impact immediately for the Titans. I'm not certain that any of these guys can get on the field right away, despite some of them having things that they do bring to the table.

Number one on my list, Brennan Thompson, out of Mississippi State. He's another guy who I think is a very good player, and at this point, why not take him? But I don't think that he's the type of receiver the Titans are looking for because I think he's mostly going to be a slot guy. He is a speed demon. He ran a 4-2-6, 40-yard dash.

But he's 164 pounds. 164 pounds at 5-foot-9. That's a tiny dude. So he may be a speed demon, but a deep threat speed. He's like 2-2 Atwell, is who he reminds me of. Is 2-2 Atwell going to come in and make an impact immediately?

It hasn't happened. He's had some good moments, but I just don't think that Brennan Thompson, and the speed is elite, no doubt about it. He's going to be a deep threat down the field. But he's not a great route runner, intermediate and short. His size really limits him. I just don't think he's what the Titans are looking for right now.

Bryce Lance, though, Trey Lance's brother, from North Dakota State, he could be what the Titans are looking for. 6'3, 204 pounds, ran a 4.3-440-yard dash. So again, that size, that speed he's got. great ball skills too to go up contested catchability all of that he's just not a great route runner doesn't have elite quickness obviously but at that point if you're just looking for somebody to compete with elech ayo manor and two similar guys who can kind of push each other

Bryce lance would make a ton of sense on day three for the titans I think that would be a good pick and he could be you know some people have said like Christian Watson who went to north Dakota State. I don't think he has the wiggle and the agility that Christian Watson does. That's why he's not going to get drafted anywhere near as high as Christian Watson, in my opinion. But Bryce Lance could make some sense. I'd rather have him over Malachi Fields. The thing is, he's also almost 25 years old. And he's been playing at North Dakota State. So that's why he's going to go on day three.

Jacoby Lane. A lot of people like Jacoby Lane out of USC. I'm not as high on Jacoby Lane. He's 6'4, 200 pounds. ran a 4-47 40-yard dash. He's 21.7 years old. That sort of size can win in contested catch situations because of his length and his size and his frame.

But he's soft, in my opinion. He gets bullied by physicality in his routes. Not as good at the catch point as I think a guy needs to be for his size and his frame. Not a good route runner. He's basically a red zone merchant. I am not very high on Jacoby Lane, if I'm honest with you.

But on day three, You're picking him at, you know, 142, 144. Why not? Some other guys, everybody likes Barry and Brown. Play to Kentucky with Willis. I do believe he's 5'10, 177 pounds, ran a 4.440-yard dash. And again, another small guy who I think probably going to play in the slot. He's got great speed.

He's a really good kick returner. But that kick return ability doesn't translate to the yards after catchability when he actually catches the ball. Not a good route runner, not nuanced, not savvy. Doesn't seem to take the small things very seriously. Doesn't play well through physicality. I know everybody likes Baryin Brown, but I don't think that he is a legitimate option

for the Tennessee Titans and what they're looking for. Two guys who I think could be sixth or seventh round picks who I think are a great fit for the Tennessee Titans. Number one, Reggie Virgil out of Texas Tech. 6-2-187. rent a 4.57 40-yard dash. He's 21.9 years old. Not the fastest guy.

All right, he doesn't have burst, doesn't do anything special, but he's very solid. He could be a Nick Westbrook-A-type guy. He's a solid receiver with good size, runs good routes for a guy his size, just not overly explosive, not incredible and contested,

not great with yards after catchability, and he's going to play special teams. So when you're getting drafted that late, Reggie Virgil, special teams, size, well-rounded athlete. I think Reggie Virgil would be, even if the Titans take a wide receiver earlier in the draft, Reggie Virgil in the 6th round or 7th round, I think makes a ton of sense for the Titans

as they continue to try to find bigger wide receivers to add to the room. And then the last guy I want to mention is Jeff Caldwell. Speaking of bigger wide receivers, 6'5, 216 pounds out of Cincinnati, ran a 4-3-1, 40-yard dash at 6-foot 5. He's 25 years old though He is who he is Tall Vertical speed wide receiver

Doesn't deal with physicality well Not a very good route runner But he'll get vertically, win vertically And use his size I think he's gonna go later in the draft And that could be a guy who makes sense for the Titans Again late on day three But that is my

Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 wide receiver rankings We went over 22 different players Heck, there are going to be 30 wide receivers taken in the NFL draft. So there are other guys still out there who I know that some of you may like, but that's the guys who really stood out to me for different reasons. That's going to do it though for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
