Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans Jeremiyah Love PERFECT MATCH at EDGE in Round 2 of NFL Draft about SPEED OR POWER

Episode Date: April 8, 2026

The Tennessee Titans may draft Jeremiyah Love in the first round and if they do, an edge rusher would be a perfect complement as it still remains a massive need for the team. If Love is the pick, who the Titans take at edge will depend on whether they want a speed or power edge. Names like Cashius Howell, R Mason Thomas and Malachi Lawrence would be great speed fits, but Zion Young, Keldric Faulk and TJ Parker could be good power fits. The question is do the Titans think they have enough power to prefer speed, or is power the new everything. However, the Titans could go for an edge later in the draft and if they do, there will still be good depth available.   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 take Jeremiah Love to start the NFL draft, they absolutely must get an edge rusher on day two. And I'll tell you who the perfect fits are in 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 podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland Titans fans on today's show. We are gonna break down the rest of the edge rusher class.

I talked about the top three on my bonus show earlier today. Now it's time to dive into the day two and day three edge options. And again, if the Tennessee Titans take Jeremiah Love to start the NFL draft, it is critical that they find a fit on the edge on day two before I dive into all of the options in a deep edge rush your class.

Speaking of every day, shout it to my everydayers out there. Tune in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you aren't an everydayer, you need to be one. Again, the draft is two weeks away. No one is going to keep you as up to date, as informed, and as entertained as I am here on the number one Tennessee Titans podcast in the world, so stay locked in to Locked on Titans. But with that being said, again, if the Tennessee Titans take Jeremiah Love at the start of the draft, you get him on board. I think they absolutely must get an edge rusher on day two,

whether that be at pick 35, whether that be at pick 66, whether that be with a trade down in the second round that necks them additional capital, whether and wouldn't this be an outcome if the Titans were to trade down a couple of spots and still get Jeremiah Love. Either way, if the Tennessee Titans take Jeremiah Love to start the NFL draft, they need to grab an edge eventually. And I know that a lot of you guys think that I'm crazy. They added a bunch of edge rushers. Edge isn't that big of a need. I say that you are insane. That Edge is still a major need. We've talked about it. You have Femmy and Germain. Femmy, can you count on him to be a, uh,

a full-time starter, pass-rusher type right now. I don't think you can. Jermaine Johnson coming off in Achilles, hasn't been up to his form. Wasn't incredible in 2023 either and is on a one-year contract. Jacob Martin, your other option? Like, I don't know, guys. I think edge rusher is still a massive need for the Titans, and they could decide, hey, if R. Val Rees, David Bailey, both off the board,

if they're not into Rubin Bain, which they may not be, then you absolutely go with Jeremiah Love. Who would be the option at number 35 if the Titans decided to go edge there? Again, I think 35 or 66 has to be an edge rusher. And for me, if I look at the power edge rushers, the speed ed rushers, I think it's very obvious the Titans need a speed edge rusher. I've been talking about this for a while. Again, Femi, Power Rusher.

Germaine Johnson, Power rusher. John Franklin Myers, if he's on the edge, power rusher. Jeffrey Simmons, if he's on the edge, power rusher. Jacob Martin, a 30-year-old journeyman in the NFL, is the only real speed rusher that they have, and he is not a starting level player. So for me, my preference is easily speed rusher. And my favorite speed rusher that could potentially be there at 35,

again, this is pick 35. The only guy, or the guy that I like the most, is Malachi Lawrence. out of UCF. 6 foot 4, 253 pounds, 33 and 5 eighth inch arms, so almost 34 inch arms. We're in a 4-540-yard dash. He's 22.7 years old. He has elite get-off off the line of scrimmage. Obviously, we're talking about speed rushers. That's something that's absolutely going to be key. The burst off the line of scrimmage. His moveset, he's got a lot of moves in the tool bag.

Great hands, really smart with his hands, has great length. He'll set the edge in the run game. He's just not a power rusher. He's just not a super powerful guy. Needs to be smarter in the run game, more discipline in the run game, not overrun plays, get out of gaps. And you know, honestly, it was surprised to me. I saw on multiple scouting reports that teams are concerned about his age. But I found that he was only 22.7 years old.

I check multiple places. And I don't think that 22.7 years old is an age concern. So maybe I misread it. Maybe multiple places had it wrong. I don't know, but Malachi Lawrence, the combination of burst, speed, explosiveness, playmaking ability, length, hands. Like, I love Malachi Lawrence.

If it went Jeremiah Love, Malachi Lawrence, we are throwing a party on draft night. Like, we are going nuts on Friday night if that's how we start. Like, I may pop a champagne bottle because that is a freakish pairing to start things off. And I'm very worried about Edge. Look, I am an old school football soul.

I may be, you know, 34, 35 years old, but I am an old man when it comes to football. I want to man the trenches. I want defensive line depth. I value pass rush over coverage. Give me the trenches. So I prefer Edge at number four, but again, if they go with Jeremiah Love

and end up with Malachi Lawrence, We are absolutely cooking with gas at that point. Follow it up with wide receiver at 66. Woo! We are going. But if not Malachi Lawrence, because Lawrence may go in the first round. He very well may go in the first round.

Cassius Howe. Texas A&M. Big fan. Now he's an undersized rusher. He's only 6 foot 2. Talk about Ruben Bain's short arms. 30 and a quarter inch arms. That's ton.

tiny, tiny. And that's why he's not going to go in the first round. 23 years old, so not quite old, but not quite young either. Cassius Howl though? He may have short arms and a small frame, but he has elite bend, get off off the line of scrimmage. So many different pass rush moves. A polished pass rusher. Coverage, he can drop back, be versatile that way. he plays with violence even though he's undersized,

and he is a football guy. He loves football. He is known as a worker and someone who's committed to football at all times. So yeah, he doesn't have great size, doesn't have great length, may not be great in run defense, but as a speed edge rusher,

as a speed rusher, who can rush from the wide nine, be the field side rusher, get up field quick, force the quarterback into Jeffrey Simmons, John Franklin Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Femiola, Dejio, the power rushers who are pushing the pocket in. You've got to have one guy coming off the edge with speed who can win quickly and move the quarterback into your other power rushers.

That's the way that Robert Sala does it and Cassius Howe could do it. R. Mason Thomas is another guy who would fit that mold perfectly. He's a little bit undersized. 6 foot 2, 241, 31 and 3 quarter inch arms. A little bit younger, 21.7 years old. I think the Titans may like R. Mason Thomas more than Cassius how. They're similar players. R. Mason Thomas may be not quite as explosive.

Doesn't have as much weight, but longer arms. Younger player. Great, R. Mason Thomas has great bend. He gets underneath offensive tackles. Looks like a motorcycle racer. Skimming the paint. Get off on the line of scrimmage. His speed to pass.

He just cooks, dudes, even though he's 241 pounds, just cooks. And at 21.7 years old, he might be able to put on another 10 pounds of muscle. But he is tough. He strikes you with his hands, plays with grit and determination. Again, like we talked about with Cassius Howe, Amalachi Lawrence, the size, at least with Howell and Thomas, the length, not quite there. The length does factor in with Armeson Thomas, his tackling, his ability, to get guys off his body and extend and shed.

The length does show up. He's had some injury problems too, our Mason Thomas. He has not been super durable. But again, when we're talking about a speed edge rusher, they may be a... If you have Femiola Dajio and Jermaine Johnson and John Franklin Myers and Jeffrey Simmons and Solomon Thomas and Jordan Elliott

all on the defensive line that play with power, you can have Femi and Jermaine as your edges on run downs with J.F.m. and Jeffrey Simmons or J.F.M. or Jeffrey Simmons and Solomon Thomas or Jeffrey Simmons and Jordan Elliott. That can be your early down front. And when it's time to rush the passer, you have a designated pass rusher, a DPR, which is a common role in the NFL. If Cassius Howe or R. Mason Thomas or your DPR that you took in the second round, that's a great pick. That's a great pick. there are guys who I like at 66 who are speed rushers.

If we get to the third round, like, you know, Josh Joseph's, Ramello Hyke, Kieran Crawford, and we'll talk about the third round options here at the end of the show. But maybe I'm wrong. And you guys know, real listeners, real everydayers of the show, know that I admit when I'm wrong and acknowledge the possibility that I could be wrong all the time. And if I'm wrong about the speed rusher, need and the Titans just, we want power rushers only.

If I'm wrong about the speed rusher thing and the Titans go with a power rusher at 35, well there are a lot of great options there as well.

Podcast, maybe. Breaking down the edge rusher group. Again, we talked about the fact that I think the Titans need a speed edge rusher. Malachi Lawrence, Cassius How, R. Mason Thomas could all make a lot of sense for the Titans at Pit 35. But now I want to talk about the power rushers that could make sense for the Titans in the second round. Before I dive in, thanks again for making Lockdown Titans your first list in each and every day. But number one on the list. And I can't say that I'm very high on this player.

I am not super high on this player. but if they fall to number 35, I can't be mad at the Titans for taking them. And it's Keldrick Falk, the edge rusher out of Auburn. 6 foot 5, 276 pounds, 34 and 3 eighth inch arms, 4.67 in the 40-yard dash, and ladies and gentlemen, he is 20.6 years old.

20.6. This dude is barely scratching the surface of who he is. I think he goes in the first round because a guy that big, that long, that young, that much potential, guys like that don't drop to the second round. But if he does, the size, the length, he's a smooth mover for a guy that size, really good shedding blocks and run defense, really good tackler as well, but there is downside. He would be a much higher pick if there wasn't so much downside.

He is not an explosive athlete. He is a terrible pass rusher, has no idea how to pass rush, no pass rush plan. He was not very productive in college. I'm sorry, you have all those physical gifts and you didn't lead the team in sacks or tackles for loss in three seasons? People question his intensity. He's a good guy, like I read in The Beast.

He donated part of his NIL money to a walk-on teammate so that they could go to school and stay on the team and all that. Sounds like a great boy. You know? You're a good kid, man. But does he have that ruthless intensity to maximize his gifts and be a great football player? He's very similar to Mikel Williams,

who the 49ers drafted last year to be in Robert Salah's defense. So, maybe that is what Salah's defense. that is what Sala wants. And if you told me five years from now, Keldrick Falk is the best defensive end

of this entire draft class, I would not be shocked. Because again, the length, the size, the upside, I don't pay attention to college football enough, especially the SEC with me being a Midwesterner. But is, maybe you guys can tell me because some of you guys are Auburn fans,

some of you guys are big SEC, people. Is Auburn's coaching terrible? I'm live right now. If someone wants to tell me in the chat, does Auburn have terrible coaches? Because Keldrick Falk never developed pass rush moves or a plan. So if you get him with an excellent defensive line coach like Aaron Whitecotton and Robert Sala and you coach him up, if he adds a pass rush repertoire to take advantage of his size and his strength, you have a freak right there.

You have like a first round talent version of Danico Autry. So if he's at 35, would I take him in the first round? No. But if you take Jeremiah Love to start and then you have Keldrick Falk at 35, I mean, I can't be mad at that. I can't be mad at that at all. That's great value. And I feel the same way about the next guy. He may have had a disappointing 2025.

But this guy was slated to be a top 10 pick going into the season. and I have heard that Clemson's coaching was bad because they had a bunch of talented dudes up front who had disappointing seasons and got worse. To me, that's a coaching problem. T.J. Parker is secretly one of my big draft crushes. I watched his 20-24 tape last year, and I was like, man, this dude's awesome.

Like, the get-off off the line of scrimmage with the length speed to power. He's willing and able in the run game to chase guys down. He can drop into coverage. He's been durable. He's just done nothing but play football games. Never hurt, never misses time. You know what I mean?

And the discipline in the run game. Making sure that he has counters to his speed to power. Those are the only downsides here. 6.3, 263. So big, strong, 33 and an 8th inch arms, long enough arms. 21 and a half years old. Like T.J. Parker is a guy who I think might be an absolute steel. An absolute steel.

So, if you got Jeremiah Love and T.J. Parker, Mike Borgonzi build the statue. You're cooking. Now, the next guy, I'm going to be controversial here. Because I know a lot of you guys like him. But I don't. Akeem Messador.

I do not like Akeem Messador. I'm out on Akeem Messador. It's not because I think he's a bad player. It's not because I think Akeem Messador is a bad player. I think he's a terrible fit for the Titans. 6.3-259, 32-and-an-eighth-inch arms, 25 years old. He has good mass, thick-built, sturdy frame,

great get-off on the line of scrimmage, developed as a pass-rrusher with good moves, plays with violence, has been incredibly productive. He's not the longest, not the most explosive. He gets off the line of scrimmage, but he's not an explosive, twitchy athlete. Not super disciplined in the run game, again, because his motor runs so hot all the time.

He'll overrun, he'll get out of position, stuff like that. But at the end of the day, he is an inside, outside rusher, and the Titans have enough of those. He has had injury concerns throughout his college career. He is 25 years old. Even if he becomes good. By the time that the Titans are ready to win because of his skill set,

he'll be 27, 28 years old. He'll be 29 when his rookie contract ends. Are you going to extend him? Like, compared to a Keldrick Falk who isn't inside outside Russia with issues of his own, but he's 20 years old. He's 20, 5 years younger. That matters. It matters to NFL teams and it should matter even more to the Titans who are a rebuilding team. The Titans cannot afford to take a 25 year old guy with injury concerns that is an inside outside Russia,

which is what your best players already do. You put, you're going to put 100 million in Jeffrey Simmons, you put 60 million in John Franklin Myers. You can't then take a Keem Messador at 25 years old. That's not. It's not a scheme fit. it's not a timeline fit I'm out on Akeem Messador I don't see how the Titans take him

which means they probably will knowing my luck The last guy that I want to mention here is a guy that a lot of you guys might have number one out of this group of four power rushers and it's Zion Young out of Missouri 6 foot 5, 262, 32, 33 inch arms 4.7 540 is 22 years old

Zion Young has incredible length He plays with incredible violence and power He can get the ball out of the hands of the quarterback or the ball carrier He really does a good job of that He'll chase you down backside in the run game Effort player Hard worker too

He's considered a very hard worker at Missouri Guy really puts it all into football However He's not the fastest He doesn't have great speed or burst He doesn't bend either. He's a linear athlete. He doesn't have good flexibility.

He is a power rusher like Femmy, I would say. Like Jermaine Johnson, I would say. And he is a character of concern. He has had multiple little incidents, some arrests, things like that. It is a concern. He's a hard worker on the football field in the wait room. Like he's a hard worker. But he is a little bit of a character.

multiple years with incidents throughout his college career, which is hard for NFL teams to look over. But a lot of people see Zion Young as a first-round talent who may drop to 35 because of those things. And if I'm the Titans and I feel comfortable with the character, again, it's not like the character concerns with Isaiah Wilson, where he may get in trouble off the field and he's a lazy bum. like Zion Young is a hardworking football player

he just gets into trouble off the field a little bit can you deal with that? I don't know if the Titans are in a position to deal with that but boy he has a lot of talent now whether it be a speed rusher whether it be a power rusher there's a gob of edge rushers that I think would be great for the Titans

at pick number 66 and then we got some day three options that we need to go over as well do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by TurboTax. It's tax time.

Again, we're breaking down the edge rusher class in the NFL draft. Earlier today on my bonus episode, I talked about David Bailey, R. Val Rees, Rubin Bain.

Now, we hit the top speed rushers in the draft. Malachi Lawrence, Cash is Howe, R. Mason Thomas. We talked to best power rushers at 35 in the draft, Keldrick Falk, T.J. Parker, Akeem Messador, and Zion Young. Now I want to get to the options at both categories at pick number 66 and then on day three. Before I dive in, thanks again for making Locked on Titans.

Hit the link down below in the description and join the Locked-on Titans every day or day. club. With that being said, though, looking at the rest of the speed rushers. A guy that I have really liked throughout the process is Joshua Joseph's. 6 foot 3, 24 and a quarter inch arms. He's 22.3 years old.

Great burst off the line of scrimmage. Great length. Very violent player with his hands. He has a willingness to play in the run game. He has so much potential to use different moves. He's used a bunch of different moves. The effectiveness needs to get cleaned up. He's not a great size. He's only 240 pounds. He needs to have a better plan in his rush game. He's too uncoordinated, too disorganized. Doesn't have polish and the moves that he does use.

The snaps are concerned. Tennessee likes to have a rotation on their defensive line. So that maybe is the only answer that we need. But you thought that Josephs would take a step forward this year and they still kind of kept him in a rotational role. So is that because Joshua Joseph's isn't good enough? and they know it, or is that because that's just what they do? You know what I mean?

It's hard telling. And then, of course, you've got to talk about the character stuff. Now, I found it interesting that in The Beast, which is Dane Brugler from the Athletic, his draft guide, it's my favorite one. Well, it's the most informative. James Foster, no flags film. That's my favorite draft guide. Check that out.

But it's kind of a known thing that Joshua Joseph's has character concerns. Usually in The Beast by Dane Brugler, he puts something in there about what that's about. Well, the only thing that he put in there is that Joshua Joseph's is very close friends with James Pierce Jr. That, they are very close friends, like best friends. That might be the character concern right there. That his best friends with one of the worst character guys

in the entire NFL. Now, you aren't responsible for the actions of your friends. Okay, that's not a fair way. But at some point, the company you keep. So that might be Dane Bruegler's wink wink at the audience. Like, yeah, he's best friends with James Pierce Jr. They're very close. Okay.

So if the character concerns are as bad with Joshua Joseph's as some people act like, the Titans probably would pass. But from a player perspective, Joshua Joseph's is my favorite edge rusher at 66. Ramelo height from Texas Tech he's another speed rushing option 6 foot 2, 239 pounds

32 and a quarter inch arms he's 25 years old though and I can't sit here and tell you hey you know you can't take a Keem Messador at 35 and then say they need to take Romello height at 66. Although the difference between 35 and 66 is pretty phenomenal Ramello height has great get-off really quick feet

to juke out offensive tackles speed to power. He's a feisty player. It will chase you backside. He's a good worker as well. He's just old. He's an undersized rusher. 239. That's really small. And for a guy who's 25 years old, his rush plan isn't organized enough. You should be a completely polished rusher by the time you're 25 years old.

So I like the idea of Romello height, but he's just a worst prospect version of Cassius Howlin R. Mason Thomas in my opinion. They're all similar style players. The guy who I am interested in is Keiron Crawford. 6-4-253, 32-inch arms. He's 22-5 years old. Great get-off and he has great bend. Great potential to have a bunch of different moves.

He's shown the ability to do it. He's feisty as great football character. Great football character, elite worker. He just is a bit undersized. Doesn't have great anchor to hold up and run defense. He lacks polish. Again, Auburn. Defensive line.

Like, that's a concern. You know what I mean? So, I wonder. I have to wonder. But I really like the idea Keeron Crawford.

With that kind of bend, that kind of get-off, not that old of a prospect, the potential to have a bunch of different moves. I like the idea. I like the idea. With that being said, though, what if we did a power rusher at 66? What if we did a power rusher on day 2? Gabe Jackus out of Illinois, 63-260, 33-inch arms.

He's 21.9 years old. He is powerful. But very technical with his hands. Very good hands. He has good body control as well for a guy that big. He gets the ball out of the guy's hands. He gets the ball out. Period.

And that is a valuable, valuable skill set when you just understand how to punch the ball out of people's hands. That's valuable. The motor that he plays with, his character, the different moves that he does again, really technical with his hands. He just needs better plans for his counters after his initial moves don't work,

and he's got to be more discipline in the run game. But I had two bad things to say about Gabe Jackus right there. I would take him at 66. He might even go a little bit higher. Derek Moore is a guy a lot of you like out of Michigan, 6.3, 255, 33 and a third inch arms. He's 23 years old. Great bull rush, tons of power, big physical frame,

got different pass rush moves, really good in run defense. He's been productive. He just doesn't do anything excellent. He doesn't make splash plays in run defense. He doesn't have bend. He doesn't have counters to his power moves. He is just, I'm going to power, power, power power at you over and over all game long.

And I think that limits is upside, which is why he's probably an option at 66. His teammate, J. Sean Barham, is who I actually am more interested in. 6.3-240, 32 and 3 eighth inch arms, 22.2 years old, he is explosive, he's violent, he plays physical, strong hands with good pop, and he is an intense guy with high-up.

side. He doesn't have great bulk at 240, needs to add muscle. He was a former offball linebacker who got transition to edge, so he needs to work on his instincts, his rush plan, and at the end of the day, when you get moved positions that late, are you a tweener or are you versatile? He's going to be a full-time edge rusher because he doesn't have the ability. He doesn't have the ability to drop into coverage. He's not fluid enough of a mover to be a stand-up linebacker. So if he's going to be, he's like a discount R. Val Rees. That's what Jay Shambarum is like. He's a discount Rvel Reese.

Should be a better edge rusher, but really needs to be refined in that way. But at 66, maybe even 101, I would take a chance on that. The last guy here in the power section is Denny, Dennis Sutton, out of Penn State, who I know a lot of people like. 6.5, 256, 33 and a half inch arms. that's big, that's long, that's a good frame. He's a linear athlete, straight line, straight line speed. He'll be extra physical, strong hands, intense personality,

maybe too intense for some people. Some people have said that he's a cocky guy, arrogant type guy, very self-confident, but he backs it up with his work ethic. He truly does put in the work and expect greatness. And that type of personality trait in the Titans young culture could be important to them. He just, again, he's a linear athlete. Change your direction, wiggle, agility.

Just not there. He doesn't have dip and bend. He's just going to go straight through you with power. Not somebody you want out in space so he can't drop into coverage. So I'm not as high on Denny Dennis Sutton as some of you guys are. I don't quite see the fit as well. I would prefer again the speed rushers. But if they go with like a power rusher,

I like Gabe Joccus here at 66 for the Titans. Now, who could be available after that? L.T. Overton, he's like a John Franklin Myers, Danico Autry-type guy inside, outside. Could be a defensive tackle, could be a defensive end. He's not as good against the run, though, as a guy that big, should be Max Eluen, Iowa, I do believe it is. Great get-off at the line of scrimmage.

Good at setting up. offensive tackles when he's going towards him. Plays with great effort, but he's just terrible and run defense. Now, that may work for the Titans because they want a designated pass rusher. So maybe Max Illuan would make sense for them. Caden Curry out of Ohio State, real physical player, good motor. Might be a tweener though. Again, another inside, outside guy who might be a DT.

Probably needs to rush from the interior. I don't think that's what the Titans need. Maybe, you know, Tyreek Sapp is another guy in that mold. McAil Kamara. they checked with Tyree West from Tennessee. The edge rusher as well, Anthony Lucas, Anthony Vincent are names. But again, I think that the Tennessee Titans need to take an edge rusher on day two. So that's 35, that's 66, potentially a trade down in round two

where you get a couple extra third round picks. Edge rusher has to be a pick. And again, Malachi Lawrence, Cassius Howe, R. Mason Thomas, Joshua Josephs, Ramello Hyke, Keiron Crawford, Keldrick Falk, T.J. Parker, Zion Young, Gabe Jokas, Derek Moore, J. Sean Bartum, Dennis Sutton. I didn't even put Akeem Mesedore in there because I'm so out on him.

Like, those are the guys that the Titans need to hammer on. And if they get anybody other than those names, we're looking at a Jalen Harrell type player, not somebody who we can count on year one to come in and actually sack the quarterback, unless the Titans get super lucky. But that's going to do it for me today, folks. Let me know your favorite edge rushers down below

and make sure that you guys check out the Locked on Titans Every Day or Club. That's going to do it for me today though. Folks, as always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
