Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans Miss on Chase Young, Host Andrus Peat, Path to Joe Alt & Marvin Harrison Jr.

Episode Date: March 18, 2024

We got a lot of Tennessee Titans free agent news on Monday with some good and some bad. First, the Titans miss out on Chase Young as he goes to the Saints, but the Titans did host offensive tackle And...rus Peat on a visit which is where their focus needs to be. Next, the Titans desperately need offensive line help and Joe Alt is the best fit in the draft. Luckily for the Titans, the path to taking Joe Alt at seven got clearer this weekend. Finally, there is massive Malik Nabers buzz currently, but Titans fans shouldn't let that trick them into thinking Marvin Harrison Jr. will slide. Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans 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 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Tennessee Titans miss out on Chase Young, so they must turn their attention to offensive tackle. I'll explain why on today's edition of the Locked On Titans podcast.

The Tennessee Titans do miss out on Chase Young, but they had another free agent visit on Monday with Andrus Peet, the offensive lineman formerly from the New Orleans Saints. And I think that's exactly where their focus needs to be. We'll talk about that. Plus, why the path to Joe All is clear.
Starting point is 00:01:12 And could Marvin Harrison Jr. really drop to number seven? We're going to discuss all of that before we get into it.

And make sure you guys go check out my Calvin Ridley film breakdown on the Tic Tac Titans YouTube channel. Excited for you guys to see that. But with all that being said, it is time to dive in here again. Chase Young will sign with the New Orleans Saints. He moved his visits back a little bit, went and saw his first visit,
Starting point is 00:02:01 which was the Saints on Monday, and has decided to sign with them one year, $13 million fully guaranteed at that price. I got to tell you, I don't think that it's insane that the Tennessee Titans decided to pass if they probably didn't get the opportunity to pass whatever at $13 million fully guaranteed for one year with what the risks are with Chase. I'm okay with the Titans, you know, missing out on that opportunity, I guess, let's say, because the Titans have turned their attention where it needs to be, and that is at offensive tackle, where they had a visit on Monday with veteran offensive lineman
Starting point is 00:02:39 Andrews Peet. He has been with the Saints throughout his entire career. He's played a ton on the left side of the offensive line. He's played 2,000 snaps in his career, over 2,000 snaps at left tackle, over 4,000 snaps at left guard. He's had 6,152 snaps total. So basically his entire career, he's been on the left side of the offensive line. And ultimately, if the Titans want to get use out of Andrews Peay,
Starting point is 00:03:06 if they decide to sign him, again, it's just a visit. But if they decide to sign him, it's definitely going to be somebody who they should count on to have on the left side of the offensive line. Peay is 6'7", 320 pounds, 30 years old, though. He's a guy who has had ups and downs throughout his career he was an athletic guy coming out of college had an 8.54 ras score a relative athletic score just a combination of all the combine stuff with measurements and testing all that so an athletic guy
Starting point is 00:03:36 with really long arms over 34 inch arms he's got strong hands he's got good length good height of course a decent athlete doesn't move his feet well, but he can get around a little bit. The thing is, like I mentioned, he is only really going to help you on the left side. I know that Bill Callahan has had success in the past, moving guys from one side of the offensive line to the other. But at this point, Pete is 30 years old. He's played, again, 6,000 snaps in his NFL career, basically all of them on the left side of the offensive line.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I think it would be risky to expect top production from Andrews Pete, his top level of production, not even top in the NFL, just the best version of Pete. I don't know if you get that if you put him on the right side of the offensive line. He's also a guy who struggled with penalties throughout his career. He's allowed three, four, five sacks a season, basically his entire career.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Again, he also is 30 years old. So it's not like a young player who you're hoping to get some potential out of, like maybe you would get with a Josh Jones. And he's best on the left side and only the left side. So to me, if you sign Pete, I don't know that that is your answer at right tackle, but what I think it gives you is insurance going into the NFL draft. I'm calling Andrews Pete Joe all insurance. That's what he is to me because I think the Titans still need to look for a right
Starting point is 00:04:57 tackle. And if they don't think they need to look for one, it's because they think Nicholas Petit Ferrer, Jalen Duncan, Dylan Radins could be a right tackle. Maybe even Sadiq Charles, I guess, could be an option there. I think the Titans would be playing with fire by doing that, but maybe you only solve one tackle position. Maybe you want to take a wide receiver early in the draft, and then you want to get a right tackle later in the draft. I don't think they should do it, but maybe the Titans want to trade down a couple of picks. later in the draft. I don't think they should do it, but maybe the Titans want to trade down a couple of picks. Pick up Fitanu, pick up Fuwaga, pick up Mims, pick up Latham. Guys that have had more experience at right tackle and maybe are better served at right tackle, maybe that's their
Starting point is 00:05:36 plan. And then they can have Pete play left tackle for this year and address that down the line, or maybe take a development guy later in the draft who can play left tackle down the road. So I think there are a ton of options either way. If the Titans don't get Joe Alt at pick number seven, they can go to Andrews Pete, who again played mostly left guard in his career, but played pretty well at left tackle for the Saints at times last year in 2023 and played left tackle early on in his career. So I think the Titans should be focusing on left tackle. They should be focusing on offensive tackle, especially now with Chase Young out of the picture.
Starting point is 00:06:13 If you're not going to get a high level, high upside guy on defense, then you need to solidify this offensive line with more veterans and guys who can potentially play tackle. If you miss out on guys early in the draft, again, like Joe Alt. But here's what I do want to say. If the Titans do sign Andrews Pete, which they haven't yet, but they probably will, I think it would make sense, you can't let that stop you from drafting Joe Alt. Okay? Because either way, if Pete has to be a starter,
Starting point is 00:06:44 okay, then he's a starter. But at minimum, at minimum, he can be somebody who pushes Joe Alt on the left side. Like, hey, we're not just going to hand it to you, rookie. You're going to have to fight for it a little bit. I like having a guy. And let's be honest, more than that, I mean, if Joe Alt is drafted number seven,
Starting point is 00:07:00 he should be expected to be the starting left tackle. But injuries happen. We know that as Tennessee Titans fans. So having as much depth on the offensive line as possible cannot be a bad idea. So whether Skowronski gets injured or Ault gets injured, two young players, you have a guy in Pete who can play left guard, who can play left tackle.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Again, this is why offensive tackle needs to be their focus because like we talked about on yesterday's show, and my everydayers will remember, finding out what you have in Will Levis this year is the most important thing. I do not expect the Titans to win a Super Bowl this year. So finding out what you have in Levis is ultimately the most important thing,
Starting point is 00:07:37 and you've got to shore up the offensive line. And I feel uncertain about things right now, especially if you go in with a starting left tackle and right tackle that are both rookies. So having a guy like Pete is a little bit of insurance, and then maybe developing one of the guys that's already on the roster who you can maybe play at some right tackle too. That'll be very important for the Titans going forward and probably an X factor for their season. But the Titans are also still set to have a visit with Marcus May, the safety. Titans really need safety help. I mean, if they don't get Marcus May,
Starting point is 00:08:07 Justin Simmons is still out there. Jamal Adams, I guess. He's not really a coverage guy, so I think you would need Kayvon Wallace to be paired with him if you have the opportunity. At offensive tackle, Mekhi Becton's still out there. Charles Leno, I guess,
Starting point is 00:08:21 if you want to go real old on the left side. Josh Jones, now you have George Fant off the market. Missed that over the weekend, but Fant goes to the Seattle Seahawks, so that's not an option. Trent Brown, still out there. Again, a lot of this stuff is fluid. It's free agency. By the time you hear this, certain times, certain guys could be gone. The Titans need to focus on offensive tackle. With Chase Young going to edge, maybe a reunion with Clowney who played well with the Ravens last
Starting point is 00:08:48 year, Kyle Vannoy who's older but played well with the Ravens last year, Denard Wilson knows. I mean, options are slim. So the Titans really need to focus on offensive tackle where there are still options. But I still think Joe Ault will be available for the Titans and the path got
Starting point is 00:09:03 clearer over the weekend. So I'll explain how the Titans got a better shot at Joe Alt based on other NFL moves before I get into it.

Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about why the Titans need to focus on offensive tackle in free agency going forward and what happened with Chase Young and then the new visit with Andrews Pete.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Now I want to move forward and talk about how the Titans path to Joe All at number seven got a lot clearer over the weekend. Excited to dive into that. We'll talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. Who, according to recent draft buzz, may not be wide receiver one. We'll talk about that at the end of the show.

Starting point is 00:11:48 on Locked On Sports Today, 24-7 streaming channel on YouTube or on the free Amazon Fire TV channels app. So let's just go pick by pick here and talk about how the Titans' path to Joe Alt got even clearer because we talked about Andrews Peet being Joe Alt insurance, but the Titans still need to focus on getting Joe Alt got even clearer. Because we talked about Andrews Peet being Joe Alt insurance, but the Titans still need to focus on getting Joe Alt. Again, I do not believe that Marvin Harrison Jr. will realistically be available for the Titans.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I just have a hard time believing that, even with all the recent buzz that we're going to talk about. But I think Joe Alt is still the best realistic option for the Titans, and the path got even clearer. Number one, the Chicago Bears. They traded Justin Fields. They're taking a quarterback. I mean, everybody knew that, if you're honest,
Starting point is 00:12:33 but I guess not because there was a lot of Bears fans and YouTube comments and on Twitter who were just acting like there was no way the Bears were trading Justin Fields, and it's like, it was so obvious. So if you're somebody who thought that the Bears weren't trading Justin Fields and we're going to not pick Caleb Williams, just use this as a learning experience.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Washington, they signed Marcus Mariota as their backup. That's not a serious option. They traded Sam Howell. That's not a serious option. I don't care what anybody tells you. I don't care what anybody tells you. I don't care what anybody says. It's going to go Caleb Williams, Drake May, one, two. There's no way I believe anything else. And if not Drake May, if I'm wrong about that, it's at least going to be Jaden Daniels. There's no way Washington passes on the quarterback there. New England,
Starting point is 00:13:18 there it does get interesting. New England could consider taking a position player other than quarterback, but they signed Jacoby Brissett, and that's not a long-term answer. And I think that taking Jaden Daniels at number three and letting him sit behind Jacoby Brissett for a year is exactly what the Patriots need to do as they build their roster because I think it would be dangerous to put any rookie quarterback behind that roster. So to me, it's going QB, QB, QB.
Starting point is 00:13:46 And whether it's J.J. McCarthy in there instead of one of the— I don't care. It's going QB, QB, QB. And we see with the Bears, the Commanders, and the Patriots, they have made moves to signify that they're taking a quarterback. All right? So that makes me feel good there. Then, Arizona.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Look at what Arizona has done. They went out and they signed Jonah Williams. And every reporter who reported the Jonah Williams deal said the Cardinals are signing Jonah Williams, who they plan to play at right tackle as they move Paris Johnson full-time to left tackle. So if they have a full-time left tackle who they drafted number six in the draft last year, they traded back up to draft number six in the draft last year at left tackle
Starting point is 00:14:32 and Paris Johnson. And you just gave the biggest offensive tackle deal and guaranteed money to Jonah Williams to play right tackle. Jonah Williams is not going to play guard. So why would they take Joe Alt? Why would they do that? Why would they do that? They wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:14:51 So the first three teams, if New England doesn't take quarterback, they're going to take a wide receiver, right? So the first four teams, three quarterbacks, or wide receiver at three, Arizona not taking offensive tackle after doing that. Not worried about that there. And if Minnesota jumps up, they just traded for number 23 with the Texans. So they have 11 and 23 and no quarterback
Starting point is 00:15:16 at all. So Minnesota might jump up in the top four and the top five. And then it just increases the likelihood that Joe Ault isn't drafted there because they're obviously going to want a quarterback. And then you get to the Chargers. And that's where the real worry kicks in. And when we talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. in a second, that's where the whole theory hinges on. We'll talk about the Chargers.
Starting point is 00:15:38 But they just cut Mike Williams and traded Keenan Allen. Quentin Johnston could get better, could improve, but he looked like a bust last year. You can't count on him to be your true number one wide receiver. There's nothing about what he did in his rookie year to make you think that. So based on what we saw with cutting Mike Williams and trading Keenan Allen, the Chargers have to take a wide receiver, right? Especially with having Marvin Harrison Jr. maybe available
Starting point is 00:16:06 if four quarterbacks go. With having Malik Nabors available, Roma, Dunzey, they have their pick of the wide receivers potentially. Brock Bowers even, as someone who can catch the football, somebody. I mean, I know that the Chargers could still take Joe Ault. That's the biggest worry. But, I mean, with what they've done, how could you not think that they're taking wide receiver?
Starting point is 00:16:29 That has to be the prevailing thought at minimum. So the chances of the Chargers passing on Joe Ault went up over the weekend with the moves that they've made. So that's great news. And then you get to the Giants, who have Andrew Thomas at left tackle, who's a good left tackle. They're not drafted Joe all over Andrew Thomas, who they took in the top five of the draft a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:16:55 He's been really good. And then they went out and signed Jermaine Illuminor, a guy who we thought could be a candidate for the Titans right tackle spot. So you have the Cardinals and the Giants both going out and signing right tackles. And then you have the Chargers cut Mike Williams and trade Keenan Allen. You have Minnesota trade for number 23 to prepare for a big move up the board
Starting point is 00:17:18 to take another quarterback in the top five or six. You have New England and Washington not getting any kind of long-term option at quarterback. And then the Bears traded Justin Fields. Arizona signs a right. I mean, all of this lines up perfectly for the Titans to draft Joe Ault. And you get Joe Ault at seven,
Starting point is 00:17:42 but you have Pete behind him as a veteran backup who can also play left guard if Skowronski were to get injured or Alt gets injured. It's just the Titans need to have a much better offensive line this year. So I know right now we're all in the mode of worrying about starting lineups, but if you think about Andrus Pete as your swing tackle, as your number five or six offensive lineman behind a guy like Joe All, that's great. And if something crazy happens and the Titans can't get their hands on Joe All at number seven, well now at least you have somebody with starting experience, 2,000 snaps at left tackle, played pretty solid last year, who can stem the tide. And then you draft a right tackle in the second round
Starting point is 00:18:21 or after a trade back in the first round. And you at least have a young tackle on the offensive line who you're building around, and then you have a veteran at the other spot, which if you think about it, I want Joe Alt at left tackle and a veteran at right tackle. That's the same thing anyways. And then ultimately, again, the Bill Callahan magic cannot be denied, and maybe he can sprinkle some on Andrus Peet and get him to play right tackle for the first time in his entire career.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Maybe that's an option too, even though it's the least likely, in my opinion. But with that being said, we do got to talk about this Marvin Harrison Jr. thing because the buzz around Malik Nabors got really, really loud on Monday. So we'll talk about that next.

Starting point is 00:20:33 Titans fans, let's continue and cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We talked about the Titans free agent visits, one with Chase Young that didn't happen, one with Andrews Peet on Monday, one that's expected to happen with Marcus May at safety. The Titans need to focus on Joe Alt insurance at offensive tackle, but the path to Joe Alt got even
Starting point is 00:20:50 clearer over the weekend. We went over why that was with each team ahead of the Titans, but now we got to talk about this crazy Malik neighbors buzz and the Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick number seven conversation. Before we get into it, thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day,
Starting point is 00:21:06 Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free. Make sure you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It's your team every day. But there was, again, Malik Nabors' conversation run rampant on Monday from two very good draft analysts. And I'm going to throw two tweets up on the screen, but don't worry, podcast folks.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I'm reading them out to you. Don't worry. But Daniel Jeremiah, at MoveTheSticks on Twitter, obviously one of the best draft entertainment analysts in the NFL, or in the world, really, said, Daniel Jeremiah says on Twitter, I wouldn't be shocked if Neighbors, Malik Neighbors, wide receiver at LSU,
Starting point is 00:21:50 ended up being the first wide receiver off the board. I love Marvin Harrison Jr. and Romo Dunze, but Neighbors brings a different element. It'll come down to preference of style, but I guarantee some teams will have Neighbors at the top of the list. Dane Brugler, who is my favorite draft analyst, retweeted that and said, 100% true. Neighbors has been viewed as wide receiver one
Starting point is 00:22:18 for several teams since the season. And that says more about neighbors than anything else. He's a special talent. Okay. Okay. I get it. And I, as Tyler Rowland, host of the Locked on Titans podcast, I am not in a position to tell Dane Brooklyn and Daniel Jeremiah that they are wrong about their assessment
Starting point is 00:22:46 of where Malik Nabors is ranked. Alright? There's no way that I'm going to do that. But, here's what I do know. That every year, as we get close to the draft, certain things get misconstrued. Like last year CJ Stroud
Starting point is 00:23:08 was my number one quarterback the whole time he's QB1 he's the best thrower of the football of any of these guys and then the S2 score comes out and people start wondering about the S2 score and all of that,
Starting point is 00:23:26 and next thing you know, C.J. Stroud goes number two. Okay? So I'm just saying that there are always examples of people get bored. There becomes fatigue. We've talked about how awesome Marvin Harrison Jr. is and how elite he is for two straight seasons. Now we get closer to the draft and it's just not as exciting to talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:51 So we start talking about Malik Nabors more. Malik Nabors is awesome. I want Malik Nabors on the Titans. I would love if the Titans came home with Malik Nabors. If they get one of Marvin Harrison Jr., Joe Ault, Malik Nabors, and Roma Dunze, I'm going to be happy. All right? No matter what.
Starting point is 00:24:10 So it's not hate on Malik Neighbors, but I'm just saying I think Marvin Harrison Jr. is generational talent. I think there's no way in the world that Marvin Harrison Jr. falls to the Titans at seven. Like, so let's just, let me humor it.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I will, and people say I'm wishy-washy because of stuff like this, but I'm just humoring the other side of the argument here. Caleb Williams goes number one to Chicago, Drake May to Washington, Jaden Daniels to New England. Let's say Arizona takes Malik Neighbors
Starting point is 00:24:42 because they like Neighbors more. The Chargers still take Joe Alt. They want to run the football and this is where the whole thing hinges on is the Chargers. There's no way that the Chargers would take Joe Alt instead of Marvin Harrison Jr. There's just no way.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Everybody is reporting that the Chargers want to run the football and Greg Roman is the OC and they don't care about wide receiver. They want to establish dominance on the offensive line. Trey Pimpkins isn't good enough. But they're taking all. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:13 All right. All right. So let's say they do. Minnesota comes down, takes JJ McCarthy. Because if the Giants stay there, they're taking Marvin Harrison Jr. There's no way. So let's say Minnesota trades up to six.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I mean, again, this is how unrealistic of a scenario it would be for Marvin Harrison Jr. to then be there at number seven for the Titans. Four quarterbacks, and let's do it a different way. Four quarterbacks go in the top four. The Chargers take all, and then the Giants take neighbors. Titans take Marvin Harrison Jr. I guess you can hold on to that hope if you want. But I just refuse to believe that that's possible.
Starting point is 00:25:53 That a player of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s caliber could drop that far. I just, I have a hard time thinking that. Because if, let me just say this. If Marvin Harrison Jr. is on the board like I don't care who else is there Marvin Harrison jr. is my number one player in the draft period no question it's Marvin Harrison jr. number one Joe
Starting point is 00:26:18 alt number two and I have I'm all over the Joe alt pick I'm the leader of the alt cult because I don't think there's any way that Marvin Harrison Jr. will get to No. 7. I'm not even entertaining that as a possibility. So, it's pretty simple to me. If Marvin Harrison Jr. is available at pick No. 7, you run. And even though the Titans just signed Calvin Ridley,
Starting point is 00:26:42 there's no way that I'm taking somebody else over Marvin Harrison Jr. anyway because one, both the Titans wide receivers are going to be 30 in their 30s. Marvin Harrison Jr. is a true X wide receiver. Line him up on the line of scrimmage, isolated by himself for a decade and let him dominate. Then you got Calvin Ridley who's in the Z role who can move around and be the movement receiver. And then you let Hopkins be your big physical slot wide receiver
Starting point is 00:27:09 in the Tyler Boyd role that they had in Cincinnati. He would be an even better version. That would be insane. And then you still have pick number 38. You combine that with pick 107, move up, get J.C. Latham, Armarius Mims. I'm just saying. You could get real crazy there.
Starting point is 00:27:32 You could get real crazy. Even if you don't do that, having Marvin Harrison Jr. at seven, make no mistake about it, just because the Titans signed Calvin Ridley doesn't mean that they should not go get Marvin Harrison Jr. if he's at seven. But again, I think it's illogical. I think you're pretending if you think that he's actually going to drop to seven.
Starting point is 00:27:50 If you're telling me that the Titans maybe move up to five, then sure, whatever. I don't think that would be a smart move to jump up to five for anything other than quarterback, which they're not doing. So don't trade up. But man, I guess you could argue it's more possible now
Starting point is 00:28:07 with the quarterback news and all that, but no way. Again, the more realistic path is most certainly Joe Ault. Hard to envision Marvin Harrison Jr. dropping that far with the Cardinals and the Chargers and the Giants ahead. It's just implausible to me, even if, you know, the Malik neighbors buzz is hot and heavy right now but with that being said and again Malik neighbors buzz only helps the Titans path
Starting point is 00:28:30 to Joe Walt even more so again that goes back to what I think is more realistic there of course and that's Joe Walt which I cannot wait for and I certainly hope for but with that being said that is going to do it for today's edition of the Locked On Titans podcast hopefully we have some more free agent news tomorrow talk about a that is going to do it for today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Hopefully, we have some more free agent news tomorrow. Talk about a potential trail in Berkstreet. As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland. And this was Locked on Titans.
