Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland. Titans fans, it is a Tuesday edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. And now that the dust has settled on the 2022 NFL draft, it is time to give out some draft grades for the Titans. I'm going to go through every single pick, give out a letter grade for every single selection, and I'm going to give out an overall grade for John Robinson's 2022 NFL Draft Hall.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Also, A.J. Brown was introduced as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, and some of his comments have me raising my eyebrow. So we'll dive into all of that and more on a Tuesday edition of the Locked On Titans podcast. Let's get it. You are Locked On Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Titans fans, it is a Tuesday edition of the Locked on Titans podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:25 We're doing NFL draft grades, going through every pick, every selection, giving out a letter grade, and giving a grade to the overall draft class. Also talking about A.J. Brown's interesting comments in his opening press conference with the Philadelphia Eagles. Before we get into all of that, I do want to remind you guys, I am the host of the Locked on Titans podcast. Tyler Rowland, been a Tennessee Titans fanatic for nearly 25 years, also a certified film junkie. We're going to be talking all the news and notes out of Nashville here on the Locked On Titans podcast, but I also look at everything through a schematic lens and we're breaking down the X's and O's not only during the regular season, but all year long. Thank you for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen every day. If this is your first ever listen, make sure you subscribe on whatever platform you do stream.

But with all that being said, going to be diving into my NFL draft grades. But the first pick for the Titans, trading up to pick 18 and getting Trelon Burks, Traylon Burks to say it correctly,
Starting point is 00:02:47 Traylon Burks. You can't evaluate the selection of Burks without evaluating what led to it. And of course, I mean the AJ Brown trade. There's no way to separate the selection of Burks from everything that took place with AJ Brown. There's no way to do that. And that's why I want to start our draft grade conversation with some of the comments that
Starting point is 00:03:11 A.J. Brown had when he came to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, literally about 30 minutes ago. A.J. Brown was introduced as a Philadelphia Eagle. I just want to go to the first comment that he had to say about what happened. AJ said that leading up to the trade, he just wanted to be appreciated for his work. So that's an interesting comment right there. But he has no bad blood with the Titans
Starting point is 00:03:38 as they drafted him and got his career going. That sounds all good, playing it right, makes sense, but there's been a back and forth as to whether or not A.J. Brown requested a trade. There's been a back and forth as to how much he was offered. There's A.J.'s side, which we got from Teron Davenport's article,
Starting point is 00:03:58 and then there is the other side, the Titan side, which we got from John Glennon and we got from Diana Rossini from ESPN. Well, this comment right here makes it hard for me to believe AJ's side of things AJ never once mentioned
Starting point is 00:04:16 that he requested a trade in his defense of himself to Teron Davenport so he was asked at the press conference on Monday AJ did you request a trade from the Titans? He said, I don't want to look back. Just want to move forward. Also said, I'm going to, I'm going to try not to get into all that. Guys, it's he said, she said. And whenever you go through a he said, she said situation,
Starting point is 00:04:50 you never get the real truth. But I'm sorry if you ask somebody about something, they say, oh, I don't want to live in the past. I'm just moving forward. Oh, I'm not going to get into all that. What does that mean? That means yes. That means yes.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Cut the crap. A.J. Brown requested a trade from the Titans. And you know, the more you look at it with Torrey Dandy and Debo Samuel being having the same agent as A.J. Brown, Torrey Dandy from CAA, you look at everything going on with the wide receivers
Starting point is 00:05:22 right now, it's obvious what happened. Torrey Dandy said, I'm going to get A.J. Brown as much money as he can possibly get. That's my obligation as his agent. He told A.J. to cut off communication with the team because the Titans started with a low offer to begin negotiations, which is normal.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And then he had A. had AJ force the issue. And I think it's funny that over the weekend, Odell Beckham Jr. is tweeting out, I know where Debo Samuel is going. That's an agent favor. Hey, Odell, tweet some stuff about Debo. Maybe it'll drum up some more interest. We'll get more out of him.
Starting point is 00:06:00 We'll get a bigger contract. I mean, honestly, I'm willing to even pontificate on the possibility that AJ's agent went out and found a team that would pay him the amount of money that he wanted to get AJ. And he said, hey AJ, there is a team out there that's going to give you $25 million a year. Force a trade from the Titans.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It could have been all worked out and put the Titans in a spot where, what are they going to do? They basically got backdoored. I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'm saying it sure looks like it, right? Because if you look at, go look at AJ's body language. He doesn't look like a guy who was vengeful. Doesn't look like a guy who was mad at the Titans personally. This does look, and I don't want to absolve AJ of wrongdoing here, but it does look like a completely orchestrated backdoor deal by Tory Dandy from CAA.
Starting point is 00:06:59 That's what it looks like. I don't know that for certain. I have no intel, but obviously AJ requested a trade. He got one low offer. And the agent said, hey, let's act like that's a disrespectful offer and not negotiate in good faith.
Starting point is 00:07:13 We'll just go out and I'll backdoor, find a way to find a team who will pay you what you want. And then we'll force a trade by requesting one outright before the draft. I mean, that's what it looks like right now. And AJ not saying anything to say otherwise basically confirms it, in my mind.
Starting point is 00:07:31 So, yeah, Aaron Stacey said, great point, Aaron. Seems like the agent is the common denominator. I'm not trying to absolve AJ of wrongdoing by blaming his agent for orchestrating everything. I'm not trying to absolve the Titans of wrongdoing. They maybe could have done more. Don't come with such a low offer. Maybe the Titans could have done more to keep him. But dear God, it sure looks like an orchestrated behind the scenes backdoor deal by Tory Dandy from CAA to get AJ to a place that would give
Starting point is 00:07:59 him the most money possible, even if it wasn't the best fit or the right move for AJ. Now, the agent's job, get the client the most money possible, because you know what that does for the agent? It gets the agent the most money possible. The agent is paid off what his client gets paid. But boy, this sure does seem
Starting point is 00:08:19 like something a little nefarious in my opinion. Either way, the Titans had to move on. It looks like their hand was forced. I blame them a little bit less now. And when we look at the two conflicting reports,
Starting point is 00:08:34 one from AJ, one from the Titans side, I can't help it, but I tend to lead towards the Titans side because AJ is not willing to deny the things that were accused of him in the Titans side of the story. So it sure does look like everything the Titans reported to Diana
Starting point is 00:08:50 and John Glennon sure seems to be true. But moving forward as the Titans did and as we need to do we're going to give out some NFL draft grades. I gave John Robinson's draft a B plus overall. I'm going to explain to you how I got there and the individual grade that I gave to each

But other than that, we are going to continue this NFL draft grade breakdown. We just talked about A.J. Brown, and we went long because A.J. had comments. And, man, I just can't help. I hate to put the tinfoil hat on and be tinfoil Tyler out here, but I just can't help but put two and two together
Starting point is 00:10:26 when I see stories like that. And real quickly, MF Loco, thoughts on DeHop. DeAndre Hopkins was suspended for six games for PED use. Be interesting to watch that breakdown, but we're going to get into these draft grades. Again, I gave John Robinson's draft overall a B+. I'm going to get into my individual grades for each player and how we actually arrived at that overall draft grade.
Starting point is 00:10:49 But before we do, I want to thank you guys again for making the Locked on Titans podcast your first listen every day. If this is your first ever listen, make sure you subscribe on whatever platform you do stream. I'm going to be putting out daily Monday through Friday free Tennessee Titans content on all podcast platforms, including the Locked on Titans YouTube channel, so make sure that you subscribe.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But moving into these draft grades, like I said, you can't separate the A.J. Brown situation from the Traylon Burks draft pick at 18. So for me, that's a B. I'm going to give that whole situation a B. And I want to come in here. Limit said, what stops your front office from doing the same thing again to Burks
Starting point is 00:11:29 if he's also good? Also, 80% isn't good enough because the Eagles traded Carson Wentz for Burks. Well, how the draft picks all get traded around, what it is for player to player, that doesn't really matter from the Titans' perspective. But yeah, what if the Titans, but look, the Titans paid Harold Landry.
Starting point is 00:11:45 The Titans paid Ryan Tannehill. The Titans paid Derrick Henry. The Titans paid Taylor LeJuan. The Titans paid Kevin Byard. The Titans paid Bud Dupree, an outside free agent. I mean, what do you want? The Titans paid Kevin Byard. The Titans pay people.
Starting point is 00:12:00 That's why, again, this situation looks like A.J. Brown's agent really did some back-deal dirty dealings and got A.J. out of there to get him more money, the most money possible. Just which team's going to give him the most money, I'm going to force a trade there. That's what it looked like happened. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I'm not going to blame the front office and act like the Titans are cheap and don't pay people. It's simply not true. It's just simply not bored out on what's happened since John Robinson's taken over. They pay people who deserve it. And they would have paid AJ if not for his agent. I truly do believe that. So, anyways, let's move into these grades.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I gave a B for Traylon Burks. He's a really good player who I liked. I thought he was a top fit for the Titans. But there's no way around it. This is a downgrade from A.J. Brown. It can't be ignored. Burks is underdeveloped as an outside wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:12:52 There's no way around it. This is a B. It can't be an A when the Titans have downgraded from A.J. Brown to Traylon Burks. It just can't be giving away your, in my opinion, your best player on your whole team, the MVP of your team last year, according to my awards, to opinion, your best player on your whole team, the MVP of your team last year, according to my awards, to give out the best player on your team,
Starting point is 00:13:08 even if you get a good player, even if you were forced to do it, all the circumstances, it still ends up as a B for me with Traylon Burks. Moving into the next one, though. Roger McCreary. I'm just going to give this a B as well. Yes, McCreary is a good player. Yes, I think he can find a role. But with the needs at wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:13:28 the needs at interior offensive line that weren't even addressed. Even edge rusher, a defensive lineman, I think if you're going to go defensive line or cornerback, I tend defensive line. So, I like McCreary. Again, I think
Starting point is 00:13:44 he's going to be a good player he's going to carve out a role for the Titans I truly do believe that he's going to carve out a role as a rookie and potentially grow going forward but his role early on is not clear cut it needs to be established and you can't ignore the need
Starting point is 00:14:02 there wasn't a huge need at cornerback compared to other positions. So with need and role being a little murky, even with McCreary being a good player, I got to give it a B. So it's a B for Burks. It's a B for McCreary. Now we get in to day two, the next two picks for the Titans here.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Number one, well, day two, McCreary continuing day two. Number two here is Nicholas Petit-Ferrer, the offensive tackle out of Ohio State. And for my grade on this one, I gave it a B+. At 69, to get one of the better offensive tackles, that is a great value to me. So value is there. The need, the Titans need offensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:14:46 They need offensive line depth youth anyways. Boom. There we go. And I think that NPF is just a perfect scheme fit for the Titans with his ability on combo blocks, getting up to the second level, executing at the second level. NPF, to me, easy
Starting point is 00:15:05 is a B+. So, we got a B for Burks, a B for McCreary, a B+, for Nicholas Petit-Ferrer. Then, of course, we cap off day two of the NFL draft with Malik Willis, which
Starting point is 00:15:22 guys, guess in the chat right now what grade I gave the Malik Willis pick at 86. Just throw some guesses in. Duh, an A+. I mean, think about it. The value of quarterback and a guy of his skill set. The potential that a guy of his skill set has. And really what it comes down to most,
Starting point is 00:15:44 the number one thing for me is, Jesse Johnson said F, great. The number one thing for me is the risk. What is the risk? Pick 86? When you had nine picks in the draft? The Titans had nine players in their draft class. And pick 86?
Starting point is 00:16:02 A high upside, the most upside of any quarterback in the draft at pick 86, when you had nine picks, there is literally no risk. There's no risk. I mean, what's the downside? If he's god-awful, and he's literally awful, then the Titans just have Ryan Tannehill again in 2023. And then after 2023, you get rid of Tannehill and
Starting point is 00:16:29 you don't have to keep Malik Willis. Pick 86. There's literally no risk here. There's no downside to the Malik Willis pick at all. So with his potential upside as a player, with the value that they got at pick 86.
Starting point is 00:16:47 With the risk, which is zero. And with the fit, with him being able to sit for a year and develop, which is the ideal situation for him as a player. It's ideal for the player. It's ideal for the team. There's no risk. There's all upside. It's an A+. It's an A+.
Starting point is 00:17:05 It is an A+. Draft pick. Hands down. No questions about it. No risk at all. So, love that. I'm seeing some comments here that I really like.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Reggie Robinson from SMU. If he's healthy, he can absolutely be a solid player. No risk. Jesse Johnson. Oh, okay. Smart move, although I don't think Malik will be a starter. Okay, Jesse. no risk Jesse Johnson oh okay smart move although I don't think
Starting point is 00:17:27 Malik will be a starter okay Jesse that's fair so let's Malik Willis does have a lot a lot of development to get through let's say Malik Willis
Starting point is 00:17:35 does not become a starting level player in the NFL it's pick 86 the Titans wasted pick what was it 29 on Isaiah Wilson
Starting point is 00:17:44 they wasted a huge contract on Beasley and Jadavion Clowney. They sent a second round pick for Julio Jones. So compared to the risk that those moves were and those picks were, this is nothing. This is nothing. So yeah, no risk that you can't hate on it. You can't. If you don't think he's going to be a good player,
Starting point is 00:18:05 then just say it sucks that he's not going to be a good player. But don't act like it was some great sacrifice the Titans made to get him at 86. They got nine players in their draft class. So, anyways, an A-plus for Willis. So where we're at right now, I got a B-plus overall grade for the draft. I got a B for Burks.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I got a B for McCreary. I got a B-plus for MPF. I got an A-plus for Mal I got a B for McCreary. I got a B plus for NPF. I got an A plus for Malik Willis and we are going to continue today's show breaking down draft grades and AJ Brown's comments. We are going to get into day three of the draft and I'm going to give out those grades

Starting point is 00:20:14 Get your national NFL news with the Locked On NFL podcast. You guys are throwing in a ton of comments. Number one, I want to ask for some help. The last few live streams I've done, my audio started going crazy at the end of the show. I'm trying to fix it, trying to do some technical touches here and there. So if the audio bugs out again, please tell me. I'm working through this. Started doing lives over the weekend for the draft. I'm listing help from you guys. We're doing this together. We're a team, me and you guys. So let me know if the audio starts to mess up. But you guys have got a ton of questions. So before we get into the last few draft grades,
Starting point is 00:20:48 I want to talk with you guys a little bit. Don't even, okay. Listen, I don't want to hate. I don't like to be vengeful. AJ Brown talks Titans trade. What? You missed the first segment, Connor. He had some comments. Basically, he wouldn't comment on whether or not he requested a trade or not from the Titans. He actually said he doesn't want to look at the past. He wants to move forward. He's not going to talk about that right now. So basically, AJ for sure requested a trade. What's he say?
Starting point is 00:21:16 You got money that. I mean, we get money. All right. Get money, boys. I don't know. I don't know what you're asking me there. I'm sorry. Okay, day three where J-Rob did his best work.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yes, exactly. So, getting into day three where J-Rob did, in fact, do his best work. Good call, Jameson. Oh, I like the way that name is spelled, too. Jameson. Anyways, three years of Spanish, baby. Get at me. But moving forward, day three great.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Hassan Haskins, out of Michigan, running back for me, B+. Good fit. The Titans needed a backup bruiser. I fully believe that. Special teams ability as well, so versatility. Versatility as a guy at the back end of the roster, which is going to be incredibly important to stick in on the team. Also, I think Haskins has some potential,
Starting point is 00:22:07 maybe not to be a starting back, but to be a really good bruising back in a rotation. So, hey, we don't want to think about this. I get it. But if Derrick Henry does break down, and let's say this is his last year of really full-on, all-pro, number one, first-team production. Maybe he gets another injury. I think the next version of the Titans running back room, which includes Hassan Askins as the
Starting point is 00:22:34 bruiser and then a new scat back guy with a little more talent, maybe. I'm putting that at the end of my priority list. Don't take that as the number one thing. But, but I think all the other things I said true. Good value there. Great fit. Special teams value. I'm giving a B plus to the Son Haskins pick. And then finally, my boy, Chigaconquo. Finally, we have made it. It's an A minus for me. Incredible potential. I mean, it's Jonu Smith 2.0. I hate to be lazy there, but it's just so obvious when you pop on the table. He's got a great fit for the position. The Titans have two guys in Jeff Swaim and Austin Hooper
Starting point is 00:23:11 who aren't the most explosive, who don't have great yards after the catch ability, who don't have great speed. Well, Akonkwo offers all that, so he's a great complement for the rest of the tight end room. It was a big need to get a young tight end in there. And at 143, incredible value as well to get a guy who I think could be one of the better tight ends in this class
Starting point is 00:23:32 all the way down at 143. That's a great value. So an A- for Chica Conquist. Next, Kyle Phillips at 163. It's a B for me. That's just a B. Yes, I'm excited about his ability in the slot. Punt returner, nearly 20 yards of punt return,
Starting point is 00:23:51 two punt return touchdowns of college. He's got that ability, that value, that adds to that special teams versatility that I said is going to be key for the back end of the roster. Not only that, but I think he's a guy who could come in and contribute right away in that Chester Rogers role. But here's my drawback and why he only got a B for me. The Titans needed to go wide receiver earlier than this. Yeah, they got Traylon Burks at 18. But I think when you
Starting point is 00:24:16 trade away A.J. Brown, just getting Traylon Burks does not cover it. Okay? That does not cover the need. And getting Traylon Burks and then getting Kyle Phillips doesn't quite cover it. If the Titans would have went with Traylon Burks and then follow that up with Sky Moore, then, yeah. Then that would have been sufficient
Starting point is 00:24:39 for me. But, I like Phillips. I like his versatility. I like what he can do as the slot as a new Chester Rogers, but considering I wanted the Titans to take another wide receiver, a second wide receiver a little earlier,
Starting point is 00:24:50 I can only come up with a B on that one as my grade. The last two grades, Theo Jackson out of Tennessee. I know a lot of you guys have a soft spot in your heart for him from the Tennessee connection, and then Chance Campbell. I'm giving sixth round picks a C+. They're dart throws, guys.
Starting point is 00:25:06 That's all a sixth-round pick is. And as we saw with Gracie McMath, and as we saw with Brady Breeze, and as we've seen with a Cole McDonald, or as we've seen with a Luke Falk, there are plenty of other sixth-round draft picks. The odds are they're probably not even going to make the Roth. So I can't give any kind of crazy grade on a sixth-round draft picks. The odds are they're probably not even going to make the roster. So I can't give any kind of crazy grade on a six round draft pick. I'm going to C plus
Starting point is 00:25:30 for both Theo Jackson and Chance Campbell. Not going to give it a C or lower because it's a dart throw and you never know what could happen. But at the same time, I can't give it too much higher than a C-plus either because these guys are most likely barely going to make the roster.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Probably not even make the roster. As Wes says down here, I agree with you, Wes. They're flyer picks. They're dart throws. No big deal about that. So, to wrap up our grades here, I'm going to go through one more time and recap all the grades that I've given out so far.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Traylon Burks, because you can't separate the Burks selection from the A.J. Brown trade. That's a B for me. Next, Roger McCreary, a B for me. Very good player, but the need at the position, his defined role as a rookie, it's a bit murky, although good potential there. That's a B for me. Nicholas Petit Ferrer, a B+. A guy who fits the scheme perfectly in his skill set. Good value
Starting point is 00:26:32 at pick 69. Nice. And a need. A need for the Titans. Excuse me. Next, Malik Willis. If you say anything other than an A+, you're a lie. All right?
Starting point is 00:26:48 What do the kids say nowadays? Cap. That's cap, bro. Malik Willis. Perfect value. Zero risk. Great potential. Perfect fit.
Starting point is 00:27:00 There is no downside. Malik Willis, an A+. Hassan Haskins, a B+. Good fit. Special team's value. Potential to be important down the road. Chigga Conquo, an A-. Potential. Positional fit.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Diversity in the tight end room. Fits a need and great value as well. Kyle Phillips, a B. Slot potential. Hunt return versatility. Good value late in the draft, but could have went wide receiver a little earlier in my opinion. Theo Jackson and Chance Campbell at the end in the sixth round, C-plus is for me, both of them.
Starting point is 00:27:37 So, again, this led to a B-plus overall grade for the Tennessee Titans in the draft. And actually, I just kind of went through and gave my grades just what I think they were. And then I thought B-plus after I looked at all the grades I gave out. But then I decided to get a little more quantifiable. I like to quantify things. I like to put numbers to things.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So if you go from an A-plus all the way down to the F, where you go A-plus, A, A-minus, B-plus, B, B an A-plus all the way down to the F, where you go A-plus, A, A-minus, B-plus, B, B-minus, all the way down to F, it's 13 different spots. So if an A-plus is a 13, and an F is a 1, and you go through and you go B for Burks, B for McCreary,
Starting point is 00:28:20 B-plus for MPF, A-plus for Willis, B-plus for Haskins, a Conquo, A-minus, B for Phillips, C plus and C plus for Jackson and Campbell respectively. And that's 85 total points. You divide that by nine selections. It's a 9.4 and a 9.4 is right between a B and a B plus, which I gave it a B plus.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And if I had to go in between B and B+, that would be more accurate. So, hey, whether you want to quantify it with numbers, whether you want to go off just my general opinion, it all lines up. I give the Titans a B+, for the 2022 NFL Draft, a B for Burks, a B for McCreary, a B+, for MPF, an A+, for Willis, a B+, for Haskins, A- for Oconquo, B for Phillips, C plus for Jackson and Campbell. There you guys go.
Starting point is 00:29:08 That's my grades for the Titans draft. Now, coming up on Wednesday, I'm going to go over the undrafted free agents that the Titans have picked up. I've seen a ton of people talking about Reggie Robinson Jr. Yep, excited about that. Haskell Garrett, I'm excited
