Loser: Titans’ defense
While there are no doubt some positives to the Wilson pick, it’s certainly fair to say there are more negatives.
Yes, the Titans could use a right tackle for the future, but there were bigger needs for the Titans to fill right now on the defensive side of the ball, like at cornerback, for example.
And, the Titans had cornerbacks like TCU’s Jeff Gladney and LSU’s Kristian Fulton both staring them in the face at No. 29. But instead of going with versatile defenders who can make their defense better right now by filling the need in the slot in 2020, the Titans went with Wilson.
Even a player like Auburn defensive lineman/EDGE Marlon Davidson would have made more sense in that spot after the trade of Jurrell Casey and with the potential future departure of DaQuan Jones, who is a free agent in 2021.
It’s likely Tennessee will focus on adding a corner at the end of the second round, however it’s unlikely the players available will be as good as those the team passed on at No. 29 overall.
