The wait for the Tennessee Titans to draft a wide receiver in the 2023 NFL draft continues after the team opted to go with a tight end in Josh Whyle out of Cincinnati instead.
While Whyle can be an asset to help the Titans’ passing game, he’s going to be a No. 2 tight end who isn’t considered a strong blocker by some draft experts, which isn’t ideal for his projected role.
Making the pick more frustrating is the fact that there were some promising wide receiver prospects still on the board, with A.T. Perry and Xavier Hutchinson being the best among them.
Tennessee’s avoidance of the wide receiver position is comical at this point, although one could certainly argue that was the case after their Day 2 picks.
There was still optimism about the pick coming from some, but fans appear to be mostly against the selection of Whyle in the fifth round. Take a look.
