NC State kicker Brayden Narveson is one of the more intriguing additions. Narveson will attempt to push Nick Folk in training camp.&lt;/p&gt;

  28. &lt;p id="jdsp0x"&gt;Narveson converted 18-of-23 attempts throughout the latest college football campaign for a conversion rate of 78.3%. Narveson showcased elite leg strength by making a season-high 57-yard kick. For his career, Narveson made 71-of-91 kicks (78%).&lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;p id="cYR0RX"&gt;Narveson was a graduate student at NC State that previously played at Western Kentucky. That connection made him eligible to attend the Titans’ local pro day workout. Independent sources confirmed to Music City Miracles that Narveson put forth an impressive showing at the local day, which is where Tennessee’s interest in him was elevated. Titans special teams coach Colt Anderson was especially impressed with Narveson’s workout.&lt;/p&gt;
  30. &lt;p id="TAxhBi"&gt;Narveson faces an uphill battle trying to dethrone Folk. It’s worth remembering many felt the same when Ryan Stonehouse entered a training camp battle with Brett Kern. You never know. General manager Ran Carthon will eventually require a succession plan for the aging Folk. Narveson will attempt to prove he’s a long-term solution.&lt;/p&gt;

Temple tight end David Martin-Robinson is one of two undrafted tight ends joining the Titans. Martin-Robinson is an athletic pass catcher that had a productive season in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

  61. &lt;/div&gt;
  62. &lt;p id="QsP6Su"&gt;Martin-Robinson is an older prospect that spent six seasons at Temple. That’s not uncommon for an undrafted free agent. Martin-Robinson was a slightly undersized prospect (6-3, 247) that recorded 40 receptions for 537 receiving yards and four touchdowns.&lt;/p&gt;
  63. &lt;p id="KfrSBu"&gt;Martin-Robinson is an impressive athlete. At Temple’s Pro Day, he ran an outstanding 4.65 40-yard dash with an elite 10-yard split (1.54). Martin-Robinson also ran an elite 4.08 shuttle, leaped a 35.5 inch vertical, and 9-foot-10 broad jump. Martin-Robinson.’s 8.73 out of 10 Relative Athletic Score makes him the second-most athletic UDFA to sign in Tennessee, trailing just &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/4/30/24145459/titans-2024-udfa-primer-cole-spencer-is-tennessees-high-priced-addition"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cole Spencer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  64. &lt;p id="IkvLR6"&gt;The Titans are in the market for third (and maybe fourth) string tight ends. Chig Okonkwo and Josh Whyle are the only tight ends on the team guaranteed a roster spot, and Whyle ended the season on IR. Martin-Robinson appears to be in contention with Thomas Odukoya and another undrafted free agent tight end for a 53-man spot.&lt;/p&gt;
  65. &lt;div id="Fv5lx2"&gt;
  66. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  67. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;David Martin-Robinson is a TE prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 8.73 &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAS?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#RAS&lt;/a&gt; out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 153 out of 1199 TE from 1987 to 2024. &lt;a href="https://t.co/RNfNCa8SlI"&gt;https://t.co/RNfNCa8SlI&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/suDktDAM5n"&gt;pic.twitter.com/suDktDAM5n&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1780954433846681962?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 18, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  95.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;SHOCKER!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="QY02EZ"&gt;Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/a&gt; have declined the fifth-year option on CB Caleb Farley:&lt;/p&gt;
  96. &lt;div id="VOQtzh"&gt;
  97. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  98. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; plan to decline the fifth-year option on cornerback Caleb Farley, per source. This was expected after Farley played 12 games (two starts) since 2021.&lt;/p&gt;— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1786107016139735217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 2, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  99. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  100. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  101.  
  102. &lt;/div&gt;
  103. &lt;p id="uMcouH"&gt;No surprise here. The Farley experiment has been a huge bust. Who could have seen a player who had multiple back surgeries in college having trouble staying healthy in the NFL? Oh, everyone you say? Well, apparently everyone with the exception of Jon Robinson. &lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="OXttS9"&gt;I could be wrong, but I have always thought the success Jeffery Simmons had coming off a major injury made Robinson think he could get lightning to strike twice and hit with Farley. Spoiler alert: It did not.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="5R15uZ"&gt;Robinson’s hit rate of 5th-year options is a big part of the reason that he is no longer the general manager in Tennessee. He was the general manager for seven drafts with the Tennessee Titans and made eight first-round picks:&lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="ovGDzC"&gt;2016: Jack Conklin&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p id="vjdjlD"&gt;2017: Corey Davis&lt;/p&gt;
  108. &lt;p id="TIlr4I"&gt;2017: Adoree Jackson&lt;/p&gt;
  109. &lt;p id="fnSOwQ"&gt;2018: Rashaan Evans&lt;/p&gt;
  110. &lt;p id="AiepYC"&gt;2019: Jeffery Simmons&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;p id="JdSopf"&gt;2020: Isaiah Wilson&lt;/p&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="x3aAfz"&gt;2021: Caleb Farley&lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;p id="VEAEkv"&gt;2022: Treylon Burks&lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="W2mF2M"&gt;Only two of those guys, Jackson and Simmons, had their fifth-year options picked up, and they ended up cutting Jackson before he ever played on his. Burks has yet to reach the point where they have to make a decision on his option, but I think it’s safe to say the Titans will not be picking it up.&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="lAAuCl"&gt;Farley is set to play on the final year of his rookie contract in 2024. He will have some work to do to make the team.&lt;/p&gt;

  135.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Titans are slated to host a veteran receiver on a free-agent visit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="opQ8gm"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are scheduled to host free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd on a visit. It was reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, who claims Boyd recently visited the &lt;a href="https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles Chargers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The Titans could be in the market for a veteran slot receiver.&lt;/p&gt;
  136. &lt;div id="h4zu8t"&gt;
  137. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  138. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Free agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd was in Los Angeles this week to meet with the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Chargers?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Chargers&lt;/a&gt; and will also head to the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; later this week, per source, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Market should heat up for Boyd, who has 513 catches for 6,000 yards over eight seasons in Cincinnati. &lt;a href="https://t.co/7bMUcM89KK"&gt;pic.twitter.com/7bMUcM89KK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1785775137704304938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 1, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  141.  
  142. &lt;/div&gt;
  143. &lt;p id="uZslWG"&gt;Boyd spent the previous five seasons (2019-23) playing in Brian Callahan’s offense with the &lt;a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cincinnati Bengals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Boyd accumulated 361 receptions for 4.144 yards and 21 touchdowns across those five seasons. In Boyd’s first season playing under Callahan, he recorded a single-season career-high 1,046 yards. It was Boyd’s second consecutive 1,000 yard showing. There’s obviously a lot of familiarity between Boyd and Callahan.&lt;/p&gt;
  144. &lt;p id="sW8Wnb"&gt;Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins will start on the boundary for the Titans in 2024. The slot position is currently up for grabs, with the likes of Kyle Philips, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Mason Kinsey &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/TDavenport_NFL/status/1778116319218405701"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt; to be in contention. To date, Treylon Burks has not been mentioned as an option at that position.&lt;/p&gt;

  147. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;When asked about the WR group Brian Callahan mentioned how the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; need someone to emerge as a slot WR. He pointed to Kyle Philips, Mason Kinsey, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. But no mention of Treylon Burks. &lt;a href="https://t.co/mlL6da0HgR"&gt;pic.twitter.com/mlL6da0HgR&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/TDavenport_NFL/status/1778116319218405701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 10, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  152. &lt;p id="XQfGPq"&gt;The Titans also didn’t draft a receiver in the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;2024 NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; until the sixth round. &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/4/27/24142857/titans-2024-draft-picks-tennessee-selects-jhaquan-jackson-wr-tulane-in-the-sixth-round"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jha’Quan Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; projects as a receiver that can occasionally play in the slot, but the former Tulane standout may not be an every-down player at that position. Jackson will make a bigger impact on special teams.&lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;p id="PxoqlH"&gt;The aging Boyd isn’t in his prime anymore, but he’s still a veteran starting-caliber receiver. Given Boyd’s familiarity with Callahan’s scheme, he projects as an upgrade in a pass-happy offense with Will Levis at the helm. Boyd would be a quality signing.&lt;/p&gt;

  172.  
  173.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Titans signed undrafted defensive end Khalid Duke to a contract that contains notable guarantees&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="HYfmpD"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; have allegedly signed upwards of 10-plus &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/4/27/24142341/titans-undrafted-free-agent-signing-rumors-news-tracker"&gt;undrafted free agents&lt;/a&gt; following the conclusion of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;2024 NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;. I’ve spent the past few days familiarizing myself with all of them. I’ve also confirmed various reported signings through independent sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p id="MAwOsu"&gt;One of those signings is Kansas State defensive end Khalid Duke, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson. The Titans gave Duke $52,500 in total guarantees, including $40,000 in salary guarantees. That indicates Duke is Tennessee’s second-highest paid undrafted free agent, trailing just offensive linemen &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/4/30/24145459/titans-2024-udfa-primer-cole-spencer-is-tennessees-high-priced-addition"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cole Spencer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  180.  
  181. &lt;/div&gt;
  182. &lt;p id="kk51kN"&gt;Duke recorded a career-high 6.0 sacks this past campaign. He played his entire college football career at Kansas State, totaling 14 sacks and 125 tackles across five seasons. Duke is an undersized pass rusher that pairs speed with first-step explosiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
  183. &lt;p id="j0pWNl"&gt;Duke’s athletic profile is a mixed bag. The Atlanta, Georgia native ran a solid 4.79 40 with average splits of 2.8 and 1.69 at 6-foot-3 and 248 pounds. Play strength has been an issue, and Duke recorded just 21 reps on the bench press. Duke also posted solid vertical (34 inches) and broad jump (9-foot-9) results.&lt;/p&gt;
  184. &lt;div id="0cpNI0"&gt;
  185. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  186. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Khalid Duke is a DE prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 5.85 &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAS?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#RAS&lt;/a&gt; out of a possible 10.00.

  189.  
  190. &lt;/div&gt;
  191. &lt;p id="UXXJjT"&gt;The Titans didn’t draft a pass rusher in the 2024 NFL Draft until selecting Jaylen Harrell in the seventh round. General manager Ran Carthon should search for an early-down veteran defender to play opposite Harold Landry III in free agency. Until a move is finalized, Duke appears to possess a solid opportunity to push players like Rashad Weaver, Caleb Murphy, and Thomas Rush for a 53-man roster spot. &lt;/p&gt;

  212.  
  213.  &lt;p id="CgvE36"&gt;Winners and losers is a popular thing on the internet. People do it after practices, preseason games, regular season games, and the NFL Draft. It’s one of the things that really pops on the search engines. It’s oversimplified, but it can be a good indicator of how we feel about those things.&lt;/p&gt;
  214. &lt;p id="a0dago"&gt;So with that being said, did the Titans come out of the 2024 NFL Draft as winners or losers? &lt;/p&gt;
  215. &lt;p id="5cTmLv"&gt;For me it’s pretty simple, if JC Latham fixes the massive hole they’ve had at left tackle for the last two years the Titans are winners in this draft. If he doesn’t, then they will need a couple of the day three picks to hit for it to be a win.&lt;/p&gt;
  216. &lt;p id="BxqIeR"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; fans and fans across the country. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EFIUQ7/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sign up here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  235.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  236.  
  237.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Titans signed undrafted offensive linemen Cole Spencer to a contract that contains significant guarantees&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="HYfmpD"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; have allegedly signed upwards of 10-plus &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/4/27/24142341/titans-undrafted-free-agent-signing-rumors-news-tracker"&gt;undrafted free agents&lt;/a&gt; following the conclusion of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;2024 NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;. I’ve spent the past few days familiarizing myself with all of them. I’ve also confirmed various reported signings through independent sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;p id="MAwOsu"&gt;One of those signings is Texas Tech interior offensive linemen Cole Spencer, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson. The Titans gave Spencer $75,000 in total guarantees, including $65,000 in salary guarantees. My sourcing indicates this makes Spencer the Titans’ best-paid undrafted free agent. That immediately indicates that the team possessed serious interest in his services.&lt;/p&gt;
  239. &lt;div id="4O7VT9"&gt;
  240. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  241. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; signing guard Cole Spencer to deal that includes $10,000 signing bonus with $65,000 of salary guaranteed for $75,000 in total guarantees, per a league source&lt;/p&gt;— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1784430661614354713?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 28, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  242. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  243. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  244.  
  245. &lt;/div&gt;
  246. &lt;p id="v20HE2"&gt;Spencer participated in Tennessee’s local workout day earlier this month. I had previously reported that he spent extensive time meeting with offensive line coach Bill Callahan following the conclusion of the local day. That always made Spencer a likely target for the Titans in undrafted free agency.&lt;/p&gt;
  247. &lt;p id="kk51kN"&gt;Spencer qualified to participate in Tennessee’s local day because he previously played at Western Kentucky, a local-eligible program, before transferring to Texas Tech.&lt;/p&gt;
  248. &lt;div id="j0pWNl"&gt;
  249. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  250. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; OL coach Bill Callahan met directly with Texas Tech guard Cole Spencer at &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Titans&lt;/a&gt; local Day today (4/11), sources confirmed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ML 1st: &lt;a href="https://t.co/0KCzSA8qT6"&gt;https://t.co/0KCzSA8qT6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/JustinM_NFL/status/1778522265350738021?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 11, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  251. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  252. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  253.  
  254. &lt;/div&gt;
  255. &lt;p id="xXEj7s"&gt;Spencer previously played left tackle at Western Kentucky in 2021, but he lacked the arm length (32 inches) required to continue playing that position at the next level. A preseason injury caused Spencer to miss the entire 2022 campaign. He transferred to Texas Tech ahead of 2023, where he appeared in six games primarily as a left guard before suffering another season-ending injury. There’s some injury-related concern here.&lt;/p&gt;
  256. &lt;p id="0GZc1d"&gt;In addition to impressing Callahan and Co. at the local day, Spencer enjoyed a phenomenal on-field workout at The Big 12 Pro Day. Spencer ran a lightning-quick 4.89 40-yard dash, which would have been the fastest-recorded time of any offensive linemen at the NFL Combine. He also posted 32 reps on the bench press, and leaped a 30.5 inch vertical, and 9-foot-4 broad, leading to a Relative Athletic Score of 9.43/10.&lt;/p&gt;
  257. &lt;div id="6azuqu"&gt;
  258. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;
  259. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Cole Spencer is a OG prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.43 &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAS?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#RAS&lt;/a&gt; out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 91 out of 1583 OG from 1987 to 2024. &lt;a href="https://t.co/WjQAxzm9Yi"&gt;https://t.co/WjQAxzm9Yi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/TcgGepgF00"&gt;pic.twitter.com/TcgGepgF00&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1781691793953685718?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 20, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  260. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  261. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  262.  
  263. &lt;/div&gt;
  264. &lt;p id="26wuP8"&gt;The Titans didn’t draft an interior offensive linemen. To my knowledge, he’s one of two, maybe three, swing interior guys they’ve signed in unrestricted free agency. Competition for spots inside include the other undrafted free agents, and players like Andrew Rupcich, Saahdiq Charles, and Lachavious Simmons. Pairing the lack of high-end competition with the money guaranteed to Spencer gives him a terrific chance to compete for a 53-man roster spot.&lt;/p&gt;

  282.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  283.  
  284.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If this comes true, it will be a long fall.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ngi0Jc"&gt;Dane Brugler is apparently not a Will Levis fan. He has put out a &lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641905&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheathletic.com%2F5458526%2F2024%2F04%2F30%2Fnfl-mock-draft-2025-prediction-shedeur-sanders-will-johnson%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dtwhq%26source%3Dtwitterhq&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.musiccitymiracles.com%2F2024%2F4%2F30%2F24145323%2Fdane-brugler-2025-nfl-mock-draft-titans-carson-beck" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;2025 NFL mock draft&lt;/a&gt; and has the &lt;a href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/"&gt;Tennessee Titans&lt;/a&gt; with the 2nd overall pick. I’d bet a ton of money that they will not be picking this high, but Brugler is right, if they are picking this high things went terribly with Levis. That would put the Titans in the market for a quarterback.&lt;/p&gt;
  285. &lt;p id="O1JVCk"&gt;One important note here, there is no chance the &lt;a href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/"&gt;Carolina Panthers&lt;/a&gt; take a defensive lineman with the first overall pick here. They would either trade the pick or be looking for a quarterback themselves because the Bryce Young experiment would be in bad shape if they are picking first.&lt;/p&gt;
  286. &lt;p id="trPbw6"&gt;With all of that being said, Brugler has the Titans taking Carson Beck, QB, Georgia with the second overall pick. Here are his comments on the pick:&lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  288. &lt;p id="Ksv7Jf"&gt;If the Titans are drafting this high next April, the organization might be re-examining its quarterback situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;p id="OECpxb"&gt;In his first year as a starter, Beck got consistently better with each performance and put some beautiful throws on tape. He enters the season as the quarterback scouts like the most.&lt;/p&gt;
  290. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  291. &lt;p id="q9gC5F"&gt;Of note, Brugler has the &lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt; picking 12th, the &lt;a href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/"&gt;Jacksonville Jaguars&lt;/a&gt; picking 15th, and the &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt; picking 26th.&lt;/p&gt;
