Titans’ 2022 draft class ranked outside top 10 by CBS Sports

It’s no secret that the Tennessee Titans had a rather disappointing 2022 season.

The Titans lost their final seven games of the season, ultimately snapping their streak of three-straight playoff appearances and two-straight division championships in the process.

Fortunately, despite the lackluster on-field product, there were at least a few bright spots on the team to get excited about, particularly when it came to the most recent rookie class.

According to Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports, Tennessee finished with the 13th-best draft class after the group’s first season in the league. The main standouts of the class were tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo, wide receiver Treylon Burks, and cornerback Roger McCreary.

When explaining his reasonings for his rankings, Trapasso stated the following:

Okonkwo flashed as a YAC specialist in a low-volume role, and once he was nursed to full health, Burks proved to everyone why he was a first-round pick. McCreary was able to get past his short-arm deficiency as an inside-out corner in Year 1. 

All three of the aforementioned young players figure to be an integral piece of the Titans’ roster for the foreseeable future. It will be interesting to see how Okonkwo, Burks, and McCreary follow up their solid debut seasons.
