Linebacker Fred Warner has been selected three times, tight end George Kittle two times, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, defensive end Nick Bosa, and safety Talanoa Hufanga have all been selected once for the San Francisco 49ers, a team that has made it to the NFC Championship in four of the past five seasons.

Only one of TEN’s first-round picks before 2021, DT Jeffery Simmons, remains on the team.

In the 2023 NFL Draft, Carthon made 6 draft selections, marking his first draft as the General Manager of Tennessee.

All 6 picks were used on offensive players, including 2 offensive linemen, a quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver, and a tight end.

Moved up from 41st to 33rd overall in the 2nd round to draft quarterback Will Levis, who made 9 starts as a rookie with a 3-6 win-loss record, 8 passing touchdowns, and 4 interceptions.

This offseason, Carthon signed free agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley to a four-year contract worth $92.0M, which equates to $23.0M annually.

In 2023, Ridley led the JAX team with 1,016 receiving yards and 8 receiving touchdowns.

During the first night of the 2022 NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans, under General Manager Jon Robinson, traded wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles. In return, they received the 18th and 101st overall picks, and used the 18th pick to select wide receiver Treylon Burks.

Sneed has won the Super Bowl twice (Super Bowl LVII & LVIII with the Chiefs).

NGS reports: In 2023, Sneed was the only player to allow zero touchdowns on over 80 targets, specifically on 90 targets.

In the last five Drafts, the Titans have not utilized a top-3 round pick to select an edge rusher, safety, or tight end.
