Tennessee Titans NFL draft picks 2024: Full list of team's round-by-round selections
Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Tennessee Titans:
Round 1 (No. 7 overall) — JC Latham, OT, Alabama: Maybe not the tackle the Titans had targeted, but Latham should settle in to an O-line that needs the help. Massive at 6-6, 342-pounds, he was a fixture at right tackle for the Crimson Tide and is a mauler who can also play guard. And given the Titans addressed the offensive skill positions in free agency (WR Calvin Ridley, RB Tony Pollard), may as well continue leveling up the line after they made LG Peter Skoronski their first-round pick in 2023. Now Tennessee continues to invest in the protection around second-year QB Will Levis. And don’t forget, new head coach Brian Callahan hired his father, legendary O-line coach Bill Callahan, to remediate a front five that surrendered 64 sacks in 2023, tied for most in the AFC.

Round 2 (38) — T'Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas: The Big 12 defensive player of the year, they don't come much bigger than the 6-5, 366-pounder. His weight and a recent DWI arrest didn't help Sweat during the pre-draft process, but the man can still plug a hole. And he'll likely help Pro Bowl DT Jeffery Simmons penetrate even more effectively. Draft tracker
Round 4 (106) — Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina: Gray filled up the stat sheet with 100-plus tackles in his final three seasons at UNC, but he also struggled to get off blocks at times and had a propensity to miss tackles. Draft tracker
Round 5 (146, from Vikings through Eagles) — Jarvis Brownlee Jr., CB, Louisville: Tennessee bolstered cornerback in free agency by signing Chidobe Awuzie and trading for L'Jarius Sneed. Brownlee Jr. is a physical corner and plays aggressive against the run. Considering the options on the board here, the Titans would've been better served shoring up other positions. Draft tracker
Round 6 (182, reacquired through Eagles) — Jha'Quan Jackson, WR, Tulane: Tennessee continues to build around quarterback Will Levis with the undersized but fast Jackson. His athletic profile lines up well with Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed and he offers returner upside immediately. Injuries and route running are both concerns at this point. Draft tracker
Round 7 (242, from Eagles) — James Williams, S, Miami (Fla.): Williams is a tough read on the pro level. He has the size of a linebacker (6-4 and 231 pounds) and the speed to chase down receivers. Tennessee is getting a useful player who will be an aggressive coverage player that can blitz or cover. If he finds a role, this could be a steal for the Titans in Round 7. Draft tracker
Round 7 (252, from Chiefs) — Jaylen Harrell, DE, Michigan: Harrell lacks the size you'd prefer for an edge rusher but his production is impressive (a team-high 7.5 sacks for Michigan in 2023). He's a standout straight line athlete with impressive jumps and an above-average wingspan. His effort and profile could make him a sub-package rusher for the Titans. Draft tracker
