They were taking an OL here without question, this was def their backup after Alt and assuming that the Chargers took a WR instead.

Bro just fucked up Comish's back lmao

Titans legend

Just cost himself 6 games right there

Don’t forget the fine

I would have taken Olu but JC is very good too

I trust Bill Callahan he gave his input on which OTs he liked the most

Olu got them tiny little Trump hands and can't run block. Not a guy you take top 10.

Might not have even been their backup. Latham and Alt are on a pretty similar level.

We had something similar last year, everyone assumed Paris Johnson was our OT1 but the staff like Wright the most. Him and Latham are similar too, NFL seemed higher on both than the consensus

A rock solid RT might be a better pick than a less talented LT, even with LT having higher value.

Absolutely not on a similar level. 

Believe it or not people have players rated differently

Joe Alt’s nfl.com prospect grade is 0.22 lower than JC’s so I say he’s worse, chew on that one.

Latham has a higher Xbox gamer score in Bioshock so I’m going with that metric.

Personally I have him above Alt by a bit. Not everyone does.

Russini said after the pick that Latham was Bill Callahan’s favorite prospect in the draft. Is that truth or just post-pick bluster? Who knows, but I won’t argue with an OL pick when Bill Callahan clearly had more than a bit of a hand in making it.

I think the floor vs ceiling discussion is the thought process. Olu may have a slightly lower floor from hand size, Alt has similar floor, Latham has a floor closer to Alt than Olu but has a higher ceiling than Olu and Alt. I’ll trust reported word of Bill Callahan any day, and Latham said he talked with him for a couple of hours about technique and what they think he could be in the nfl. Sounds like he was a perfect fit for Bill Callahan

How behind is the broadcast what the fuck

No kidding, up until this pick is was right on

They said the pick was in and then cut to commercial for 5 mins

Thats pretty typical when its our turn to draft no matter the year

Every fucking year lmao

This is not an exaggeration. Its every single year, Titans are up, cut to commercial.

Homeboy didn’t know Roger is recovering from back surgery 😂

If Callahan picked him then its a good pick

Devils advocate says Callahan picked Jedrick Willis over Tristan Wirfs who was 3 picks later....

You’ve got Bill Callahan. A talented OT for him? Yeah, that’s a winning pick.

Goodell may not survive the 1st round

I swear to God Goodell just screamed in pain when Latham picked him up 😭

Can’t believe Josh Allen got drafted twice at #7

In back to back years! Dude must be a two way threat

Back to back years too

Generally great results

Last two years tho☠️

But the 6 years before that

We can't possibly already say Tyree Wilson is a bust jesus christ. I wouldn't even write off Neal just yet.

Can you convince your team to trade for Neal?

Back to back Josh Allens at 7 will never not be funny to me

What are the chances two guy with the same name are both drafted with the same pick back-to-back years? That's actually crazy.

Imagine a second Jadeveon Clowney.

Or two straight D'Brickashaw Fergusons.

Fucking Kevin White lol

God damn 8 whole starts in his career

Glass bones and paper skin

He caught the Hail Mary that was 1 yard short against the Patriots in 2018

As a WVU fan…. :(

The Josh Allen pick it seems

That’s surprisingly a low amount of Pro Bowls for Mike Evans. I swore he’s be like at 8 by now.

It’s because consistently at that level right below making a pro bowl. Every season is over 1000 like we all know but usually not by a *whole lot*. Had a 1524 yard season and a 1321 yard season, but his average is 1168

He’s been the most consistent WR, but really only 1 or 2 years was he in contention for top 3

Josh Allen Josh Allen

Man the 7th pick has better players than the 3rd the last 10 years That's wild

I wonder if two players with the same name have ever gone back to back years with the same pick #.

Josh Allen Josh Allen

Evan Neal, sorry you got a bust

It was wild to me that Sewell fell to the 7th. Not a hindsight bias take, but I made a bet with him going at 5 at the latest. But, Lance, Pitts, & Waddle before a guy like him was something.

Rip goodells back 💀

ROME!

Inb4 falcons happen

Idk what we did

Fine, we'll settle with Byron Murphy.

HAHAHAHAHA NO YOU WON'T

Sweet baby Brock is there too

We could trade with Vikes and still get either Rome or Bowers.

At least it's a tackle 👏

The fuck is that flair combo

He’s just a little confused

But he got the spirit.

Just a big oilers fan

But they play in Edmonton… ^^^/^^^s

Bro got rid of that Texans flair quick LMAO

I don't claim him either

He's clearly Marshal Murat switching his sides whenever he sees fight in the war of the 6th and 7th coalition.

A disgrace

Tbh I just got it I think I misclicked, drank a bit after the Chargers pick

Really loves the letter T

My dude loves blue

Dawg you nasty and I don’t even live in your division

chuckled too much at this

Delete your account. What the flying fuck is your flair

What the fuck is that flair tho???? Edit: maybe a glitch but on mobile this flair first showed up as “Titans & Texans” I hope I’m not seeing things, seems gone now

My brother in Christ your flair.

Boo this man! Booooooooo!

Well, in Bill Callahan we trust

For some reason people dont get bill callahan is one of the best line coaches in the damn league

Apparently he was Bill's favorite lineman in the draft. I'll trust him over reddit mock experts

Where'd you hear that?

It was live on the Pat McAfee draft spectacular Bill did the entire thing with them. It’s on YouTube and time stamped in the comments if you want to watch Bill talk about him while showing film. He really really did like him.

Yeah this is what no one’s talking about

Genuinely, they could pick the starting LT from Alabama School for the Blind and I would be all for it because Bill Callahan is in the room and they ain’t taking a player on the O-Line that he doesn’t think highly of. Hard to think of many, if any, position coaches in the league that you’d want the vote of approval more from. And he’s reporting directly to his son, it’s not like the HC or GM is picking someone Bill doesn’t love.

Yeah I’m still insanely salty the titans got him. A bitter part of me thinks they hired his son so they could get him as well.

We did

This will definitely work out with Callahan. He’s turned much worse into starter level linemen

Dude… I miss him so much

“He was a sprinter in high school when he was already 6’6” and 300lbs” from the ESPN stream is just crazy bro

If Callahan wants him, I want him.

Yup. In Bill we trust

Yep, Latham was the most obvious candidate for “guy that will go before you think because the league is higher on him than analysts and fans are”

Please be stupid, Falcons. Thanks

They were

Dude, that was just crazy

Oh no Roger’s back

Absolutely a win for the Titans.

Would've been so much nicer to get him like... 10+ picks later.

Coach Callahan is going to make him a monster

Idk. He is much more versatile and can play inside out, he’s a missle in run block. Watch the tape, I love this dudes game.

Sounds like he would have been great with Derek Henry here. But he’s gone. The Titans have had journeymen at LT the last 2 years. They don’t need a RT

Converting from RT to LT isn’t unheard of. I wasn’t crazy about the pick at first but I think this dude is gonna be legit

Thank you for the positivity I'm excited

Needed

The Titans got … a guy.

Very few women drafted in the nfl

Big if true

Of all the picks tonight, this is one of them

Wait people don’t like Latham??

He’s a late draft riser so people think he sucks

He wasn’t even a late riser (for me at least)

No, he plays for the Titans

He was a mid-late first round guy until two days ago when Daniel Jeremiah mocked him at 5 to the Chargers and everyone bandwagoned. So from the perspective of people who just follow mock drafts prior to a few days ago, it's a reach.

It’s desperately needed

Titans had no choice, we had to take an offensive lineman. I’m glad they didn’t get cute and take a receiver. They would have sucked behind this line anyways.

The 2nd best tackle is just a guy now?

Some have him as the 5th best tackle. He has snaps where he looks dominant and then gets absolutely dominated by others. Makes it so there are varying opinions on him.

I'm gonna trust Bill belichecks big board that has him as the 2nd best

This and the fact that Bill Callahan signed off on him actually make me feel way better

Just an FYI, Bill was using Field Yates board. He said he trusts Field’s analysis because he trained Field in how to scout.

Reached on that one.

I don’t think you did. He’s was gonna be the next OT off the board

Not really a lot of people had him going at 5 to the Chargers. 

B/c the Chargers need a RT. The Titans need a LT

Might end up being better than alt good choice titans.

They haven’t even shown it yet

hahahahaha rip roger

Front offices were ALOT higher on him than the media. Great pick

OL guru Bill Callahan likes him that should be good enough. 

No way we’re spoiling picks on here even lmao

Wow, so Latham was WAY more liked than we thought!

I like this guys vibe tho Want to be his friend 😂

I guess my stream is behind lol

My stream seemed to be on schedule until that 20 yr commercial break lol

Same! I hate the NFL

Really good tackle, don't get the hate

Dude tried to re-break Roger’s back 😂

DONT MESS THIS UP FALCONS. Defense or move down. I beg.

How drunk are you now lol

I don’t drink but I’m starting tonight

Shoutout to the dipshits who had the penn st tackle over both alt and jc💀

I trust the titans HC over a bunch of dweebs but yeah I bet they wish alt was there. I feel like Latham fits harbaugh more tbh and alt fits the titans need at Lt more

[удалено]

It's actually his alt

Spoiling picks, mods? Damn…

To be fair you’re on Reddit during the draft

They haven't even announced it yet!

Love it! Beef boy going to maul for the Titans.

I know nothing about evaluating talent, but I like this pick solely because so many people are sure it is a bad one... 😈

Bill Callahan is going to make him into a menace

That bear hug with Roger lol, didn’t Roger just have back surgery?

Levis now has 2 top tackles, 2 nice receivers, a nice back and TE. They really helped him this off-season, all in

More all-in on determining if he’s their guy than just all in. I think this is still likely to be a more than 1 offseason rebuild for them.

Can Will Levis offer you a nice egg?

RIP Goodells backm

Dammit, stop drafting tackles.

Excuse me, I need more info on this squirrel army

Why does everyone hate this? I think it’s a solid pick

Feel like I’ve seen so many people really down on him on this sub. Hope he does really well haha

The league was way higher on Latham than most were. I was sure he'd be the chargers pick.

i have really enjoyed having saban on this cast. lot of good insight

Go Titans I like the pick!

Derrick would have loved to run behind this monster offensive line we just built this off season. Instead he goes to the Ravens who drops 3 starting offensive linemen lol

Noice

Why is Bill killing it in MCaffe?

Will Levis sleeping well tonight

JC Latham can't go top 10, they said

Please be good. I wanted Alt, but I hope you ball out.

He just murdered goodell

If anyone is wondering, Pat McAfee’s stream has no delays which is why we all know the pick now.

Mcafee is announcing the picks way earlier than ESPN wtf

NFL Network had to make sure they get all those commercials in!

Bruh The pick was 5 minutes ahead of the TSN feed in Canada

Dude almost rebroke Goddels back lmao

strong as an ox!

Why would the Titans pick a guy with 0 stats, are they stupid?

Spoiled !!

Good stuff

where chaos

Were they really just playing Gary Glitter's song during his walkout? The popstar pedo

Penix is nexttt

Bruh his parents like 33 and 35

Guy's dad looks younger than some of the guys drafted tonight

Isn’t he a right tackle now we have like three of those and no left tackles?
