Titans’ Ran Carthon, Mike Vrabel talk WR situation, Day 3 picks, more

After the Tennessee Titans culminated the 2023 NFL draft with a total of three selections on Day 3, head coach Mike Vrabel and general manager Ran Carthon met with the media to discuss the picks, and the class as a whole.

Tennessee added offensive tackles Peter Skoronski (Round 1) and Jaelyn Duncan (Round 6), quarterback Will Levis (Round 2), running back Tyjae Spears (Round 3), tight end Josh Whyle (Round 5), and wideout Colton Dowell (Round 7).

The obvious trend with this group is that every player is an offensive one. As much as we aren’t happy with the direction at wide receiver, at least Carthon and Vrabel went heavy on the side of the ball that needed the most help.

Carthon said taking all offensive players didn’t dawn on him until after the draft was done.

Along with Carthon and Vrabel, assistant general manager Chad Brinker spoke to the media for the first time since coming aboard this offseason. Check out what each had to say below about several topics below.
