With the Tennessee Titans in the market for at least one offensive tackle this offseason, it comes as no surprise that the team is doing its due diligence at the position ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
Of course, left tackle is arguably the biggest priority of the entire offseason, but it’s also possible Tennessee is exploring adding a right tackle, also, as the jury is still out on Nicholas Petit-Frere, who struggled in Year 1. Adding to that, general manager Ran Carthon didn’t draft him.
As such, the team is keeping an eye on Tennessee offensive tackle, Darnell Wright, who will play right tackle at the next level. The Titans had a formal meeting with him at the NFL Combine, according to The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler.
Long list of formal meetings for Tennessee OT Darnell Wright:
• Falcons
• Broncos
• Bengals
• Raiders
• Cardinals
• Lions
• Colts
• Chiefs
• Jaguars
• Titans
• Ravens
• Commanders— Ryan Fowler (@_RyanFowler_) March 6, 2023
Speaking of the combine, Wright did himself plenty of favors with a strong showing. He was already being mocked as a first-round pick by experts, and he has now further cemented that status and then some.
The Titans landing Wright in the draft seems unlikely, though.
I don’t see Tennessee spending the No. 11 overall pick on him, and it’s almost certain he won’t be around when the Titans pick next in the second round at No. 41 overall.
