Tennessee Titans NFL Draft Picks 2020: Round-by-Round Results, Grades

Despite going just 9-7 in the 2019 regular season, the Tennessee Titans went on a deep postseason run, knocking off the Patriots and Ravens before falling in the AFC Championship to the Kansas City Chiefs. They nearly reached their first Super Bowl in 20 years, but the team's surprise run ended as a result of their 35-24 loss in Arrowhead Stadium.

In the 2019 NFL draft, Tennessee added defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons in the first round. They then added wide receiver A.J. Brown in the second round and guard Nate Davis in the third round. The Titans had just three picks in the remaining four rounds of the draft, where they selected safety Amani Hooker, linebacker D'Andre Walker and linebacker David Long Jr.

According to the MMQB's AFC South team needs, the Titans will look for a replacement at right tackle following the departure of Jack Conklin via free agency. Another potential area where the Titans could use additional depth is running back as star running back Derrick Henry is back on a one-year franchise tag deal. Defensively, the Titans are in need of additional cornerback depth following the departure of slot corner Logan Ryan via free agency. A week before the draft, Ryan reminded unsigned. Tennessee could also look to address its defensive line holes following the departures of Jurrell Casey, Austin Johnson and Brent Urban.

The Titans will pick No. 29 in the first round this year. You can follow along with AllTitans's draft live blog.

A full list of Tennessee's picks will be updated below as the draft progresses.

Round 1, Pick 29 (No. 29 overall): Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia

Andy Benoit's analysis: It’s straightforward: When you’re a run-heavy team and you just lost your quality right tackle in free agency, it’s imperative you find a new quality right tackle. Quality offensive tackles require an early-round pick. Especially when that tackle weighs 350 and is athletic. What’ll be interesting is to see if Wilson, at his size, can play at the NFL level with the needed quickness and mobility for Tennessee’s wide-zone blocking scheme. He wouldn’t be here if the Titans had many doubts that he could. Grade: B+

Round 2, No. 61 overall: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Andy Benoit's analysis: There were some concerns about Fulton’s inconsistent balance and technique at LSU, but he often compensated with his late recovery ability. Those recovery skills may not transfer cleanly to the much more competitive NFL, but the good news is Fulton steps into a scheme that features a lot of disguised zone coverage, including heavy doses of Cover 2. That can hide some of his warts. Grade: B-

Round 3, No. 93 overall: Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian State

Andy Benoit's analysis: Evans has big-time home-run hitting ability, and Tennessee’s wide-zone rushing attack presents opportunities for him to find space on the perimeter. He’ll fill departed veteran Dion Lewis’s old role and, given Derrick Henry’s passing game limitations, likely get every chance to earn the third-down duties. Grade: A

Round 5, No. 174 overall: Larrell Murchison, DT, North Carolina State

Round 7, No. 224 overall: Cole McDonald, QB, Hawaii

Round 7, No. 243 overall: Chris Jackson, DB, Marshall
