The Tennessee Titans have selected Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks with the No. 18 overall pick at the 2022 NFL Draft.

They received the pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for AJ Brown in a blockbuster trade.

Burks will be a comparable replacement for Brown as he plays very similarly. Bruks played 32 games at Arkansas, scoring 18 receiving touchdowns. In 2021, he had 66 catches for 1,104 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns, and averaged 16.7 yards per reception. He was named to the First-Team All-SEC this past season.

“My high school head coach said this morning that the Titans were going to get me,” Burks said in a press conference with media. “I didn’t believe him at the time, but once I got the call I was like, ‘This dude was right.”

Brown immediately signed a four-year $100 million deal with $57 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport.

The Titans traded their 26th and 101st overall picks to the Jets in exchange for the 35th, 69th, 163rd picks.

Tennessee are set to select at the 35th, 69th and 90th pick Friday, April 28 in round two and three of the NFL Draft.

Today is the big day: NFL Draft Day. Teams are ready to get on the clock in Las Vegas for the 2022 NFL Draft, which should be high stakes.

Titans General Manager Jon Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel will have some big decisions to make at pick No. 26 in the first round.

Will they make a move for an offensive tackle after the O-line suffered injuries throughout last season? Or will they go after a wide receiver and give Ryan Tannehill another weapon? Or will the Titans make a bold move and draft a quarterback?

So many discussions have been had all year on who the Titans will add to make them a better championship caliber team. Here’s a look at what the NFL Draft experts say as to who the Titans will draft later tonight.

One name that continues to show up on late Mock Drafts is Texas A&M guard Kenyon Green. ESPN Titans reporter Turan Davenport has Green as the Titans first pick as well as Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Hanson. Josh Edwards at CBS Sports also has Green going at No. 26 to the Titans and it makes a lot of sense.

The Titans lost Rodger Saffold this offseason and had some issues with the offensive line in 2021-22. Adding a young, strong offensive lineman would be a perfect way to get the offense going in 2022-23.

Green has been a standout since his high school football days in Humble, Texas. He started all 13 games of his first year with the Aggies at right guard in 2019 and was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. In 2020, Green moved to left guard, starting all 10 games and receiving second-team Associated Press All-American and second-team All-SEC accolades. In 2021, he showed off his experience and skill by playing at four positions (two at right tackle, one at left tackle, two at right guard, seven at left guard) and earned first-team AP All-American and all-conference honors. He was a finalist for the Lombardi Award as the nation’s top lineman last season.

On his NFL.com combine profile, Green is graded at 6.45, saying that he will become a good starter in about two years. Obviously, this is just a projection and anything can happen with good coaches and hard work. But if he is a player that won’t be ready by game one this season, will the Titans want to use their first round pick when they’re already a top AFC contender?

Sport’s Illustrated’s Titans writer John Glennon also have the Titans going in on an offensive lineman with Boston College guard Zion Johnson. The six-foot, five-inch 312 pounder is considered a safe and high-quality pick by Glennon.

Johnson is a workhorse, playing in 58 straight games for BC. In the past two seasons, he’s given up just three sacks in 779 pass-block snaps.

ESPN’s NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper has the Titans going in on an offensive weapon with Penn State wide receiver Jahan Datson.

Last season with the Nittany Lions, Datson played in 12 games with 91 receptions and 1,182 receiving yards. He scored 12 touchdowns for Penn State and averaged 13 yards per catch.

However, NFL.com does say some of his weaknesses include needing additional steps to break off intermediate comebacks, play strength issues show up against clingy coverage, and that he allows too much intrusion into the catch area. They grade him at 6.25, saying he will eventually become a starter. He may need some extra work to become a top target in Tannehill’s offense, but after the immense struggle of Julio Jones, the Titans do need to fill a space at wide receiver.

Luke Easterling with Yahoo! Sports has Georgia wide receiver George Pickens headed to the Titans in the first round.

In his freshman year, Pickens led the team with 49 receptions, 727 receiving yards, 14.8 per reception, and eight receiving touchdowns which earned him a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team and sharing the team’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year Award. One concern is that he tore an ACL in spring 2021 practices. He was able to return for the last four games where he had five catches, 107 receiving yards and 21.4 per reception.

The mock drafts thus far have all consistently predicted an offensive lineman or a receiver but the NFL Draft always has some unpredictability. With the Titans having a late round pick but needing some specific pieces, don’t be surprised if some moves are made.

The 2022 NFL Draft First Round begins at 7 p.m. CT from Las Vegas. Fans can watch it live on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.

It’s NFL Draft week and coaches and general managers from across the league are finishing up their game plans for Thursday night.

Many organizations spend the entire year scouting and planning for the draft as the future of the franchise can rely so heavily on which young player is selected. Along with the 32 teams, the host city spends years planning and organizing the three big nights for football fans across the country.

Nashville hosted the draft in 2019 in what was the most fan involved NFL Draft ever. Among the festivities were concerts, interactive events, plus the many bars on Broadway. It was the highest attended draft and proved Nashville as a legitimate sports city.

Music City’s draft brought in 600,000 fans and 47.5 million TV viewers, making it the highest rated, attended, and watched NFL Draft in history.

Both the NFL and city walked away with millions of dollars. The draft created $10.6 million in tax revenue and fees with 54 percent of attendees visiting from outside Nashville and staying an average of 2.8 nights, according to The Tennessean. The revenue was up 79 percent the year before when it was hosted at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Both the city and the NFL want the draft to come back to Music City, so it isn’t a question of if but when.

Between 1965 and 2014, every NFL Draft was hosted in New York City. Since then, the NFL has brought the draft to other major NFL cities. This year’s host is Las Vegas who will also be hosting the Super Bowl next year. With the city’s brand new stadium, Allegiant Arena which houses the Raiders, it has become a hot spot and has attracted many events.

2023’s host city will be Kansas City and Detroit will host the 2024 draft.

In 2020, reports were made regarding Nashville planning to bid for the 2024 or 2025 NFL Draft. The 2024 draft host city is set but 2025 will be a top option. Green Bay lost its bid to Detroit for 2024, so their eyes will be set for 2o25 and will most likely push very hard.

If Nashville fails to secure a bid for 2025, they next best option may be 2027 or 2028. Music City is currently pushing extremely hard to host a 2026 World Cup match at Nissan Stadium. If the city were to host a game or two, it would pass on the draft as FIFA would want 100 percent of planning and dedication going to the World Cup.

A new Titans stadium would also change everything. If a stadium were to be built by 2026 or 2027, Nashville wouldn’t just host an NFL Draft, but also an NFL Combine and, most importantly, a Super Bowl.

There are still some things that need to be cleared up before any of these questions are answered, but if the NFL is smart, they will most definitely be back and the city will make it bigger than ever.

The recent reports regarding a new Titans stadium all lead to the fact the new home of the Titans will be domed.

Reports from Axios say the new stadium will be covered in an attempt to attract more, and larger, events like the NCAA Final Four, the college football National Championship and a Super Bowl. The estimated cost for this new stadium will be in the neighborhood of $2 billion.

Over the past few years, almost all new NFL stadiums have either been enclosed or had retractable roofs.

SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles became home to the LA Rams and LA Chargers in 2020. The stadium cost $5 billion to build, according to the LA Times.

SoFi Stadium has a fixed roof and can seat 70,000, but for major events can expand to seat over 100,000 fans. It hosted the 2022 Super Bowl and will host the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2023, WrestleMania 39 in April 2023, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Summer Olympics. It will also most likely host a major 2026 World Cup game.

Nashville has put their best foot forward in its bid to host a World Cup match. With events like the NFL Draft, Stanley Cup Playoffs and CMA Fest, Music City has proven to be a top destination for major events. With a new stadium built in time for the 2026 World Cup, Nashville would almost definitely receive a match in the world’s biggest tournament.

Las Vegas opened Allegiant Stadium in 2020, welcoming in the Raiders who left Oakland. Allegiant Stadium is an enclosed arena that cost $1.9 billion to build and can fit 65,000 NFL fans. It hosted the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final between the U.S. and Mexico. It’s hosting the 2022 NFL Draft later this month and is set to host next year’s Super Bowl. It also hosted events like the ACM Awards.

Mercedes Benz Arena in Atlanta was built in 2017 and cost $1.2 billion to construct. The home of the Atlanta Falcons has been one of the most sought after arenas in the United States and has hosted the NCAA College Football National Championship in 2018 and was set to host the 2020 NCAA Final Four before the tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic.

The arena is also home to Atlanta United FC and the SEC Championship, and hosted a handful of major soccer matches. Mercedes Benz Arena will be also be at the top of the list to host a 2026 World Cup game.

The Dallas Cowboys were one of the first NFL teams to kickoff the trend of these massive enclosed arenas that offer more than a basic football experience. And the Titans certainly won’t be the last.

At the end of March, the Buffalo Bills announced they would be building a new stadium. It would cost $1.4 billion, $800 million of which will come from the county and state of New York. This will become the most taxpayers have ever paid for an NFL stadium. Governor Bill Lee has announced that $500 million in bonds would go towards funding the Titans’ new stadium.

The only difference between the Bills new stadium and the rest is Buffalo’s will have an open roof, allowing the team to benefit from its cold weather, which it is accustomed to.

This is unique and would only apply to certain teams in certain areas of the country. Nissan Stadium has become a hot place for concerts and other events, which will no longer be subject to poor weather.

Because Mayor John Cooper has vowed to not assist the funding of the new stadium with taxpayer dollars, this project will cost the Titans organization a pretty penny.

Everyday, more information regarding funding and construction is being released and it is only a matter of time before the Titans lay out their full plan.
