Isaiah Wilson situation serves as reminder: Even good teams make 1st round mistakes

Rams fans would have been elated if somehow Les Snead had managed to secure tackle Isaiah Wilson in the draft last year. A 6’7, 350 lb 21-year-old out of Georgia who was expected to do no less than perfectly complement Derrick Henry’s right side in Tennessee, Wilson didn’t come close Snead’s first pick at 52. The Titans chose him to be Jack Conklin’s natural replacement at right tackle with the 29th pick in the first round and how could anyone have doubted Tennessee’s ability to choose and develop an offensive lineman?

After a disappointment with Chance Warmack in 2013, the Titans started with Taylor Lewan in 2014, then Conklin in 2016, then Nate Davis in 2019.
