NY Jets must consider mimicking Titans’ 2023 draft strategy

The overwhelming majority of NFL draft classes feature a balanced mix of offensive and defensive reinforcements. The 2023 Tennessee Titans decided to buck the trend. Led by first-year general manager Ran Carthon, the Titans used all six of their draft picks on offensive players:

  • Round 1, Pick 11: OL Peter Skoronski
  • Round 2, Pick 33: QB Will Levis
  • Round 3, Pick 81: RB Tyjae Spears
  • Round 5, Pick 147: TE Josh Whyle
  • Round 6, Pick 186: OL Jaelyn Duncan
  • Round 7, Pick 228: WR Colton Dowell

Carthon stated after the draft that going all-offense was not something the team did intentionally.
