We’ve made clear our reactions to the Colts’ selections in the 2022 NFL Draft, but we’ve yet to cover every move made by the AFC South.
Naturally we saved the best, or should I say most hated, for last; the Tennessee Titans.
Viewed as the only real rival to the Indianapolis Colts over the last few years, the Titans’ once again got the better of Indy and captured the AFC South crown in 2021.
On top of that, the Titans had the best regular season of any team in the AFC last year and earned the top seed from the conference in the NFL Playoffs.

As I said many times during that run, the Titans were without a doubt one of the weaker #1 seeds in recent memory and bowed out in their opening round matchup against eventual AFC Champion the Cincinnati Bengals.
Rookie Evan McPherson kicked a 52-yard field goal as time expired, and the Cincinnati Bengals edged the Tennessee Titans 19-16 to advance to the AFC title game. The Bengals won despite quarterback Joe Burrow getting sacked nine times. https://t.co/CnFL4k7JbV

If that heart break wasn’t enough for Titans fans, they endured a tumultuous offseason with star wideout AJ Brown demanding a trade after having his pay day request fall on deaf ears.
That trade request was granted on the first night of the NFL Draft, when the Titans shipped Brown to Philadelphia.

So where do the Titans go from here, how good is Brown’s replacement in Treylon Burks and are they really second best in the AFC South?
