How experts graded Titans’ JC Latham pick in NFL draft

The Tennessee Titans made a much-needed addition to their offensive line in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft when they selected offensive tackle JC Latham out of Alabama.

It wasn’t the pick fans and media expected in that spot, as many believed Latham would be an option for the Titans if they were to trade back. Nevertheless, Tennessee has landed its left tackle of the future.

We start our grades round-up with our own Matthew Curry, who gave the Titans a “B+” for the pick. Here are some of this thoughts:

The 21-year-old is an absolute road grader in the run game with incredible play strength. He finishes blocks with tenacity and fights until the whistle.

Latham moves a lot better than most people his size and showcased impressive foot speed in pass protection throughout his career. As you can imagine, Latham’s anchor is incredible. As a result, he is never bull-rushed.

Overall, the sky is the limit for JC Latham. With Bill Callahan in his corner, he has all the makings of a franchise cornerstone for years to come.
