The Tennessee Titans made just one selection of an offensive lineman in the 2022 NFL draft when they picked Ohio State offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere in the third round (No. 69 overall).
Going into the draft, it was thought the Titans could be in the market for two linemen, as the team also has an uncertain situation at the left guard spot after releasing Rodger Saffold this offseason.
Petit-Frere will compete for the starting right tackle spot in 2022, presumably against Dillon Radunz, but many expect him to need time to develop, which could mean the Titans had an eye on 2023 with this pick.
Looking ahead to next year (2023), Taylor Lewan will be 32 when the season starts, and it’s possible he could be a cap casualty before then, as cutting him would save $14.8 million and incur no dead-cap hit.
So, what are the Titans getting in their newest offensive tackle? Find out now as we take a look at the pre-draft scouting reports on Petit-Frere.
