Most of the Tennessee Titans had a good draft, but not all picks were winners. Jarrett Bailey of NFL Spin Zone wrote an article with each team’s worst draft pick and for the Titans he said it was Racey McMath.

Bailey explained why he thought McMath was the Titans’ worst selection in the 2021 NFL Draft:

McMath didn’t get a ton of targets at LSU and there were more proven guys in the job who were available. Austin Watkins of UAB would have been a great addition; instead, he is not drafted and signs with the 49ers.

McMath had the advantage of playing at LSU and, if Watkins or Cade Johnson of South Dakota State were to play in bigger schools, it wouldn’t be a competition for who is more qualified. It seems the Titans drafted the school rather than the player.

Racey McMath is considered the Tennessee Titans’ worst choice.

Honestly, if a sixth-round pick is the Titans’ worst draft pick, they clearly had a great draft. McMath was not seen as a game changer in the attack on Titan, but rather a piece of depth for a large receiving group who have taken a hit this offseason after losing Corey Davis and Adam Humphries.

Yes, there were better and more well-known options available at the wide receiver position as Bailey noted above, but in round six it’s all about finding guys who fit your team and your plan. The Titans clearly sensed that McMath had done this and they brought him in.

Titan Sized’s Bryce Lazenby agreed with Bailey’s assessment in his recent post on ratings, giving McMath a D.

It’s a bit of a concern that McMath never really factored in a high powered LSU offense. He only tallied 33 catches in his four seasons at the college level. He’s got speed and plans to be a deep threat with decent size and speed, but the sample size just isn’t there.

The Titans took another wide receiver, Dez Fitzpatrick, two rounds earlier and that pick was questioned a bit as well. The Titans’ handling of the wide receiver position as a whole has been criticized by NFL writers this week, and it makes sense why. It felt like the team could have put more emphasis on writing one, but they waited until Day 3 to tackle the post.

Many analysts felt the Titans hit both Fitzpatrick and McMath. While they may be on to something there, we won’t really know what to do with those picks until the season kicks off and we see the players in action.
