He has bigger hands and longer arms/wingspan than Alt (who everyone seems to love) and everyone knows that longer means better!
Did he wear a gold helmet though?
They sure a shit don't have anyone I'm comfortable with at LT if Latham can't switch.
Looks like dad Callahan has done this before
2023: 569 snaps, 6 penalties, 3 sacks

No.
They really spent #7 on a RT that has already been announced as the LT.
OT options are looking thin in Round 2. Tackle had to be the move at 7
With all our RTs we should have drafted a left handed QB then we would be all set at protecting the blind side
Callahan on Latham playing left vs right tackle "Really, it's all the same traits it's just the matter of now you're switching your stance and kicking a different way. It's really just how comfortable you are about switching directions and going a different way versus what you've repped so many times"
Btw, Latham played LT in highschool (#1 LT in the country in HS) and repped LT and RT at Alabama. It's not like he's never seen a football before. Just so happens they went with someone else at LT on his college team.
The Titans have a coach who is considered one of the best OL coaches in the league and he's confident and excited about this kid at LT... So, we'll see if it works out.

i wonder if we will ever draft an LT to play LT
or just keep drafting fat guys and putting them at LT hoping they can block

I was thinking that earlier! Just go lefty
Well, our earlier attempts recently smell of chit, so we have that.
That might make it worse tbh
People that don’t like this pick obviously didn’t watch the titans the last 2 years having our qb getting murdered in the backfield.
This was a necessary pick and getting the most athletic baddest olinemen in the draft who just happens not to be Joe Alt SHOULD be celebrated.
It doesn’t matter how many “weapons” you have on offense when your qb is getting sacked 5 times a game. And literally has less than 2 seconds before he is getting pressured.
The titans line got a huge shot in the arm this off season and so maybe we have a top ten line this year.

You are just using the position switch as a cop out about not drafting who you wanted them to draft. Peter was our best linemen last year and now we have Latham to move stacks of men.
Besides most of you wanted Nabors and he was gone and so you would “reach” on odunze.
I would have taken Pennix Jr myself, but I understand that an olineman was necessary.
It is ridiculous that because the absolute best lineman wasn’t available (according to mock drafts) that somehow the titans got hosed, but people were willing to take the 3rd wide receiver off the board.
I didn't want Odunze either. Fashanu was widely considered the 2nd best LT in this class. I wanted either Fashanu or Bowers, or preferably trade down.
The position switch is not a cup out. Everything is completely flipped moving from 1 side to the other. That makes 2 straight years we've taken an OL with our first pick and didn't intend to have him play his primary position.

Switching from RT in college to LT in the NFL isn't unheard of. Also, many LTs in college are switched to RT in the NFL. Does that mean every LT turned RT is going to fail? Or is that only when you go right to left?
