Tennessee Titans have another late round hit in Corey Levin

Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson hit a nice double in Corey Levin.

When the end of the 2017 NFL Draft rolled around the Tennessee Titans had 5 picks in the last three rounds.

Most GMs would be lucky to get a backup or a special teams player out of that group. However, it looks like Jon Robinson may end up with a starter and a key depth player. Look at the five players drafted:

5th round: Jayon Brown LB, UCLA

6th round: Corey Levin IOL, UTC

7th round: Josh Carraway EDGE, TCU

7th round: Brad Seaton OT, Villanova

7th round: Khalfani Muhammad RB, Cal

Both the players in bold have a chance to play a lot this year. Jayon Brown looks like he is going to be a situational starter at the very least playing on passing downs and maybe in situations where the Titans want an extra linebacker on the field.

On top of that, there is a chance that if Rashaan Evans doesn’t pick up the playbook quickly then he could be the starter next to Wesley Woodyard when Week 1 rolls around.

In the 7th round, there is a good chance that Carraway makes this roster this year and if not I bet he is put on the PS and then signed next year once more spots open up at the EDGE position.

Corey Levin is what turns this group from good to very good. Levin could be the Titans 7th offensive linemen capable of being an above average starter in the NFL. That comes at a time where there really is a lack of quality offensive linemen in the NFL and positions like guard and tackle are closer to top WRs rather than top TEs.

The reason why this is important now is because Levin was just a guy last year even though I liked his potential. In preseason games he was always ok, but rarely better or worse than that.

Now, Levin is leading the way on screens and dumping defensive linemen end of end on a play by play basis. He has been preforming so well that Mike Vrabel called him out by name:

Vrabel: Offensive lineman Corey Levin played his “best game as a Titan” last Thursday night.

The Tennessee Titans offensive line could go into the season looking like this:

LT: Taylor Lewan

LG: Quinton Spain

C: Ben Jones

RG: Josh Kline

RT: Jack Conklin

Swing tackle: Dennis Kelly

Backup C/G: Corey Levin

Backup utility player: Kevin Pamphile

That is one of the deepest units in the NFL that really could stand up to any team in the league top to bottom and argue that it is the best if Corey Levin takes that next step and becomes an above average center.

It isn’t flashy and it doesn’t sell tickets, but when January rolls around teams are begging for talent and depth on the offensive line. The Titans may be one of the few teams that can call their shot and assume that they will have it.
