BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~196 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~204
ANALYSIS: Okonkwo has yet to see steady enough involvement to justify any significant draft pick, but the 2024 Titans are set to pass, pass, and pass. Will Levis is now surrounded by DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, and a pair of receiving RBs in Tony Pollard/Tyjae Spears. The initial reflex here is that there’s not much left for Okonkwo, but what if we re-frame it as a philosophical shift?
The age of Mike Vrabel and Derrick Henry pounding the rock is gone. New offensive coordinator Nick Holz comes from Jacksonville, where Trevor Lawrence was eighth in air yards and the Jags were top 10 in passing attempts and yards.
That’s neat, but he won’t be calling the plays. The new head coach, Brian Callahan, who comes from a Bengals team that let Joe Burrow sling it, will be. Zac Taylor chose the play call in Cincy, but Callahan and Burrow put together the call sheet.
Back to Okonkwo, who often had snap counts above 60% and collected half of his 528 yards after the catch in 2023. It’s not his fault that TEN was a run-happy team. Did you know he was the No. 12 TE in team target share at 16.1%, earning a TE1-caliber piece of the pie?
But he only had six red-zone targets because who wouldn’t just give it to King Henry down there? Take a chance on the overall volume being the tide that lifts all ships, with Okonkwo being the overlooked one.
If Josh Whyle winds up siphoning routes run instead of just soaking up run-block assignments then we pivot. But in the meantime, Chig is well worth taking a flyer on in the late rounds.
