Titanic collapse: How the Titans went from No. 1 seed in the loaded AFC to the No. 1 pick

The Tennessee Titans, who were the No. 1 seed in the AFC just a few months ago, have now found themselves in possession of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. This dramatic fall from grace is the result of a combination of factors, including key injuries, coaching changes, and inconsistent performance throughout the season. The Titans' struggles can be attributed to the loss of star players like Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, as well as the midseason firing of head coach Mike Vrabel. This led to a cascade of issues, including a lack of offensive production and a porous defense. Despite starting the season as one of the top teams in the conference, the Titans were unable to overcome these challenges and finished the year with a disappointing record. This collapse has left the Titans with the opportunity to rebuild through the upcoming draft, as they aim to reclaim their position as a contender in the AFC.
