Titans thought they could easily move on from their big stud WR in the 2022 offseason. Got a 1st round pick for him. And spent it on a big WR to easily replace the proven commodity they shipped away. Fast forward two years. Head coach fired and looking like a first round bust WR.

I agree with your point overall, there's no guarantees in the draft. Heck, Henry Ruggs and Jameson Williams are 2 of the 8 top-12 picks at WR in the last 4 drafts. 

That said, the Titans traded their #1 (and only good) WR. Trading him meant their leading remaining WR in yards from that 2021 was a 2nd year UDFA with 476 receiving yards. That is decidedly not the same as the Bengals situation where they'd be trying to replace a #2 WR while still having Ja'Marr Chase.
